The Sass migrator automatically updates your Sass files to help you move on to
the latest and greatest version of the language. Each of its commands migrates
a single feature, to give you as much control as possible over what you update
and when.

## Usage
To use the Sass migrator, tell it [which migration][] you want to run and what
Sass files you want to migrate:
[which migration]: #migrations
```
sass-migrator <migration> <entrypoint.scss...>
```
By default, the migrator will only change files that you explicitly pass on the
command line. Passing the [`--migrate-deps` option][] tells the migrator to also
change all the stylesheets that are loaded using the [`@use` rule][],
[`@forward` rule][], or [`@import` rule][]. And if you want to do a test run to
see what changes will be made without actually saving them, you can pass
<code>[--dry-run][] [--verbose][]</code> (or `-nv` for short).
[`--migrate-deps` option]: #migrate-deps
[`@use` rule]: ../at-rules/use
[`@forward` rule]: ../at-rules/forward
[`@import` rule]: ../at-rules/import
[--dry-run]: #dry-run
[--verbose]: #verbose
<%= partial 'code-snippets/example-module-migrator' %>
## Installation
You can install the Sass migrator from most of the same places that you can
install [Dart Sass](/dart-sass):
### Standalone
You can install the Sass migrator on Windows, Mac, or Linux by downloading the
package for your operating system [from GitHub][] and [adding it to your
`PATH`][].
[from GitHub]: <%= release_url(:migrator) %>
[adding it to your `PATH`]: https://katiek2.github.io/path-doc/
### npm
If you use Node.js, you can also install the Sass migrator using [npm][] by
running
[npm]: https://www.npmjs.com
```
npm install -g sass-migrator
```
### Chocolatey
If you use [the Chocolatey package manager][] for Windows, you can install the
Sass migrator by running
[the Chocolatey package manager]: https://chocolatey.org
```
choco install sass-migrator
```
### Homebrew
If you use [the Homebrew package manager][] for Mac OS X, you can install Dart
Sass by running
[the Homebrew package manager]: https://brew.sh
```
brew install sass/sass/migrator
```
## Global Options
These options are available for all migrators.
### `--migrate-deps`
This option (abbreviated `-d`) tells the migrator to change not just the
stylesheets that are explicitly passed on the command line, but also any
stylesheets that they depend on using the [`@use` rule][], [`@forward` rule][],
or [`@import` rule][].
```shellsession
$ sass-migrator module --verbose style.scss
Migrating style.scss
$ sass-migrator module --verbose --migrate-deps style.scss
Migrating style.scss
Migrating _theme.scss
Migrating _fonts.scss
Migrating _grid.scss
```
### `--dry-run`
This flag (abbreviated `-n`) tells the migrator not to save any changes to
disk. It instead prints the list of files that it would have changed. This is
commonly paired with the [`--verbose` option][] to print the contents of the
changes that would have been made as well.
[`--verbose` option]: #verbose
```shellsession
$ sass-migrator module --dry-run --migrate-deps style.scss
Dry run. Logging migrated files instead of overwriting...
style.scss
_theme.scss
_fonts.scss
_grid.scss
```
#### `--no-unicode`
This flag tells the Sass migrator only to emit ASCII characters to the terminal
as part of error messages. By default, or if `--unicode` is passed, the migrator
will emit non-ASCII characters for these messages. This flag does not affect the
CSS output.
```shellsession
$ sass-migrator --no-unicode module style.scss
line 1, column 9 of style.scss: Error: Could not find Sass file at 'typography'.
,
1 | @import "typography";
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^
'
Migration failed!
$ sass-migrator --unicode module style.scss
line 1, column 9 of style.scss: Error: Could not find Sass file at 'typography'.
1 │ @import "typography";
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Migration failed!
```
### `--verbose`
This flag (abbreviated `-v`) tells the migrator to print extra information to
the console. By default, it just prints the name of files that are changed, but
when combined with the [`--dry-run` option][] it also prints those files' new
contents.
[`--dry-run` option]: #dry-run
<%# Indent this because otherwise the table-of-contents generator interprets
the `===` as a heading. %>
$ sass-migrator module --verbose --dry-run style.scss
Dry run. Logging migrated files instead of overwriting...
style.scss
================================================================================
@use "bootstrap" with (
$body-bg: #000,
$body-color: #111
);
@include bootstrap.media-breakpoint-up(sm) {
.navbar {
display: block;
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sass-migrator module --verbose style.scss
Migrating style.scss
## Migrations
The migrator currently supports only one migration, but expect more to come as
the Sass language continues to evolve!
### Module
This migration converts stylesheets that use the old [`@import` rule][] to load
dependencies so that they use the Sass module system via the [`@use` rule][]
instead. It doesn't just naïvely change `@import`s to `@use`s—it updates
stylesheets intelligently so that they keep working the same way they did
before, including:
* Adding namespaces to uses of members (variables, mixins, and functions) from
other modules.
* Adding new `@use` rules to stylesheets that were using members without
importing them.
* Converting overridden default variables to [`with` clauses][].
[`with` clauses]: ../at-rules/use#configuring-modules
* Automatically removing `-` and `_` prefixes from members that are used from
other files (because otherwise they'd be considered [private][] and could only
be used in the module they're declared).
[private]: ../at-rules/use#private-members
* Converting [nested imports][] to use the [`meta.load-css()` mixin][] instead.
[nested imports]: ../at-rules/import#nesting
[`meta.load-css()` mixin]: ../modules/meta#load-css
<% heads_up do %>
Because the module migrator may need to modify both member definitions *and*
member names, it's important to either run it with the [`--migrate-deps`
option][] or ensure that you pass it all the stylesheets in your package or
application.
[`--migrate-deps` option]: #migrate-deps
<% end %>
<%= partial 'code-snippets/example-module-migrator' %>
#### `--remove-prefix`
This option (abbreviated `-p`) takes an identifier prefix to remove from the
beginning of all variable, mixin, and function names when they're migrated.
Members that don't start with this prefix will remain unchanged.
The [`@import` rule][] put all top-level members in one global scope, so when it
was the standard way of loading stylesheets, everyone was incentivized to add
prefixes to all their member names to avoid accidentally redefining some other
stylesheet's. The module system solves this problem, so it's useful to
automatically strip those old prefixes now that they're unnecessary.
```shellsession
$ cat style.scss
@import "theme";
@mixin app-inverted {
color: $app-bg-color;
background-color: $app-color;
}
$ sass-migrator --migrate-deps module --remove-prefix=app- style.scss
$ cat style.scss
@import "theme";
@mixin inverted {
color: theme.$bg-color;
background-color: theme.$color;
}
```

When you pass this option, the migrator will also generate an [import-only
stylesheet][] that [forwards][] all the members with the prefix added back, to
preserve backwards-compatibility for users who were importing the library.
[import-only stylesheet]: ../at-rules/import#import-only-files
2019-10-01 23:57:25 +02:00
[forwards]: ../at-rules/forward
2019-10-01 23:43:21 +02:00
2019-09-25 15:24:50 +02:00
#### `--forward`
This option tells the migrator which members to forward using the [`@forward`
rule][]. It supports the following settings:
* `none` (the default) doesn't forward any members.
* `all` forwards all members except those that started with `-` or `_` in the
original stylesheet, since that was commonly used to mark a package-private
member before the module system was introduced.
* `prefixed` forwards only members that begin with the prefix passed to the
[`--remove-prefix` option][]. This option may only be used in conjunction with
the `--remove-prefix` option.
[`--remove-prefix` option]: #remove-prefix
All files that are passed explicitly on the command line will forward members
that are transitively loaded by those files using the `@import` rule. Files
loaded using the [`--migrate-deps` option][] will not forward any new members.
This option is particularly useful when migrating a Sass library, because it
ensures that users of that library will still be able to access all the members
it defines.
```shellsession
$ cat _index.scss
@import "theme";
@import "typography";
@import "components";
$ sass-migrator --migrate-deps module --forward=all style.scss
$ cat _index.scss
@forward "theme";
@forward "typography";
@forward "components/button";
@forward "components/nav";
@forward "components/drawer";
```
