Is it possible to use SASS instead of LESS to add styles to a poer bi custom visual?
I already have some code ready that is written in SASS and would like to avoid maintaining two versions.
Thanks.
I was able to pull it off by first running `npm install sass-loader sass --save-dev`.
Then I changed my webpack.config.js file (it was located in `%APPDATA%/npm/node_modules/powerbi-visuals-tools/lib/webpack.config.js) to say this in the module section about less:
{
test: /(\.s[ac]ss)|(\.css)$/i,
use: [
{
loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader
},
{
loader: require.resolve('css-loader')
},
"sass-loader",
]
},
or
{
test: /(\.s[ac]ss)|(\.css)$/i,
use: [
{
loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader
},
{
loader: require.resolve('css-loader')
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
options: {
// Prefer Dart Sass
implementation: require('sass'),
// See https://github.com/webpack-contrib/sass-loader/issues/804
webpackImporter: false,
sassOptions: {
includePaths: ['./node_modules']
},
}
}
]
},
Make sure you also replace the section in your `visual.ts` file where it imports `import "./../style/visual.less";` to `
This should be integrated from by the Power BI team.
I find it a bit risky to change a package. As this is an open source repo (is it, really?), you may want to create a PR.
The solution I opted for the moment is to pre-process the CSS with webpack before I use `pbiviz start`.
Disadvantage: I have to call this each time I make changes to the SCSS files, which fortunately is rare.
I want to do this too
