WrappersWrappers permalink

LibSass is just a library. To run the code locally (i.e. to compile yourstylesheets), you need an implementer, or "wrapper". There are a number of otherwrappers for LibSass. We encourage you to write your own wrapper — the wholepoint of LibSass is that we want to bring Sass to many other languages, not just Ruby!

Below are the LibSass wrappers that we’re currently aware of. Sometimes thereare multiple wrappers per language – in those cases, we put the mostrecently-updated wrapper first.

• Sass C

  SassC (get it?) is a wrapper written in C.

  To run the compiler on your local machine, you need to build SassC. To buildSassC, you must have either a local copy of the LibSass source or it must beinstalled into your system. For development, please use the source version.You must then setup an environment variable pointing to the LibSass folder,for example:

  export SASS_LIBSASS_PATH=/Users/hampton/path/libsass

  The executable will be in the bin folder. To run it, try something like:

  ./bin/sassc [input file] > output.css

• Crystal

  sass.cr is a LibSass wrapper fortheCrystal programming language.

• Go

  go-libsass has the most activeGoLang wrapper.gosass is another LibSass wrapper.

  C6 is a Sass 3.2 compatible implementationwritten in pure GoLang that aims to extend Sass.wellington/sass is an in-progress pureGo Sass lexer, parser, and compiler.

• Java

  There is one Java wrapper —jsass. There isalso a plugin for Maven —LibSass Maven plugin.
