thank you, this is great i will use

Thanks, that's perfect!

Thanks a lot !

Here's the setup that I'm currently using for a project. Ignore the custom-partials folder, it is not part of the 7-1, I use it for writing temporary stuff which in most cases will eventually be moved to one of the other folders

This is implemented using the new @forward and @use module system, each folder contains an _index.scss file used to forward the refs to individual files in that folder. Below is the _index.scss file for the components folder, the other folders' index files are similar

@forward './checkbox-toggle';
@forward './flex-text';

CC: @carolyn01 , @HowdyMcGee hope this helps

Create a file called script.sh in your ./sass folder and paste this code.

mkdir abstract pages layout base components 
cd abstract
touch _function.scss _mixins.scss _variables.scss
cd .. 
cd base 
touch _animations.scss _typography.scss _utilities.scss _base.scss
# This is a comment
# Use below imports in your main inde.scss file
# @import "./abstract/variables";
# @import "./layout/header";
# @import "./base/animations";
# @import "./base/typography";
# @import "./components/button";

Navigate to ./sass folder and double click on this file (script.sh)
It will automatically create some of the folder and files for you. 😁
I'll update this script as I create more files for myself 😛

Thanks for the code @abhagsain

For those interested I made a similar batch version

1. Open your favourite text editor
2. Paste the code below
3. Save it as .bat
4. Copy/paste it and launch it wherever you need to

@saini-g Thank you very much.
However, are you familiar with variables using this format?
Some variables are globally usable and some are not, even if declared in same *_.scss file.

Hi, thanks for this. But I have a problem. I use bootstrap with npm, how should I setup this? I'm a bit lost :( (New)

Thanks a lot! Very helpful.

Love it ::D

I Love it, Thanks man. :)

Create a file called script.sh in your ./sass folder and paste this code.

mkdir abstract pages layout base components 
cd abstract
touch _function.scss _mixins.scss _variables.scss
cd .. 
cd base 
touch _animations.scss _typography.scss _utilities.scss _base.scss
# This is a comment
