Then you need to compile them to CSS first. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Install_the_Web_Compiler_extension\"><\/span>Step 1: Install the Web Compiler extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to install the Web Compiler extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace. But wait, what is it? It&#8217;s a free extension that can perform the task of automatically compiling your Sass and SCSS files to CSS in just a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>To install it, go to the extensions menu in Visual Studio and click on &#8220;Manage Extensions&#8221;. Look for the &#8220;Web Compiler&#8221; and install it. Easy peasy!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Configure_the_Web_Compiler_extension\"><\/span>Step 2: Configure the Web Compiler extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve installed Web Compiler, you need to configure it to compile your SCSS files. But, how to configure it? That&#8217;s simple. <\/p>\n<p>First, open the &#8220;Web Compiler&#8221; window located inside the &#8220;Tools&#8221; menu. In there, you&#8217;ll get to see a list of files that will be compiled by default. There&#8217;s a section called &#8220;compilerconfig.json&#8221; where you can configure the path where the files should be saved.<\/p>\n<p>To configure it, simply add a new entry with the following code:<\/p>\n<pre>\n{\n  \"outputFile\": \"path\/to\/output.css\",\n  \"inputFile\": \"path\/to\/input.scss\",\n  \"options\": {}\n}\n<\/pre>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to edit the placeholders of the file paths with your own information. Got it? Great!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Compile_your_SCSS_files\"><\/span>Step 3: Compile your SCSS files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s time to compile your SCSS files to CSS. But, how to do it?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy. Just save your SCSS file with the changes you&#8217;ve made, and Visual Studio will automatically compile it with the help of the Web Compiler extension. The CSS file will be saved in the output directory you specified in the &#8220;compilerconfig.json&#8221; file. But if you want to compile it manually, just right-click on the file in the Solution Explorer and select &#8220;Web Compiler&#8221; > &#8220;Compile File&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Compiling SCSS to CSS in Visual Studio has never been this easy with the help of the Web Compiler extension. With just a few simple steps involving installing, configuring, and compiling your SCSS files, you&#8217;ll be on your way to using them in your web projects in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compiling SCSS to CSS in Visual Studio Are you using Visual Studio to write Sass and SCSS files but unable to use them in your&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12620"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13573,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12620\/revisions\/13573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
