use css & scss inside component files about express-vue

[danielcherubini]

I haven't got around to enabling this.. it is currently in progress..

I hope to have it done next week

[danielcherubini]

sorry a few critical bugs cropped up, so I had to deal with those first before working on this..

it is coming soon sorry for the wait :(

[danielcherubini]

I've been thinking a lot on this the last few weeks, but implementation time is hard to find so firstly sorry.

Secondly. I've got some sad news. I won't be supporting anything other than CSS. Why? Because this whole library is a runtime library. SCSS/LESS/SASS. Any of them require another library to transpile them on the fly to CSS.

That has overhead.

As such I'm working on a way to create a method to use this at runtime during dev, and then have a build method which would output pure JavaScript files with the HTML and CSS inside them. Which could then be used directly and not have to be rendered at runtime. Potentially cutting things down a lot.

So you get two choices. CSS now or wait for the new experimental rewrite and build system...

Ok i need some time to put it together.. but shouldn't take long.. i'll try to put some time aside this week coming..

Hi! So, what about usage styles inside component? It will be a good progress. At now only data can passed to the page.

Any way we can help get this along? Thanks for all your hard work btw. ❤️

I personally would prefer to wait. But I also see the value of getting plane css in there now.

I'd vote for css now.
@ruslankonev what do you think? Is not having lang support (other than css) a big deal?

We can add link elements to the template portion of our components, and also get styles by doing vue-head style meta management, so it's not like we're living without css.

I will likely just add a simple build step to compile scss into css so my components load in the compiled css. The build can happen on save with gulp or webpack or whatever else.

Make sure this is documented though. It almost appears that style blocks are supported because of the layout example.

I would vote for plane CSS, but if you decide to wait for all-in solution, it will be totally ok.
