{"library":"sass-middleware","type":"library","category":null,"description":"This package provides Connect/Express middleware for compiling SASS files on the fly. It is an extremely old package, with its last known release being version 0.0.3, published over a decade ago. Crucially, it relies on the `sass` Ruby gem for compilation, which is now considered deprecated and superseded by Dart Sass (the official `sass` npm package). Due to its age and dependency on an outdated, external compiler (Ruby Sass), `sass-middleware` is abandoned and incompatible with modern Node.js environments and contemporary Express/Connect applications. Developers should instead integrate modern build tools (e.g., Webpack, Vite, Gulp) with Dart Sass for static compilation, or explore direct usage of the `sass` npm package API for programmatic compilation within a build process. The `node-sass-middleware` package, while also deprecated due to its reliance on `node-sass` (LibSass), is a more recent alternative that still faced similar end-of-life issues. This package offers no current release cadence and no active development, making it unsuitable for any new or existing projects.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"0.0.3","tags":["javascript","connect","express","sass","scss","middleware"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install sass-middleware","imports":["const sassMiddleware = require('sass-middleware');","app.use(require('sass-middleware')({\n  src: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),\n  dest: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),\n  debug: true\n}));"]},{"cmd":"yarn add sass-middleware","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add sass-middleware","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":null,"docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass-middleware","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/sass-middleware/compatibility"},"provenance":{"verified_status":null,"verified_at":null,"last_verified":"Wed Jun 17","next_check":"Wed Jul 22","install_tag":null}}
