Build	NuGet Package	.NET Global Tool

Nuget Package

DartSassBuilder NuGet package adds a build task to compile Sass files to .css. It's compatible with both MSBuild (VS) and dotnet build.

No configuration is required, it will compile the files implicitly on project build.

• Optionally provide arguments (see Options below):

<PropertyGroup>
  
  <DartSassOutputStyle>compressed</DartSassOutputStyle>
  <DartSassOutputStyle Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">expanded</DartSassOutputStyle>
  
  <DartSassOutputLevel>verbose</DartSassOutputLevel>
  
  <DartSassMessageLevel>High</DartSassMessageLevel>
</PropertyGroup>

• Or take control of what files to process

<PropertyGroup>
  
  <EnableDefaultSassItems>false</EnableDefaultSassItems>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  
  <SassFile Include="Vendor/**/*.scss" />
  <SassFile Include="Styles/**/*.scss" Exclude="Styles/unused/**" />
</ItemGroup>

• Or ignore all previous options (except for <DartSassMessageLevel>) and determine the arguments to the tool yourself

<PropertyGroup>
  
  <DartSassBuilderArgs>directory "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)"</DartSassBuilderArgs>
  
  <DartSassMessageLevel>High</DartSassMessageLevel>
</PropertyGroup>
