Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

📦 hot-sass Documentation

hot-sass is a zero-configuration SCSS/SASS compiler for vanilla JavaScript projects. It lets you use SCSS/SASS files directly in HTML using <link> tags. It fetches, compiles, and injects the resulting CSS into your page — no build tools required.

Perfect for quick prototypes, demos, or small projects where you want to use SCSS without complex setups.

🚀 Features

  • Zero Config: Drop in a script and link your SCSS files — done.
  • Live Compile: Fetches and compiles SCSS/SASS files in the browser.
  • No Build Tools: No npm, no Webpack, no bundlers needed.
  • Works Anywhere: Works in plain HTML files or even inside frameworks.
  • CDN Ready: Load directly from jsDelivr.

📥 Installation

Add the script to your HTML:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/raiyanu/hot-sass@main/src/index.js" data-autorun></script>

📄 Usage

Example HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>hot-sass Example</title>
    <link rel="scss" href="styles/main.scss">
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/raiyanu/hot-sass@main/src/index.js" data-autorun></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, hot-sass!</h1>
</body>
</html>

What this does

  • Finds all <link rel="scss"> or <link rel="sass"> tags.
  • Fetches and compiles those files.
  • Injects the compiled CSS into the page.

⚙️ Optional: Use a Custom Version of sass.js

By default, hot-sass loads sass.js from:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sass.js@latest/dist/sass.sync.js

If you want to use a specific version of sass.js or host your own file, you can provide a sass-url attribute to the script tag like this:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/raiyanu/hot-sass@main/src/index.js" 
        sass-url="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/sass.sync.js"
        data-autorun></script>

This allows full control over which version of sass.js is used.

📚 Manual Initialization (No data-autorun)

If you want to control when hot-sass runs (instead of automatically running), leave off data-autorun and call HotSass() manually:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/raiyanu/hot-sass@main/src/index.js"></script>
<script>
    HotSass();
</script>

🔗 Supported Link Tags

  • <link rel="scss" href="yourfile.scss">
  • <link rel="sass" href="yourfile.sass">

⚠️ Important Notes

  • This is best for development or quick demos. In production, pre-compiling SCSS is faster.
  • It works in modern browsers that support fetch and Promise (basically all recent browsers).
  • If using files from a different origin (e.g., CDN-hosted SCSS), ensure CORS headers are configured correctly.

🐞 Troubleshooting

| Problem | Solution | |---|---| | SCSS file not found | Check the href path in your <link> tag. | | Compilation fails | Check the browser console for error messages. | | Nothing happens | Did you forget data-autorun or the manual HotSass() call? | | Wrong Sass.js version | Double-check your sass-url value if using a custom version. |

📜 Example with Specific Sass.js Version

<link rel="scss" href="styles/main.scss">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/raiyanu/hot-sass@main/src/index.js"
        sass-url="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/sass.sync.js"
        data-autorun></script>
