Transpile Sass to CSS using the LibSass transpiler included in Hugo's extended edition, or [install Dart Sass](#dart-sass) to use the latest features of the Sass language.
Sass has two forms of syntax: [SCSS] and [indented]. Hugo supports both.
[scss]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#scss
[indented]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#the-indented-syntax
## Options
transpiler
: (`string`) The transpiler to use, either `libsass` (default) or `dartsass`. Hugo's extended edition includes the LibSass transpiler. To use the Dart Sass transpiler, see the [installation instructions](#dart-sass) below.
targetPath
: (`string`) If not set, the transformed resource's target path will be the original path of the asset file with its extension replaced by `.css`.
vars
: (`map`) A map of key-value pairs that will be available in the `hugo:vars` namespace. Useful for [initializing Sass variables from Hugo templates](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/42053/).
```scss
// LibSass
@import "hugo:vars";
// Dart Sass
@use "hugo:vars" as v;
```
outputStyle
: (`string`) Output styles available to LibSass include `nested` (default), `expanded`, `compact`, and `compressed`. Output styles available to Dart Sass include `expanded` (default) and `compressed`.
precision
: (`int`) Precision of floating point math. Not applicable to Dart Sass.
enableSourceMap
: (`bool`) If `true`, generates a source map.
sourceMapIncludeSources
: (`bool`) If `true`, embeds sources in the generated source map. Not applicable to LibSass.
includePaths
: (`slice`) A slice of paths, relative to the project root, that the transpiler will use when resolving `@use` and `@import` statements.
```go-html-template
{{ $opts := dict
"transpiler" "dartsass"
"targetPath" "css/style.css"
"vars" site.Params.styles
"enableSourceMap" (not hugo.IsProduction)
"includePaths" (slice "node_modules/bootstrap/scss")
}}
{{ with resources.Get "sass/main.scss" | toCSS $opts | minify | fingerprint }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ .Data.Integrity }}" crossorigin="anonymous">
{{ end }}
```
## Dart Sass
The extended version of Hugo includes [LibSass] to transpile Sass to CSS. In 2020, the Sass team deprecated LibSass in favor of [Dart Sass].
Use the latest features of the Sass language by installing Dart Sass in your development and production environments.
### Installation overview
Dart Sass is compatible with Hugo v0.114.0 and later.
If you have been using Embedded Dart Sass[^1] with Hugo v0.113.0 and earlier, uninstall Embedded Dart Sass, then install Dart Sass. If you have installed both, Hugo will use Dart Sass.
If you install Hugo as a [Snap package] there is no need to install Dart Sass. The Hugo Snap package includes Dart Sass.
[^1]: In 2023, the Sass team deprecated Embedded Dart Sass in favor of Dart Sass.
### Installing in a development environment
When you install Dart Sass somewhere in your PATH, Hugo will find it.
OS|Package manager|Site|Installation
:--|:--|:--|:--
Linux|Homebrew|[brew.sh]|`brew install sass/sass/sass`
Linux|Snap|[snapcraft.io]|`sudo snap install dart-sass`
macOS|Homebrew|[brew.sh]|`brew install sass/sass/sass`
Windows|Chocolatey|[chocolatey.org]|`choco install sass`
Windows|Scoop|[scoop.sh]|`scoop install sass`
You may also install [prebuilt binaries] for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Run `hugo env` to list the active transpilers.
### Installing in a production environment
For [CI/CD] deployments (e.g., GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Netlify, etc.) you must edit the workflow to install Dart Sass before Hugo builds the site[^2]. Some providers allow you to use one of the package managers above, or you can download and extract one of the prebuilt binaries.
[^2]: You do not have to do this if (a) you have not modified the assets cache location, and (b) you have not set `useResourceCacheWhen` to `never` in your [site configuration], and (c) you add and commit your resources directory to your repository.
#### GitHub Pages
To install Dart Sass for your builds on GitHub Pages, add this step to the GitHub Pages workflow file:
```yaml
- name: Install Dart Sass
run: sudo snap install dart-sass
```
If you are using GitHub Pages for the first time with your repository, GitHub provides a [starter workflow] for Hugo that includes Dart Sass. This is the simplest way to get started.
#### GitLab Pages
To install Dart Sass for your builds on GitLab Pages, the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file should look something like this:
```yaml
variables:
HUGO_VERSION: 0.128.0
DART_SASS_VERSION: 1.77.5
GIT_DEPTH: 0
GIT_STRATEGY: clone
GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
TZ: America/Los_Angeles
image:
name: golang:1.20-buster

script:
# Install Dart Sass
- curl -LJO https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/${DART_SASS_VERSION}/dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
- tar -xf dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
- cp -r dart-sass/* /usr/local/bin
- rm -rf dart-sass*
# Install Hugo
- curl -LJO https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION}/hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb
- apt install -y ./hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb
- rm hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb
# Build
- hugo --gc --minify
artifacts:
paths:
- public
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
```
#### Netlify
To install Dart Sass for your builds on Netlify, the `netlify.toml` file should look something like this:
```toml
[build.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = "0.128.0"
DART_SASS_VERSION = "1.77.5"
TZ = "America/Los_Angeles"
[build]
publish = "public"
command = """\
curl -LJO https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/${DART_SASS_VERSION}/dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz && \
tar -xf dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz && \
rm dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz && \
export PATH=/opt/build/repo/dart-sass:$PATH && \
hugo --gc --minify \
"""
```
### Example
To transpile with Dart Sass, set `transpiler` to `dartsass` in the options map passed to `resources.ToCSS`. For example:
```go-html-template
{{ with resources.Get "sass/main.scss" }}
{{ $opts := dict "transpiler" "dartsass" "targetPath" "css/style.css" }}
{{ with . | toCSS $opts }}
{{ if hugo.IsDevelopment }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">
{{ else }}
{{ with . | minify | fingerprint }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ .Data.Integrity }}" crossorigin="anonymous">
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
### Miscellaneous
If you build Hugo from source and run `mage test -v`, the test will fail if you install Dart Sass as a Snap package. This is due to the Snap package's strict confinement model.
