The **scssphp/server** project provides an easy-to-use example that demonstrates how to automatically compile `scss` files and serve them from a directory that you specify. Create a file, like `style.php`: ``` use ScssPhp\Server\Server; $directory = "stylesheets"; $server = new Server($directory); $server->serve(); ``` Create the directory set in the script alongside the script, then add your `scss` files to it. By default, **scssphp** expects a `scss_cache` directory to exist inside the stylesheets directory where it will cache the compiled output. This way it can quickly serve the files if no modifications have been made. Your PHP script must have permission to write in `scss_cache`. Going to the URL `example.com/style.php/style.scss` will attempt to compile `style.scss` from the `stylesheets` directory, and serve it as CSS. If it can not find the file it will return an HTTP 404 page: ``` /* INPUT NOT FOUND scss v0.0.1 */ ``` If the file can't be compiled due to an error, then an HTTP 500 page is returned. Similar to the following: ``` Parse error: failed at 'height: ;' stylesheets/test.scss on line 8 ``` Also, because SCSS server writes headers, make sure no output is written before it runs. ### Constructor [](#constructor) Use the `Server` constructor to specify the cache directory and even the instance of the `Compiler` that is used to compile SCSS. - `new Server($sourceDir, $cacheDir, $scss)` creates a new server that serves files from `$sourceDir`. The cache dir is where the cached compiled files are placed. When `null`, `$sourceDir . '/scss_cache'` is used. `$scss`is the instance of `scss` that is used to compile. Just call the `serve` method to let it render its output. Here's an example of creating a SCSS server that outputs compressed CSS: ``` use ScssPhp\ScssPhp\Compiler; use ScssPhp\Server\Server; $scss = new Compiler(); $scss->setOutputStyle(\ScssPhp\ScssPhp\OutputStyle::COMPRESSED); $server = new Server('stylesheets', null, $scss); $server->serve(); ``` ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 81% of packages Maintenance14 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity40 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
