esbuild-plugin-sass

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

esbuild plugin for compiling Sass/SCSS files. v1.0.1 (no further updates since 2021). Integrates the node-sass or dart-sass compiler into esbuild's build pipeline. Supports custom Sass options (except file). Differentiates from alternatives like esbuild-sass-plugin by its minimal API and lack of active maintenance. Only peer dependency is esbuild >=0.11.14. Ships TypeScript types.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Package is ESM-only as of v1.0.1; require() will fail unless using dynamic import or a bundler that can handle ESM.

import sassPlugin from 'esbuild-plugin-sass'

Options is a TypeScript type, not a runtime export.

import type { Options } from 'esbuild-plugin-sass'

In CJS, the default export is accessed via .default due to ESM compatibility.

const sassPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-sass').default

Shows how to integrate Sass compilation into an esbuild build script using the plugin.

import esbuild from 'esbuild'; import sassPlugin from 'esbuild-plugin-sass'; await esbuild.build({ entryPoints: ['src/index.js'], bundle: true, outfile: 'bundle.js', plugins: [sassPlugin()], }); // src/index.js: import './style.scss';

Debug

Known footguns

deprecatedPackage appears unmaintained since 2021; no updates for esbuild v0.12+ changes.

gotchaRequires esbuild >=0.11.14. Using an older version will fail.

gotchaDoes not support esbuild's loader option for CSS; generates separate CSS file (does not inline into JS).

gotchaAssumes sass (dart-sass) is installed; does not work with node-sass by default.
