Sass for PHP

Sass for PHP is a PHP module that allows developers to use the Sass language in their PHP projects. Sass is a popular preprocessor for CSS that adds features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. By using Sass for PHP, developers can write cleaner and more maintainable CSS.

Features

Sass for PHP has the following features:

• Compile Sass code into CSS on-the-fly
• Use variables, nesting, and mixins in Sass
• Easily integrate with PHP projects using a simple API
• Support for importing external Sass files

How to Use

To use Sass for PHP, first you'll need to install it using a package manager such as Composer. Once installed, you can use the following code to compile a Sass file into CSS:

use ScssPhp\ScssPhp\Compiler;

$scss = new Compiler();
$css = $scss->compile('@import "path/to/styles.scss";');

echo $css;

Here, path/to/styles.scss is the path to your Sass file. The compile method takes the Sass code as input and returns the compiled CSS.

Examples

Variables

Sass allows you to use variables, which can help you write cleaner and more maintainable CSS. For example:

$primary-color: #007bff;

.button {
  background-color: $primary-color;
}

Compiles to:

.button {
  background-color: #007bff;
}

Nesting

Sass also allows you to nest selectors, which can help you write more concise and readable CSS. For example:

.container {
  .row {
    .column {
      width: 33.333%;
    }
  }
}

Compiles to:

.container .row .column {
  width: 33.333%;
}

Mixins

Sass allows you to define mixins, which are reusable blocks of CSS that can be included anywhere in your code. For example:

@mixin center {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.button {
  @include center;
}

Compiles to:

.button {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

Conclusion

Sass for PHP is a great tool for developers who want to use the Sass language in their PHP projects. It offers features such as variables, nesting, and mixins that can help you write cleaner and more maintainable CSS. With its simple API, Sass for PHP is easy to integrate with PHP projects.
