Should mention it's only for legacy browsers like IE11 or so, modern browsers don't need this polyfill.

Maybe i'm missing something -- where did the nodeSass variable come from?

Do I need a const nodeSass = require('node-sass'); at the top AND putting node-sass in my package.json?

I just given it as an example of loading polyfill. Thanks for pointing out the confusion.

Aren't these by default @vasind?

I have seen in some project's where these options are explicitly set as true during development. Just to give an awareness of what are the options we can tweak.

Commenting here because there has been some confusion / concern:

I would not use the IS_TEST or check environment === test. The official docs, and many expectations are around the presence of /tests, which runs in the development environment. If there are any build-time transforms or configuration around the test environment, than the default /tests would not be available.

for completeness, and some may already know this -- given the contents of the gist, I'd flat out disable hinting and if you're disabling tests for build performance, (Like if running 3 times with tests: true and 3 times with tests: false (with deleting tmp and dist between each) shows dramatic (> 10%) time difference) then I'd look in to instead going a multi-app approach (not engines, cause they eagerly build, iirc) -- this way the amount of code in either app is reduced significantly
