SCSS Watcher
============

[](#scss-watcher)

The SCSS Watcher is a PHP class that recursively monitors a directory for changed `.scss` files and generates `.css` versions. It requires a `sass` binary to be installed.

The CSS files are generated in `css` directories at the same level as the corresponding `scss` directory, e.g.:

```
/myproject/module1/scss/module1.scss
/myproject/module2/scss/module2.scss
=>
/myproject/module1/css/module1.css
/myproject/module2/css/module2.css

```

SCSS files with a leading `_` in the filename are treated as SCSS configuration files (e.g. for mixins). A change to a system file triggers a re-build of all CSS files.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Add the repository reference to your `composer.json`:

```
"require-dev": {
    "bnowack/scss-watcher": "1.0.0"
}

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Ideally, the SCSS Watcher is run from the command line. A script is provided:

```
php scripts/watch.php --path=/path/to/entry/directory

```

or (from your repository root):

```
php vendor/bnowack/scss-watcher/scripts/watch.php --path=src --bin=/usr/bin/sass

```

The "bin" parameter is optional. It can be used when auto-detection cannot find the sass binary. On Windows machines the command usually looks like this:

```
php vendor/bnowack/scss-watcher/scripts/watch.php --path=src --bin=C:\Ruby\bin\sass

```
