About Lenix scss compiler

From the official readme · v1.2

Description

A useful plugin for developers writing SCSS.
The plugin allows you to write SCSS directly on the server (via FTP) without the need for a local compiler.

How It Works?

Choose a source folder for SCSS and a target folder for CSS.
Write the SCSS code in the file on the source folder, and it automatically creates a CSS file in the target folder.

What’s included?

  • Option for multiple source and destination folders.
  • Allows you to set a folder in the entire wp-content space.
  • Performance – only when one of the source files change – it re-compiling itself.
  • After development you can turn off / delete the plugin without fear, and all the files are stay where they were.
  • Allows you to develop a theme and plugin at the same time.

Example:

source: themes/your-theme/assets/scss/style.scss

body {
    color: black;
    .main {
        background: red;
    }
}

target: themes/your-theme/assets/css/style.css

body {
    color: black;
}

body .main {
    background: red;
}

— pay attention!
If the file already exists in the destination folder – it will be overwritten by the SCSS file
