Themes and theme components are becoming steadily more powerful, and developers are getting more and more ambitious. To make things easier for developers, themes can now split their SCSS into multiple files.
When creating a new theme with the theme CLI, or sharing a theme on github, simply create a new folder called scss
. Fill it with your .scss
files, following any folder structure, and all the files will be available for you to import in the common / desktop / mobile SCSS sections of your theme.
For example, if you want to have a common variable available to both mobile and desktop SCSS, you could do something like this:
scss/myfolder/variables.scss
$favourite-color = red;
desktop/desktop.scss
@import "myfolder/variables";
body {
background-color: $favourite-color;
}
mobile/mobile.scss
@import "myfolder/variables";
body {
color: $favourite-color;
}
This feature was added in v2.3.0.beta8
, so do not use these features quite yet if you need to maintain backwards compatibility with older versions of Discourse. You can use the minimum_discourse_version
parameter of about.json
to ensure your component doesn’t get used on an earlier version.
