Django template tags to compile SCSS into CSS

Django SCSS provides template tags to compile SCSS into CSS from templates. It works with both inline code and extenal files.

Installation

1. Add “django_scss” to INSTALLED_APPS setting.

2. Make sure that you have sass executable installed. See SASS official site for details.

3. 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.

Settings

LESS_EXECUTABLE

Path to SASS compiler executable. Default: “sass”.

SCSS_OUTPUT_DIR

Output directory for compiled external stylesheets. It’s relative to STATIC_ROOT. Default: "SCSS_CACHE".

SCSS_USE_CACHE

SCSS_CACHE_TIMEOUT

Cache timeout for inline styles (in seconds). Default: 30 days.
