Add timestamps to compiled sass/scss

Question

Is it possible to automatically add a timestamp on the compiled CSS file using SASS? e.g.

/* CSS Compiled on: {date+time} */
...compiled css goes here...
         


        

Answer 1

If you are using the command line version of SCSS you can do the following:

1. Install sass-timestamp

   gem install sass-timestamp

2. Use it within your code like (see documentation for more information)

   /* Compiled on #{timestamp()} */

3. Require it on the command line

   scss -r sass-timestamp ...

4. Output will be

   /* Compiled on 2015-02-02 13:01:40 +0800 */

Note: Use #{unix_timestamp()} for a unix timestamp
