Connect/Express middleware for node-sass.
npm install node-sass-middleware
Recompile .scss
or .sass
files automatically for connect and express based http servers.
const connect = require('connect')
const sassMiddleware = require('node-sass-middleware')
const server = connect.createServer(
sassMiddleware({
/* Options */
src: __dirname
, dest: __dirname + '/public'
, debug: true
, outputStyle: 'compressed'
, prefix: '/prefix' // Where prefix is at <link rel="stylesheets" href="prefix/style.css"/>
}),
connect.static('/prefix', __dirname + '/public')
);
There is an example connect app here: https://github.com/andrew/node-sass-example
Heavily inspired by https://github.com/LearnBoost/stylus
const express = require('express');
const sassMiddleware = require('node-sass-middleware');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
app.use(sassMiddleware({
/* Options */
src: __dirname,
dest: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
debug: true,
outputStyle: 'compressed',
prefix: '/prefix' // Where prefix is at <link rel="stylesheets" href="prefix/style.css"/>
}));
// Note: you must place sass-middleware *before* `express.static` or else it will
// not work.
app.use('/public', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
const connect = require('connect');
const sassMiddleware = require('node-sass-middleware');
const postcssMiddleware = require('postcss-middleware');
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
const path = require('path');
const http = require('http');
const app = connect();
const destPath = __dirname + '/public';
app.use(sassMiddleware({
/* Options */
src: __dirname
, response: false
, dest: destPath
, outputStyle: 'extended'
}));
app.use(postcssMiddleware({
plugins: [
/* Plugins */
autoprefixer({
/* Options */
})
],
src: function(req) {
return path.join(destPath, req.url);
}
}));
http.createServer(app).listen(3000);
src
- (String) Source directory used to find.scss
or.sass
files.
-
beepOnError
- Enable beep on error, false by default. -
debug
-[true | false]
, false by default. Output debugging information. -
dest
- (String) Destination directory used to output.css
files (when undefined defaults tosrc
). -
error
- A function to be called when something goes wrong. -
force
-[true | false]
, false by default. Always re-compile. -
indentedSyntax
-[true | false]
, false by default. If true compiles files with the.sass
extension instead of.scss
in thesrc
directory. -
log
-function(severity, key, val, message)
, used to log data instead of the defaultconsole.error
. "severity" matches Winston severity levels. -
maxAge
- MaxAge to be passed in Cache-Control header. -
prefix
- (String) It will tell the sass middleware that any request file will always be prefixed with<prefix>
and this prefix should be ignored. -
response
-[true | false]
, true by default. To write output directly to response instead of to a file. -
root
- (String) A base path for both source and destination directories.For full list of options from original node-sass project go here.
const express = require('express');
const sassMiddleware = require('node-sass-middleware');

const winston = require('winston');
const app = express();
winston.level = 'debug';
app.use(sassMiddleware({
/* Options */
src: __dirname,
dest: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
debug: true,
log: function (severity, key, value) { winston.log(severity, 'node-sass-middleware %s : %s', key, value); }
}));
// Note: you must place sass-middleware *before* `express.static` or else it will
// not work.
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
