Let&#8217;s see how to do it.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Using sass-convert<\/h2>\n<p>The Sass Ruby Gem ships with a <code>sass-convert<\/code> executable. Its quite funny that many people still do not know about it or get confused thinking that its for SCSS -&gt; Sass and Sass -&gt; SCSS conversion. Well, after all SCSS is CSS, right ?<\/p>\n<p>This command will help you convert your CSS code to Sass or SCSS:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\nsass-convert style.css style.sass\r\nsass-convert style.css style.scss\r\n<\/pre>\n<p><code>style.css<\/code> should be an existing CSS file, while <code>style.sass<\/code> and <code>style.scss<\/code> files will be generated if they don&#8217;t exist.<\/p>\n<h2>In Ruby Code<\/h2>\n<p>I quickly dig into the <code>sass<\/code> gem and tried to figure out what <code>sass-convert<\/code> basically does, so that one could also implement the exact same functionality in plain Ruby Code (it can be really useful sometimes). Here&#8217;s what I came up with:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: ruby; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\nrequire 'sass\/css'\r\n\r\n# CSS Code\r\ncss = %Q{\r\nbody {\r\n  color: red;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n\r\n# SASS\r\nputs ::Sass::CSS.new(css).render(:sass)\r\n# SCSS\r\nputs ::Sass::CSS.new(css).render(:scss)\r\n<\/pre>\n<h2>Downsides<\/h2>\n<p>If I am not wrong, I don&#8217;t think the conversion preserves any variables, mixins, inheritance, etc. Although nesting is added appropriately. So, the result might not be spot on always, but can still be a time saver sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wanted to make your own CSS2Sass convertor ?
