Create a new temp project

$ mkdir sass_gulp_workshop
cd into the new directory
Initialize NPM: $ npm init --yes
Install gulp and gulp-sass packages: $ npm install -D gulp gulp-sass browser-sync
Update package.json's scripts section with this key-value pair: "scripts": { "dev": "gulp" }
Recreate this file structure in this directory:

public (directory)
- css (directory)
- index.html (file)
scss (directory)
- partials (directory)
- styles.scss (file)
gulpfile.js (file)
package.json (created by npm init --yes)

Add the following code into the gulpfile.js file:

var gulp        = require('gulp');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync').create();
var sass        = require('gulp-sass');

// Static Server + watching scss/html files
gulp.task('serve', function() {

  browserSync.init({
      server: "./public"
  });

  gulp.watch("scss/**/*.scss", ['sass']);
  gulp.watch("public/*.html").on('change', browserSync.reload);
});

// Compile sass into CSS & auto-inject into browsers
gulp.task('sass', function() {
  return gulp.src("scss/partials/styles.scss")
    .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("public/css"))
    .pipe(browserSync.stream());
});

gulp.task('default', ['sass', 'serve']);

Add the following code into the file located at scss/styles.scss:

body {
  background-color: red;
  
  h1 {
    color: purple;
  }
}

note: this is just a test, dont ever actually nest starting with body element. 😬

Add the following code into the public/index.html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Sass Gulp Workshop</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello Syntatically Awesome Style Sheets!</h1>
</body>
</html>

start developing with the command: npm run dev
