How to deal with SASS?

Question

Sass

Began to study SASS, there were questions. Initially installed with the gem install sass command, I run sass --watch sass:css, everything works. And if you install with such a command npm install sass -S, then do you need SASS from Ruby and how to use it then? I apologize for the noob question, but something is a lot divorced: Gulp-sass, Grunt-sass and the like. A complete mess in my head, how to understand what is better to use?

Answer 1

There is Ruby Sass and Lib Sass, the former is older than the latter, but libsass is on its heels.
Gulp-sass, Grunt-sass are just wrappers for Lib Sass.
Anything can be used. In a ruby ​​project, it would be logical to use a ruby ​​gem, in building a frontend with a gallp or a grant, the corresponding plugins will be used that depend on one of the libraries (which one most often does not matter for the end user)

Answer 2

If you do not want to figure it out for a very long time, then I advise you to try Prepros or koala . These are programs where you simply throw a folder with a project, and they themselves compile, minify, concatenate, and so on. Support( sass, scss, less, coffeeScript, jade(koala doesn't support) )
