SCSS¶

If you want ImCMS to compile your *.scss files, do the following:

Create new file named client.config.js with following content in this directory: src/main/webapp

/**
 * Client configuration used by SCSS compiler. You have to declare relative
 * compiled files destination path. And also you have to declare input entries,
 * where key is output file name and value is relative path to the source file.
 *
 * @example
 *  module.exports = {
 *      entry: {
 *          main: './css/test.scss'
 *      },
 *      destination: 'dist-css'
 *  };
 *
 *  // Result files structure would be: './dist-css/main.css'
 */
module.exports = {
    entry: {
        main: './css/test.scss'
    },
    destination: 'dist-css'
};

Create some .scss file for test purposes, e.g. test.scss under css directory
Configuration have two parts (notice the comment inside client.config.js file):
- destination is the relative path to where all compiled css should be
- entry is key-value pairs, where key is the name of future file, and the value is the path to file that had to be compiled. All it’s dependencies (@import’s) will be bundled together
Configure it with paths and files you want to test

Add this code to maven:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>install webpack</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <executable>npm</executable>
                <workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</workingDirectory>
                <arguments>
                    <argument>install</argument>
                </arguments>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>build scss</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <executable>npm</executable>
                <workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</workingDirectory>
                <arguments>
                    <argument>run</argument>
                    <argument>build:scss</argument>
                </arguments>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

That’s all you need, on next package phase in maven scss will be compiled into css, check in maven destination directory. If something vent wrong, check here, I’ve managed it to work.

Also latest nodeJS+NPM is required to be installed on a machine where you want to use it!
