This package is a distribution of [Dart Sass][], compiled to pure JavaScript
with no native code or external dependencies. It provides a command-line `sass`
executable and a Node.js API.

* [See Also](#see-also)
* [Behavioral Differences from Ruby Sass](#behavioral-differences-from-ruby-sass)
## Usage
You can install Sass globally using `npm install -g sass` which will provide
access to the `sass` executable. You can also add it to your project using
`npm install --save-dev sass`. This provides the executable as well as a
library:
[npm]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass
```js
var sass = require('sass');
sass.render({file: scss_filename}, function(err, result) { /* ... */ });
// OR
var result = sass.renderSync({file: scss_filename});
```
[See below](#api) for details on Dart Sass's JavaScript API.
## API
<!-- #include ../README.md "JavaScript API" -->
## See Also
* [Dart Sass][], from which this package is compiled, can be used either as a
stand-alone executable or as a Dart library. Running Dart Sass on the Dart VM
is substantially faster than running the pure JavaScript version, so this may
be appropriate for performance-sensitive applications. The Dart API is also
(currently) more user-friendly than the JavaScript API. See
[the Dart Sass README][Using Dart Sass] for details on how to use it.
* [Node Sass][], which is a wrapper around [LibSass][], the C++ implementation
of Sass. Node Sass supports the same API as this package and is also faster
(although it's usually a little slower than Dart Sass). However, it requires a
native library which may be difficult to install, and it's generally slower to
add features and fix bugs.
