Under the hood details

This extension is actually quite simple in it's implementation. Partial files compile all files in your project and non-partials compile just themselves. By default partial files are those that start with an underscore "_" however, you can specify a location/glob pattern by changing the liveSassCompile.settings.partialsList setting (which defaults to ["/**/_*.s[ac]ss"])

Installation

Open VSCode Editor and Press ctrl+P, type ext install glenn2223.live-sass.

Our Open Source Commitment

The open source community is struggling! Open source maintainers spends countless unpaid hours supporting those using their project, they need some support back! This is why we have an Open Source Commitment.

Any monthly donations that we get - specifically referencing this project - will be shared with our dependencies (specified below). We support the packages that need it most, so we may not donate to all dependencies (often those developed/maintained by big enterprises). We can also only support the ones have a means of receiving donations.

Who should donate to this project?

• Those who use this product and receive some kind of profit as a result. Why not allocate a small margin to those supporting your project? This would mean the world to them, and you get some marketing out of it too thanks to GitHub's sponsors section on each project and profile
• Those with a little extra money that they wouldn't mind contributing to support the open source community

Who do you share with?

The packages I rely on for this project already have significant funding or are backed by large for-profit organisations
