Using SCSS with Fresh

Hi, I'm starting to get into Fresh for building simple static websites. Right now I want to use my preferred tool, SASS(scss). Can I intergrate this directly with Fresh? Or do I need to do this separately?

I did try now this in the fersh.config:

import { defineConfig } from "$fresh/server.ts";
import { sassPlugin } from "npm:esbuild-sass-plugin@2.16.1";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [sassPlugin()],
});

import { defineConfig } from "$fresh/server.ts";
import { sassPlugin } from "npm:esbuild-sass-plugin@2.16.1";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [sassPlugin()],
});

Only without success

Hello! I wasn't able to find the answer to your question in the official Deno documentation. However, based on your message, there are no obvious syntax errors or mistakes. Fresh is designed to be a modern frontend framework, and while it has built-in support for some tools, SCSS integration isn't explicitly documented. Since I cannot provide a definitive answer based on the official documentation, I would recommend exploring the Fresh documentation and community resources to see if there's a recommended approach for integrating SCSS with Fresh. It's possible that you might need to process your SCSS files separately and then include the resulting CSS in your Fresh project. Please note that this advice is not based on the Deno documentation, and I advise you to double-check the accuracy of this advice and consult with the Fresh community or documentation for the most accurate guidance.

Thanks I think a found a workaround with the Fresh plugins.

You can compile SASS/SCSS ahead of time, but since Fresh doesn't transpile server code, importing those in javascript won't work

Fresh only uses esbuild to compile island code for browsers. All the other parts of Fresh are not passed through esbuild. Since we render islands also on the server, Deno will throw when it encounters a sass import. That's why adding the sass plugin to esbuild is not enough

Yea I created a plugin for the fresh config. Only can't reload on file change
