php - Sass with wordpress

Question

Does anyone know the best method for including sass into wordpress. I am trying to practice without a starter theme, but every online tutorial even in the last year, seem to be outdated and doesnt work. How do you include sass into your wordpress theme?

Answer 1

I use Gulp and the gulp-sass package inside a custom theme, but you can also include it in a plugin if you don't want to work inside a theme. Gulp is easy to set up if you have some experience installing npm packages:

I have a folder specifically for gulp with the sass files and folders in there. You can pipe the compiled css files anywhere in your plugin/theme. Wherever you need them to work. Then register the compiled files with wordpress hook:
