![]() Prepros provides a very user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) to compile your Sass automatically, along with some extra features like minification and automatic auto-prefixing. But I grew weary of this for reasons discussed below (any user of Prepros will know where I’m coming from). A number of tools exist to make this easy - in my personal experience, I was taught to use Prepros to easily compile my Sass. However, as browsers do not support Sass syntax, this comes with some more complicated concepts, like compiling your Sass to browser-readable CSS. Also, this article assumes the user knows basic commands for navigating folders and directories in the command line - if not, look into “pwd”, “cd”, and “ls”. In this article, I will be using “Sass” to include both Sass and SCSS - the two terms refer to syntax patterns and for our purposes are essentially interchangeable.Īn aside - I’m a Mac user, but these instructions should work for both Mac and PC. Sass, and other CSS preprocessors, can allow you to speed up writing code, and can give you a taste for the type of logic used in JavaScript to build functionality by writing functions, conditionals, and loops to output the CSS that you want. For those interested in learning to build websites, or those starting their journey to become front-end developers, learning Sass or SCSS can be an exciting step.
