The Sass Archive Importer allows you to import CSS, Sass, and SCSS files from a zip or jar file without unpacking it.

This importer works with the standard filesystem based import syntax, allowing you to import from a folder or archive file with the same code. This allows you to develop against an unpacked version of a library but also compile the stylesheets against a pre-built archive file (for example, during a build process).

$ gem install --pre sass-archive-importer

$ sass -r sass-archive-importer -I path/to/archive.zip --watch sass_dir:css_dir

Note: several -r options can be given to the sass command line if you need to require several libraries. Several -I options can be passed if you need to import more than one zip or jar file.

Add the following to your compass configuration:

require 'sass-archive-importer'
# Note: you can call add_import_path more than once.
add_import_path File.expand_path("path/to/archive.zip", File.dirname(__FILE__))
add_import_path File.expand_path("path/to/archive.jar", File.dirname(__FILE__))
