django-scss is a Django app that provides template tags to compile SCSS into CSS from templates. It works with both inline code and extenal files.
Installation
- Add "django_scss" to INSTALLED_APPS setting.
- Make sure that you have sass executable installed. See SASS official site for details.
- Optionally, you can specify the full path to sass executable with SCSS_EXECUTABLE setting. By default it's set to sass.
Example Usage
Inline
{% load scss %}
< style >
{% inlinescss %}
#header {
h1 {
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
}
p { font-size: 12px;
a { text-decoration: none;
&:hover { border-width: 1px }
}
}
}
{% endinlinescss %}
< /style >
renders to
< style >
#header h1 {
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold; }
#header p {
font-size: 12px; }
#header p a {
text-decoration: none; }
#header p a:hover {
border-width: 1px; }
< /style >
External file
{% load scss %}
< link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL}}{% scss "path/to/styles.scss" %}" / >
renders to
< link rel="stylesheet" href="/media/SCSS_CACHE/path/to/styles-91ce1f66f583.css" / >
Note that by default compiled files are saved into SCSS_CACHE folder under your STATIC_ROOT (or MEDIA_ROOT if you have no STATIC_ROOT in your settings). You can change this folder name with SCSS_OUTPUT_DIR setting.
Note that all relative URLs in your stylesheet are converted to absolute URLs using your STATIC_URL setting.
