How to Enable SCSS with Vue.js Single File Components

How to Enable SCSS with Vue.js Single File Components

Learn how to use SCSS in your Vue.js components for enhanced styling.

When working with Vue.js, you have the option to enable CSS preprocessors like SCSS using the Vue CLI. To enable SCSS, follow these steps:

  1. Install the Vue CLI if you haven’t already.
  2. Open the Vue CLI and enable the “CSS Preprocessors” option.
  3. Choose SCSS as your preferred preprocessor.

Vue CLI

In case you’re working on a project that’s not based on Vue CLI or if you didn’t add CSS preprocessor support when initializing the project using Vue CLI, you can add it later by performing the following steps:

  1. Open your command prompt and navigate to your project directory.
  2. Run the following command:
    1
    npm install --save-dev node-sass sass-loader

Once you have enabled SCSS support, you can start using SCSS in your Vue.js single file components. To do this, open your component file and follow these steps:

  1. Inside the <style> block of your component, set the lang attribute to “scss”.

    1
    2
    <style lang="scss">
    </style>

  2. Add your SCSS code within the <style> block.

If you prefer to keep your SCSS code in an external file, you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Create an external SCSS file, e.g., style.scss, and write your SCSS code in it.

    4
    // style.scss
    .my-component {
      color: red;
    }

  2. In the <script> section of your component, import the SCSS file using the relative path.

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    <script>
    import '../public/style.scss'

    //...
    </script>

By following these steps, you can leverage the power of SCSS in your Vue.js Single File Components for more efficient and maintainable styling.
