The pythonic awesome stylesheet language.

About

Pass is a dynamic stylesheet language and css preprocessor for web-developers that makes ccs coding simple and beautiful by having dynamic behavior such as variables, inheritance, operations and functions with python like indented syntax.

Installation

pip install pass

Command-line usage

pass style.pass

Usage in Code

import Pass

Pass('style.pass')

Syntax

Variables and operators

Variables allow you to specify widely used values in a single place, and then re-use them throughout the stylesheet, making global changes as easy as changing one line of code.

// Pass
link_active = #1f6ba2
link_hover = #ccc
link_height = 32px
link_size = 1em

.menu-item
  color link_active
  line-height link_height / 2

a:hover
  color link_hover
  font-size link_size + 0.5
  background #000
/* Compiled CSS */
.menu-item {
    color: #1f6ba2;
    line-height: 16px
}
a:hover {
    color: #ccc
    font-size: 1.5em
    background: #000
}

Nested selectors

Rather than constructing long selector names to specify inheritance, you can simply nest selectors inside other selectors.

// Pass
line_height = 16px
.menu
  margin-bottom line_height/2
  -item
    float left
    color #fff
    :visited
      color #eee
    _active
    :hover
      color #ccc
  span
    background-color #ccc
/* Compiled CSS */
.menu {
    margin-bottom 8px
}
.menu-item {
    float left
    color #fff
}
.menu-item:visited {
    color #eee
}
.menu-item_active, .menu-item:hover {
   color #ccc
}
.menu span {
    background-color #ccc
}

Selector inheritance

Class naming scheme:

         block-[element]
[child_]parent-[[parent]_child]
// Pass
._foo
  pass

.foo
  pass

.сhild_foo
  pass

.new_child_foo
  pass

.bar
  -link
    pass
    _acive
      pass
/* Compiled CSS */
._foo,.foo,.сhild_foo,.new_child_foo{}
.foo{}
.child_foo,.new_child_foo{}
.new_child_foo{}






.bar-link,bar-link_active{}
bar-link_active{}

Parent directive

Usage:

@parent "style.pass"
