Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

Joe and Nathan

As i sees Sass it is a compileable extension of CSS that creates different
themes e.g. a red, a blu and a black theme.

When a page is launched it may be launced with a red theme by using a <link
...>
to the CSS.

By aplpying an id to the file attribute to the <link id="theme" ... > it
becomes a
named object in the DOM and any named object can be replaced using
javascript
so we are able to replace the original loaded CSS file that takes affect
*immed.

The new thing in Sencha's Fashion is that the compile may be done in the
browser.

Now we can import a common 'Fashion' scss file instead of a precompiled css
file
and convert it or inject new things to it on the fly in the browser or we
may do it in
the node.JS server.

Sass is made for easy theming large CSS files since you can use
variables (change one variable apply to many CSS statements).

You need Ruby to compile Sass scss files into CSS using the Compass gem

I'll follow up with some further research. But that rationale begs the
question, why not just use a CSS editor to create CSS? What advantages
does
Sass scss have over CSS?
