CSS Preprocessors: Sass, LESS, etc.¶

Using Sass¶

To use the Sass pre-processor, install the dependencies:

1	$ yarn add --dev sass-loader node-sass

And enable it in webpack.config.js:

// webpack.config.js
// ...

Encore
    // ...
    .enableSassLoader()
;

That's it! All files ending in .sass or .scss will be pre-processed. You can also pass options to sass-loader:

// webpack.config.js
// ...

Encore
    // ...
    .enableSassLoader(function(options) {
        // https://github.com/sass/node-sass#options
        // options.includePaths = [...]
    });
;

Using LESS¶

To use the LESS pre-processor, install the dependencies:

1	$ yarn add --dev less-loader less

And enable it in webpack.config.js:

// webpack.config.js
// ...

Encore
    // ...
    .enableLessLoader()
;

That's it! All files ending in .less will be pre-processed. You can also pass options to less-loader:

// webpack.config.js
// ...

Encore
    // ...
    .enableLessLoader(function(options) {
        // https://github.com/webpack-contrib/less-loader#examples
        // http://lesscss.org/usage/#command-line-usage-options
        // options.relativeUrls = false;
    });
;
