Defined in:

Overview

The class handles .s[ca]ss file staleness checks via their mtime timestamps.

To speed things up two level of caches are employed:

  • A class-level dependency cache which stores @import paths for each file. This is a long-lived cache that is reused by every StalenessChecker instance.
  • Two short-lived instance-level caches, one for file mtimes and one for whether a file is stale during this particular run. These are only used by a single StalenessChecker instance.

Usage:

  • For a one-off staleness check of a single .s[ca]ss file, the class-level StalenessChecker.stylesheet_needs_update? method should be used.
  • For a series of staleness checks (e.g. checking all files for staleness) a StalenessChecker instance should be created, and the instance-level #stylesheet_needs_update? method should be used. the caches should make the whole process significantly faster. WARNING: It is important not to retain the instance for too long, as its instance-level caches are never explicitly expired.

def initialize
  @dependencies = self.class.dependencies_cache

  # Entries in the following instance-level caches are never explicitly expired.
  # Instead they are supposed to automaticaly go out of scope when a series of staleness checks
  # (this instance of StalenessChecker was created for) is finished.

Class Method Details

.stylesheet_needs_update?(css_file, template_file) ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether or not a given CSS file is out of date and needs to be regenerated.

The distinction between this method and the instance-level #stylesheet_needs_update? is that the instance method preserves mtime and stale-dependency caches, so it's better to use when checking multiple stylesheets at once.

Parameters:

  • css_file (String) —

    The location of the CSS file to check.

  • template_file (String) —

    The location of the Sass or SCSS template that is compiled to css_file.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Instance Method Details

#stylesheet_needs_update?(css_file, template_file) ⇒ Boolean

Parameters:

  • css_file (String) —

    The location of the CSS file to check.

  • template_file (String) —

    The location of the Sass or SCSS template that is compiled to css_file.

Returns:
