Exciting news, Sass fans! After a year of development and some iteration on the
|
|
|
|
|
spec, we're ready to launch a beta preview of the new Sass module system! We may
|
|
|
|
|
still make a few last-minute tweaks based on user feedback, so don't go using
|
|
|
|
|
itin production just yet, but please do take this opportunity to play around
|
|
|
|
|
with it and let us know what you think.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Preview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preview release is available on all the normal distribution channels as
|
|
|
|
|
version `1.23.0-module.beta.1`. You can download it from the [GitHub release
|
|
|
|
|
page](https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/tag/1.23.0-module.beta.1), or
|
|
|
|
|
install it using one of the following commands (depending on your preferred
|
|
|
|
|
installation channel):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shellsession
|
|
|
|
|
$ npm install --save-dev sass@1.23.0-module.beta.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ npm install -g sass@1.23.0-module.beta.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ brew install sass/sass/sass@1.23.0-module.beta.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ choco install sass --version 1.23.0.modulebeta-1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ pub global activate sass 1.23.0-module.beta.1
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that 1.23.0 may not *actually* be the final version number for the stable
|
|
|
|
|
module system release, it's just the next minor version number in Dart Sass's
|
|
|
|
|
release series.

## How to Use the Module System
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The original [summary of the module
|
|
|
|
|
system](/blog/request-for-comments-module-system-proposal) is still a great way
|
|
|
|
|
to learn how it works. You can also check out the [official

|
|
proposal](https://github.com/sass/sass/blob/main/accepted/module-system.md)
|
2019-11-13 03:21:51 +01:00
|
|
|
for a much more detailed dive into its behavior.

## Sending Feedback
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have opinions on the module system, please [file an issue on
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub](https://github.com/sass/language/issues/new) or just [tweet at
|
|
|
|
|
@SassCSS](https://twitter.com/SassCSS). We'll take anything from "it looks
|
|
|
|
|
awesome" to "it looks awful", although the more specific you can be the more
|
|
|
|
|
information we have to work with!
