# data
Type: `String`
Default: `null`
**Special**: `file` or `data` must be specified

A string to pass to [LibSass] to render. It is recommended that you use `includePaths` in conjunction with this so that [LibSass] can find files when using the `@import` directive.

# functions (>= v3.0.0) - _experimental_

**This is an experimental LibSass feature. Use with caution.**

`functions` is an `Object` that holds a collection of custom functions that may be invoked by the sass files being compiled. They may take zero or more input parameters and must return a value either synchronously (`return ...;`) or asynchronously (`done();`). Those parameters will be instances of one of the constructors contained in the `require('node-sass').types` hash. The return value must be of one of these types as well. See the list of available types below:

## types.Number(value [, unit = ""])
* `getValue()`/ `setValue(value)` : gets / sets the numerical portion of the number
* `getUnit()` / `setUnit(unit)` : gets / sets the unit portion of the number

## types.String(value)
* `getValue()` / `setValue(value)` : gets / sets the enclosed string

## types.Color(r, g, b [, a = 1.0]) or types.Color(argb)
* `getR()` / `setR(value)` : red component (integer from `0` to `255`)
* `getG()` / `setG(value)` : green component (integer from `0` to `255`)
* `getB()` / `setB(value)` : blue component (integer from `0` to `255`)
* `getA()` / `setA(value)` : alpha component (number from `0` to `1.0`)

Example:

```javascript
var Color = require('node-sass').types.Color,
c1 = new Color(255, 0, 0),
c2 = new Color(0xff0088cc);
```

## types.Boolean(value)
* `getValue()` : gets the enclosed boolean
* `types.Boolean.TRUE` : Singleton instance of `types.Boolean` that holds "true"
* `types.Boolean.FALSE` : Singleton instance of `types.Boolean` that holds "false"

## types.List(length [, commaSeparator = true])
* `getValue(index)` / `setValue(index, value)` : `value` must itself be an instance of one of the constructors in `sass.types`.
* `getSeparator()` / `setSeparator(isComma)` : whether to use commas as a separator
* `getLength()`

## types.Map(length)
* `getKey(index)` / `setKey(index, value)`
* `getValue(index)` / `setValue(index, value)`
* `getLength()`

## types.Null()
* `types.Null.NULL` : Singleton instance of `types.Null`.

## Example

```javascript
sass.renderSync({
data: '#{headings(2,5)} { color: #08c; }',
functions: {
'headings($from: 0, $to: 6)': function(from, to) {
var i, f = from.getValue(), t = to.getValue(),
list = new sass.types.List(t - f + 1);

for (i = f; i <= t; i++) {
list.setValue(i - f, new sass.types.String('h' + i));
}

return list;
}
}
});

# importer (>= v2.0.0) - _experimental_

**This is an experimental LibSass feature. Use with caution.**

Type: `Function | Function[]` signature `function(url, prev, done)`
Default: `undefined`

Function Parameters and Information:
* `url (String)` - the path in import **as-is**, which [LibSass] encountered
* `prev (String)` - the previously resolved path
* `done (Function)` - a callback function to invoke on async completion, takes an object literal containing
* `file (String)` - an alternate path for [LibSass] to use **OR**
* `contents (String)` - the imported contents (for example, read from memory or the file system)

Handles when [LibSass] encounters the `@import` directive. A custom importer allows extension of the [LibSass] engine in both a synchronous and asynchronous manner. In both cases, the goal is to either `return` or call `done()` with an object literal. Depending on the value of the object literal, one of two things will happen.

When returning or calling `done()` with `{ file: "String" }`, the new file path will be assumed for the `@import`. It's recommended to be mindful of the value of `prev` in instances where relative path resolution may be required.

When returning or calling `done()` with `{ contents: "String" }`, the string value will be used as if the file was read in through an external source.

Starting from v3.0.0:

* `this` refers to a contextual scope for the immediate run of `sass.render` or `sass.renderSync`

* importers can return error and LibSass will emit that error in response. For instance:

```javascript
done(new Error('doesn\'t exist!'));
// or return synchornously
return new Error('nothing to do here');
```

* importer can be an array of functions, which will be called by LibSass in the order of their occurrence in array. This helps user specify special importer for particular kind of path (filesystem, http). If an importer does not want to handle a particular path, it should return `null`. See [functions section](#functions--v300) for more details on Sass types.

# Version information (>= v2.0.0)

Both `node-sass` and `libsass` version info is now exposed via the `info` method:

```javascript
var sass = require('node-sass');

console.log(sass.info);

/*
it will output something like:
node-sass 2.0.1 (Wrapper) [JavaScript]
libsass 3.1.0 (Sass Compiler) [C/C++]
*/
```

Since node-sass >=v3.0.0 LibSass version is determined at run time.

# outFile
Type: `String | null`
Default: `null`
**Special:** Required when `sourceMap` is a truthy value

Specify the intended location of the output file. Strongly recommended when outputting source maps so that they can properly refer back to their intended files.

**Attention** enabling this option will **not** write the file on disk for you, it's for internal reference purpose only (to generate the map for example).

Example on how to write it on the disk
```javascript
sass.render({
...
outFile: yourPathTotheFile,
}, function(error, result) { // node-style callback from v3.0.0 onwards
if(!error){
// No errors during the compilation, write this result on the disk
fs.writeFile(yourPathTotheFile, result.css, function(err){
if(!err){
//file written on disk
}
});
}
});
});

# `render` Callback (>= v3.0.0)
node-sass supports standard node style asynchronous callbacks with the signature of `function(err, result)`. In error conditions, the `error` argument is populated with the error object. In success conditions, the `result` object is populated with an object describing the result of the render call.

## Error Object
* `message` (String) - The error message.
* `line` (Number) - The line number of error.
* `column` (Number) - The column number of error.
* `status` (Number) - The status code.
* `file` (String) - The filename of error. In case `file` option was not set (in favour of `data`), this will reflect the value `stdin`.

## Result Object
* `css` (Buffer) - The compiled CSS. Write this to a file, or serve it out as needed.
* `map` (Buffer) - The source map
* `stats` (Object) - An object containing information about the compile. It contains the following keys:
* `entry` (String) - The path to the scss file, or `data` if the source was not a file
* `start` (Number) - Date.now() before the compilation
* `end` (Number) - Date.now() after the compilation
* `duration` (Number) - *end* - *start*
* `includedFiles` (Array) - Absolute paths to all related scss files in no particular order.

## Examples

```javascript
var sass = require('node-sass');
sass.render({
file: '/path/to/myFile.scss',
data: 'body{background:blue; a{color:black;}}',
importer: function(url, prev, done) {
// url is the path in import as is, which LibSass encountered.
// prev is the previously resolved path.
// done is an optional callback, either consume it or return value synchronously.
// this.options contains this options hash, this.callback contains the node-style callback
someAsyncFunction(url, prev, function(result){
done({
file: result.path, // only one of them is required, see section Special Behaviours.
contents: result.data
});
});
// OR
var result = someSyncFunction(url, prev);
return {file: result.path, contents: result.data};

includePaths: [ 'lib/', 'mod/' ],
outputStyle: 'compressed'
}, function(error, result) { // node-style callback from v3.0.0 onwards
if (error) {
console.log(error.status); // used to be "code" in v2x and below
console.log(error.column);
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.line);

console.log(result.css.toString());

console.log(result.stats);

console.log(result.map.toString());
// or better
console.log(JSON.stringify(result.map)); // note, JSON.stringify accepts Buffer too
}
});
// OR
var result = sass.renderSync({
file: '/path/to/file.scss',
data: 'body{background:blue; a{color:black;}}',
outputStyle: 'compressed',
outFile: '/to/my/output.css',

# Binary configuration parameters

node-sass supports different configuration parameters to change settings related to the sass binary such as binary name, binary path or alternative download path. Following parameters are supported by node-sass:

Variable name | .npmrc parameter | Process argument | Value
-----------------|------------------|--------------------|------
SASS_BINARY_NAME | sass_binary_name | --sass-binary-name | path
SASS_BINARY_SITE | sass_binary_site | --sass-binary-site | URL
SASS_BINARY_PATH | sass_binary_path | --sass-binary-path | path

These parameters can be used as environment variable:

* E.g. `export SASS_BINARY_SITE=http://example.com/`

As local or global [.npmrc](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/config) configuration file:

* E.g. `sass_binary_site=http://example.com/`

As a process argument:

* E.g. `npm install node-sass --SASS_BINARY_SITE=http://example.com/`

# Rebuilding binaries

Node-sass includes pre-compiled binaries for popular platforms, to add a binary for your platform follow these steps:

Check out the project:

```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sass/node-sass.git
cd node-sass
git submodule update --init --recursive
npm install
node scripts/build -f # use -d switch for debug release
# if succeeded, it will generate and move
# the binary in vendor directory.
