Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

scss

Description

An implementation of the s-expression based CSS notation SCSS. It slightly modifies and extends the original implementation of the WebIt! (site seems defunct) framework.

Author

Moritz Heidkamp

Documentation

Only the emitter side is implemented at the moment.

Syntax

stylesheet ::= (css <import-clause>* <rule>+)

import-clause ::= (import <string>)

rule ::= (<complex-selector> <declaration>+)

complex-selector ::= <single-selector> |
                     <grouping-selector>

simple-selector ::= <symbol> |
                    (= class <symbol>) |
                    (= class <simple-selector> <symbol>) |
                    (= pclass <symbol>) |
                    (= pclass <simple-selector> <symbol>) |
                    (= id <symbol>) |
                    (= id <simple-selector> <symbol>)

path-selector ::= (<combinator> <single-selector>+)

combinator ::= // | + | >

single-selector ::= <simple-selector> |
                    <path-selector>

grouping-selector ::= (<single-selector>+)

declaration ::= (<symbol> <scheme-expression>) |
                (! (<symbol> <scheme-expression>))

Alternatively the following extended syntax dubbed SCSS Plus is available:

stylesheet ::= (css+ <import-clause>* <rule>+)

import-clause ::= (import <string>)

rule ::= (<complex-selector> [<declaration> | <nested-rule>]+)

nested-rule ::= (<path-selector> [<declaration> | <nested-rule>]+)

complex-selector ::= <single-selector> |
                     <grouping-selector>

simple-selector ::= <symbol> |
                    (= class <symbol>) |
                    (= class <simple-selector> <symbol>) |
                    (= pclass <symbol>) |
                    (= pclass <simple-selector> <symbol>) |
                    (= id <symbol>) |
                    (= id <simple-selector> <symbol>)

path-selector ::= (<combinator> <single-selector>+)

combinator ::= // | + | > | &

single-selector ::= <simple-selector> |
                    <path-selector>

grouping-selector ::= (<single-selector>+)

declaration ::= (<symbol> <scheme-expression>) |
                (! (<symbol> <scheme-expression>))

The two differences are that you can nest rules which results in much more compact stylesheets as well as use the & combinator which will concatenate nested selectors.

Emitter

write-css scss #!optional portprocedure

Write the CSS translation of scss (which is a list following the syntax described under Syntax) to port.

css->scss scssprocedure

Like write-css but returns the CSS translation as a string instead of writing it to a port.

scss2css

scss2css is a program that is installed with this egg. It takes a file name argument which should contain an SCSS document. If no file name is given it will read from standard input instead. The document will be read and evaled. The result of that is passed to scss->css which in turn writes the resulting CSS to standard output. When the -n option is passed the document won't be evaled.

Examples

Basic 

(write-css '(css (p (text-align center))))

=>

p { text-align: center }

More Complex

(write-css '(css (((= class p note) (+ p p))
                  (font-style italic)
                  (background-color "#ccc"))
                 (|#content| 
                  (width 100em))))

=>

p.note, p + p { font-style: italic; background-color: #ccc }
#content { width: 100em }

SCSS Plus

(write-css '(css+ ((= id main)
                   (display block)
                   ((// p)
                    (font-size 1em)
                    ((& .error)
                     (! (color red)))))))

=>

#main { display: block }
#main p { font-size: 1em }
#main p.error { color: red !important }

History

4
First version to be compatible with CHICKEN 5.
3
Failed attempt at CHICKEN 5 compatibiltity.
2
Failed attempt at CHICKEN 5 compatibiltity.
1
Failed attempt at CHICKEN 5 compatibiltity.
0.5.0
Re-implemented from scratch, fixing various corner cases. The undocumented scss-plus module that was installed by previous versions does not exist anymore. scss->css returns a string instead of writing to a port. Instead, write-css can be used to write to a port now.
