In this recipe, we'll make use of the sass (0.12.1) plugin to compile our Sass style sheets to CSS style sheets, which can be used by our web application.
Tip
The contrib-sass plugin is slightly more popular and more mature that the sass plugin but requires the Sass Ruby library to be installed, which seems to be an unnecessary step for this recipe.
Please note that at the time of writing, the sass plugin did not work with Version 0.11.* of Node.js, but a solution for this issue was in the works. In the following recipe, Version 0.10.* was used.
In this example, we'll work with the basic project structure that we created in the Installing Grunt on a project recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Grunt. Be sure to refer to it if you are not yet familiar with its contents.
