SCSS or SASS setup

I've read other posts where you mention that you'll provide SASS documentation, but you haven't provided any release dates. Meanwhile, I have to complete a project within a certain time frame and the support for CANVAS has a time limit. I don't understand why there's no documentation for SASS when there's some at least documentation for LESS. Your response to another user that SASS is for "experts" who program in Python or Ruby is frustrating and highly insulting. Your users deserve honest and clear answers as paying customers.

All that said, the style.scss appears to be a single file with no imports. If you're going to accuse your users of not being "experts", you should at least follow the best practices laid out by Bootstrap for setting up it's SASS files:

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/getting-started/theming/

Instead of having a large style.scss, you should have the file consisting of multiple bootstrap @imports with your customized overrides as @imports. Looking at the huge style.scss and the included scss folder isn't helpful. Do you have at least a sample site using SASS we can all look at to help us move through this impasse?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your concerns regarding SASS and its documentation.

  1. We mean no insult to anyone in any way. All the answers provided are honest and clear and in accordance with the Item Support Policy: https://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy . SASS is used widely with Gulp, Ruby or Webpack which requires basic knowledge. We currently do not and cannot provide any Support or Installation Instructions regarding these 3rd Party Services as Canvas is not compatible out of the box with these and it is the responsibility of the User to implement these in their own way using the SASS Files provided. This applies to CSS/JS and HTML or PHP as well, as basic knowledge of these Languages and implementations is required to get started with the Files included with the Package. Moreover, you only need to edit the sass/variable.scss File to get started.

  2. The style.scss File we ship with the Package is just 1KB in size and includes the @import to the individual SASS Files in the Package/sass Folder (see attachment for details) and follow all the Proper SASS Rules. Make sure that you are checking the style.scss File and not the style.css File.

Hope this Helps!

Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
