What's the difference between dart sass and gulp sass?


Asked by Brantley Martinez on Dec 11, 2021 Dart Code style guide



gulp-sass is a very light-weight wrapper around either Dart Sass or Node Sass (which in turn is a Node binding for LibSass). Because of this, the issue you're having likely isn't a gulp-sass issue, but an issue with one those projects or with Sass as a whole.
In respect to this,
What is the difference between Dart or Node Sass? Well, here we go as a side-note. Dart Sass may work slower and use more memory (it compiles pure JavaScript), however, it works better for cross-platform than Node-Sass. Plus, Node-Sass files take too long to be installed, which doesn't match little and simple prototypes or projects.
Next, Except for the data option which is used by gulp-dart-sass internally. Using the file option is also unsupported and results in undefined behaviour that may change without notice. gulp-dart-sass can be used in tandem with gulp-sourcemaps to generate source maps for the Sass to CSS compilation.
Thereof,
To add it to an existing project: Install the Dart SDK. Make sure its bin directory is on your PATH. Run pub get. Learn more about writing Dart code (it's easy!) and about Sass's Dart API. Dart Sass is also distributed as the pure JavaScript sass package on npm.
Also Know,
Dart Sass. Dart Sass is the primary implementation of Sass, which means it gets new features before any other implementation. It's fast, easy to install, and it compiles to pure JavaScript which makes it easy to integrate into modern web development workflows. Find out more or help out with its development on GitHub.
