This library will convert a SASS/SCSS color map into a JSON file for the sole purpose of being used for a Fractal styleguide.
The format of the color map can only include HEX values, lighten/darken, and references to other variables are not supported.
$ npm install --save sass-maps-to-json -D
This script can be used as part of a gulp task, or standalone as a script you run from the command line.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
src | string |
A string containing a path to the input file. |
dest | string |
JSON file destination |
Example (as a gulp task):
var gulp = require('gulp');
var sassMapToJson = require('sass-maps-to-json');
gulp.task('sassToJson', function() {
var settings = {
"src": "sass/settings/_colors.scss",
"dest": "colors.config.json"
};
sassMapToJson(settings);
});
Create a js file in your project (convertsass.js in this example)
var sassMapToJson = require('sass-maps-to-json');
var settings = {
"src": "sass/settings/_colors.scss",
"dest": "colors.config.json"
};
sassMapToJson(settings);
Then in your package.json file create a script that will execute this:
"scripts": {
"convert-sass": "node convertsass.js"
},
$palette: (
red: (
light: #fff2f1,
mid: #ff7369,
dark: #c90d00
),
blue: (
lightest: #5e7298,
light: #404d69
),
black: #000,
white: #fff,
grey: #333
)!default;
{
"context": {
"colors": {
"Red": {
"swatches": [
{
"name": "light",
"groupcollated": "(red, light)",
"hex": "#fff2f1"
},
{
"name": "mid",
"groupcollated": "(red, mid)",
"hex": "#ff7369"
},
{
"name": "dark",
"groupcollated": "(red, dark)",
"hex": "#c90d00"
}
]
},
"Blue": {
"swatches": [
{
"name": "lightest",
"groupcollated": "(blue, lightest)",
"hex": "#5e7298"
},
{
"name": "light",
"groupcollated": "(blue, light)",
"hex": "#404d69"
}
]
},
"Other": {
"swatches": [
{
"name": "black",
"hex": "#000"
},
{
"name": "white",
"hex": "#fff"
},
{
"name": "grey",
"hex": "#333"
}
]
}
}
}
}
The drive for this script was to create as much of a "live" styleguide as possible, and we use Fractal to generate a static site in our build process from our up to date sass files.
Fractal uses handlebars.js
as a template engine.
I have included an example in the fractal_examples
directory of this project which should help get you up and running. The file will output a section with named title for each group containing the colour name, and hex value
