SassyExport

SassyExport is a lightweight plugin for SassyJSON that allows you to export an encoded Sass map into an external JSON file. Use it anyway you like.

Installation

  1. gem install SassyExport
  2. Add require "SassyExport" to your config.rb
  3. Import into your stylesheet with @import "SassyExport";

Documentation

Setup

// ./sass/SassyExport.scss

@mixin json_export($path, $filename, $map) {
    @at-root {
        %json_export {
            content: "#{SassyJSON_export(unquote($path), unquote($filename), unquote(json_encode($map)))}";
        }
    }
}

// ./sass/style.scss

@import "SassyExport";

$map: (
    hello: world,
);

@include json_export("../json", "hello", $map);

Result

New JSON file is created in ./json/hello.json

{"hello": "world"}

The json_export() mixin takes a directory $path, $filename, and a Sass $map as arguments. It then converts the $map into a JSON map with SassyJSON's json_encode() function, then Ruby creates a new file (or updates an existing file), and writes the contents of the json string to it. I'm no Ruby expert, so if you belive that you could improve the small amount of code here, feel free to.

Enjoy.
