PyPI

A CLI to compile/minify SCSS & JS, and associated pre-commit hook.

This CLI is a small wrapper around libsass-python, rJSmin and jinja2, which also aims to be compatible with pre-commit, and provide a pre-commit hook.

NOTE: The package in on alpha release, but looks to be working as intended, and will be trialled in sphinx-panels, and then sphinx-book-theme.

Installation

To use directly as a CLI:

pip install web-compile
web-compile --help

To use via pre-commit:

Add to your .pre-commit-config.yaml

-   repo: https://github.com/executablebooks/web-compile
    rev: v0.2.0
    hooks:
      - id: web-compile
        # optional
        args: [--config=config.yml]
        files: >-
            (?x)^(
                web-compile-config.yml|
                src/.*|
                dist/.*
            )$

By default, the hook will be initiated for all text file changes. But it is advisable to constrain this to the known configuration file, and input/output folders.

Configuration

You can can configure the compilation directly via the CLI or using a configuration file; simply replace - with _, CLI takes priority over the file:

$ web-compile --help
Usage: web-compile [OPTIONS]

Usage

SCSS Compilation

Simply map a source SCSS file to an output CSS filename.Paths should be relative to the configuration files and @import \ @useed partial files will also be read:

web-compile:
  sass:
    files:
      src/file.scss: dist/file.css
$ web-compile
src/
    _partial.scss
    file.scss
dist/
    file.css

If you use the sourcemap option, then a sourcemap will also be output, and a sourceMappingURL comment added to the CSS:

web-compile:
  sass:
    files:
      src/file.scss: dist/file.css
    sourcemap: true
$ web-compile
dist/
    file.css
    file.scss.map.json

If you add [hash] to the CSS filename, then it will be replaced with the content hash. Also, any existing files, matching the pattern, with a different hash will be removed:

web-compile:
  sass:
    files:
      src/file.scss: dist/file.[hash].css
$ web-compile
dist/
    file.beabd761a3703567b4ce06c9a6adde55.css

JavaScript

Javascript files are minified and are configured similarly to SCSS.

web-compile:
  js:
    files:
      src/file.js: dist/file.[hash].js
$ web-compile
dist/
    file.beabd761a3703567b4ce06c9a6adde55.js

Jinja Templates

Files can be created from Jinja templates. These are created after the SCSS and JS files are compiled. In addition, they may be combined with two Jinja filters designed for this tool:

  • compiled_name will convert an input file path to the compiled file name.
  • hash will return the hash for a filename that can be inserted wherever you wish.

src/file.j2:

{{ "src/file.scss" | compiled_name }}
{{ "src/file.scss" | compiled_name }}?digest={{ "src/file.scss" | hash }}
{{ var1 }}
web-compile:
  sass:
    files:
      src/file.scss: dist/file.[hash].css
  jinja:
    files:
      src/file.j2: dist/file.txt
    variables:
      var1: other
$ web-compile

dist/file.txt:

file.beabd761a3703567b4ce06c9a6adde55.css
file.beabd761a3703567b4ce06c9a6adde55.css?digest=beabd761a3703567b4ce06c9a6adde55
other

Development

To run the tests:

pip install tox
tox -e py37

To test out the CLI:

tox -e py37-cli

To test the pre-commit hook:

tox -e try-repo

For code style:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit run --all
