Gulp-sass: `node-sass` is required even if using a different `compiler`

Created on 27 Oct 2018 · 1Comment · Source: dlmanning/gulp-sass

node-sass is always required upon require('gulp-sass'). This means when node-sass isn't working (eg. it isn't on node 11 yet right now), one can't use sass.compiler = require('dart-sass') because require('gulp-sass') itself will fail.

Could gulp-sass conditionally require node-sass inside the main function? This would be a breaking change since require('gulp-sass').compiler would be undefined until the gulp stream's started — but since it's currently not possible to use a different compiler without requiring the default one, it may very well be worth it.

This has been discussed before. It isn't currently planned. It's always
been possible to change compiler.

If you specifically just want to use dart sass you can try gulp-dart-sass.
