SCSS Zed Theme Compiler

This package allows you to write Zed themes with SCSS.

It's a quick-and-dirty utility that compiles a SCSS file into a Zed JSON theme file, allowing you to develop in SCSS and take advantage of features like color variables.

Setup

1. This utility requires Node.js to run, so you'll need to make sure that is installed on your local system.
2. Clone this repo and run npm install to install dependencies.

Theme development

1. Give your theme a name: Inside the src folder is an example theme file to get started. Edit its name to make it easy to choose from the list of themes in Zed.
2. Start the compiler: Run npm run dev to compile and install the theme.
3. Select your theme: Navigate to the Zed themes menu and choose your theme.
4. Develop: Any changes to your scss file will automatically reflect in Zed, so you can see your changes in real-time.
5. Press ^c in the terminal to stop the compiler.

Theme publishing

1. Run npm run build to compile your theme.
2. Grab the JSON file from the dist folder to use in your theme extension.
3. Follow the instructions provided by Zed for publishing themes.

Quirks

• CSS var prefixes (--) are stripped from the JSON output.
• Dashes (-) are replaced with periods (.) in the JSON output.
• Because this utility uses CSS vars to define values, SCSS variables need to be wrapped in #{} tags to be evaluated correctly.
