SCSS doesn’t work

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 19.2021

Hello. I have placed these three files into the same folder on a local harddrive, and it doesn’t work.

https://www.w3schools.com/sass/showsass.php?filename=demo_sass_first

There is no reference in the mypage.htm nor in the mystyle.css about the existence of the mystyle.scss file. If I change the value of the variable $bgcolor in the style.scss file to red, it does not influence the mypage.htm background color.

How to make it work? Thank you.

@SempervivumJul 19.2021 — An scss file cannot be included directly in a HTML file. It needs some preprocessing converting it to normal CSS:

I started dealing with scss some time ago but didn't find a significant benefit in using it, as the additional features, e. g. loops, were limited. Therefore I didn't dive into further.

@codewitchauthorJul 19.2021 — Hello Sempervivum. Thank you for your reply.

Indeed, there is a need for some **transpiler** to process the code and convet it into an css code.

I find it useful for define a single color that is used repeatedly and can be saved as a content of a variable, but otherwise I also fail to see the benefits of SASS.

That's possible without SCSS:

<i>
</i>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;style&gt;
:root {
--my-color-1: green;
--my-color-2: blue; <br/>
}

.myclass1{color: var(--my-color-1);}

.myclass2{color: var(--my-color-2);}


&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;div class=myclass1&gt;hey I am a cool text in green&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=myclass2&gt;hey I am a cool text in blue&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
