I'm in the process refactoring an Angular application and as I'm moving components around to new directory locations, I'm finding that dealing @import
paths in the components' SCSS files is getting a bit tedious.
For example, let's say I have the file src/_mixins.scss
in the root of my application and the component src/app/my-widget/my-widget.component.scss
imports the SCSS like so @import '../../mixins';
. All well and good.
But then I decide that my-widget.component
is really be a "shared component" under another component my-thingy.component
, so I create a shared
folder under src/app/my-thingy
and move everything that was in src/app/my-widget
into it.
I hope you're still with me... So, now I've got src/app/my-thingy/shared/my-widget
and I modify my SCSS file to import @import '../../../../mixins'
.
Note: This is a simplified example. Some of the paths get relatively deep (no pun intended... or was it?) and all of these .
and /
are a bit much.
TL;DR
It would be super-handy if from the start I could have just imported _mixins.scss
relative to the root in all of my components' SCSS files so I don't have to keep messing with the @import
paths when refactoring. (e.g. Something along the lines of @import '~/mixins'
). Does something like this exist?
What I've tried (and, sadly, has failed):
@import '~/mixins'; /** I had real hope for this one **/
@import 'mixins'; /** Just being overly optimistic here **/
@import '~//mixins'; /** Now I'm just making stuff up **/
I understand that I'm already going to have to modify my mod files to point to the new path of the component with all of this "moving stuff around", but... hey, one less thing, right?
"stylePreprocessorOptions"
option specifically.includePaths
in sassLoader plugin configuration.includePaths
to the sass plugin.Whatever your build tool is, sass will treat those paths as root, so you can import them directly, so with:
includePaths: ["anywhere/on/my/disk"]
you can just @import 'styles'
instead of @import 'anywhere/on/my/disk/styles'
.
