Angular-cli from css to scss
As of ng6 this can be accomplished with the following code added to angular.json
at the root level:
Manually change in .angular.json
:
"schematics": {
"@schematics/angular:component": {
"styleext": "scss"
}
}
For Angular 6 check the Official documentation
Note: For @angular/cli
versions older than 6.0.0-beta.6
use ng set
in place of ng config
.
For existing projects
In an existing angular-cli project that was set up with the default css
styles you will need to do a few things:
- Change the default style extension to
scss
Manually change in
.angular-cli.json
(Angular 5.x and older) orangular.json
(Angular 6+) or run:ng config defaults.styleExt=scss
if you get an error: Value cannot be found.
use the command:
ng config schematics.@schematics/angular:component.styleext scss
(*source: Angular CLI SASS options)
Rename your existing
.css
files to.scss
(i.e. styles.css and app/app.component.css)Point the CLI to find styles.scss
Manually change the file extensions in
apps[0].styles
inangular.json
- Point the components to find your new style files
Change the
styleUrls
in your components to match your new file names
For future projects
As @Serginho mentioned you can set the style extension when running the ng new
command
ng new your-project-name --style=scss
If you want to set the default for all projects you create in the future run the following command:
ng config --global defaults.styleExt=scss
