Including paths from a file

[techie014]

This is a feature request. Including multiple paths in the script really becomes uncomfortable. For example:

"build-css": "node-sass-chokidar --include-path node_modules --include-path node_modules/foundation-sites/scss src/ -o src/"

This can longer and longer. It happens because some libraries import their dependencies using absolute path. For example: foundation-sites provides a _settings.scss file which can be imported if I want to override basic stuffs like color, width, height etc. However, in that file some dependencies are imported like parent/module. So it throws an error.

So, my request is to introduce a way to include paths from a file (ex. .chokidarrc) in the node-sass-chokidar processing. Thus multiple paths can be easily included in the file without any hassle.

Note: Please, feel free to suggest me alternatives.

Having the same problem. I need to define one npm script entry for each SCSS file I need to compile, to avoid node-sass-chokidar to import also include files, like:

I have something like:

yarn run v1.7.0
$ node-sass-chokidar src/ -o src/
{
  "status": 1,
  "file": "D:/My/Folder/src/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/custom/_typography.scss",
  "line": 3,
  "column": 17,
  "message": "Undefined variable: \"$spacer\".",
  "formatted": "Error: Undefined variable: \"$spacer\".\n        on line 3 of src/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/custom/_typography.scss\n        from line 6 of src/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/custom.scss\n>>   padding-left: $spacer;\n\n   ----------------^\n"
}
error Command failed with exit code 1.

By default, node-sass-chokidar reads all the directories recursively and tries to compile each file, regardless of being just an import from other file.

Same issue here as well. I think it would be nice if it can support a wildcard like ./src/*.scss, that or add an option to make it non recursive.

Trying to add import-glob-loader2 to it might help with the wild-card import.

UPDATE!: (Solution):

Used: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass-glob-importer
updated my build-css to:

"build-css": "node-sass-chokidar --importer node_modules/node-sass-glob-importer/dist/cli.js --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules ./src/App.scss -o ./src",

Can now use:
@import "pages/**/*.scss";

in my scss files.

I'm for even just making the CL statement shorter like
node-sass-chokidar -p=path_1/,path_2/,path_3/ ...
or something.
