How do you install SASS with Express?

Question

I am creating a node.js app with Express and socket.io. I want to use SASS and I see there is a npm package for it, what I don\'t understand is how do I link between the SAS

Here is a solution based on various sources including the threads/comments above:

node:

var connect = require('connect');
var sass = require('node-sass');

var srcPath = __dirname + '/sass';
var destPath = __dirname + '/public/styles';

var server = connect.createServer(
    sass.middleware({
        src: srcPath,
        dest: destPath,
        debug: true,
        outputStyle: 'expanded',
        prefix: '/styles'
    }),
    connect.static(__dirname + '/public')
);

html:

    
    
         
etc

file system:

rootDirectory / server.js (this is the node app)

rootDirectory / public / styles / (this is where the compiled scss files will appear)

rootDirectory / sass / main.scss

This works for me and I've forked the example at:

node-sass-example
