Module System Preview
Posted 4 September 2019 by Natalie Weizenbaum
Exciting news, Sass fans! After a year of development and some iteration on the spec, we’re ready to launch a beta preview of the new Sass module system! We may still make a few last-minute tweaks based on user feedback, so don’t go using itin production just yet, but please do take this opportunity to play around with it and let us know what you think.

The preview release is available on all the normal distribution channels as
version 1.23.0-module.beta.1
. You can download it from the GitHub release
page, or
install it using one of the following commands (depending on your preferred
installation channel):
$ npm install --save-dev sass@1.23.0-module.beta.1
$ npm install -g sass@1.23.0-module.beta.1
$ brew install sass/sass/sass@1.23.0-module.beta.1
$ choco install sass --version 1.23.0.modulebeta-1
$ pub global activate sass 1.23.0-module.beta.1
Note that 1.23.0 may not actually be the final version number for the stable module system release, it’s just the next minor version number in Dart Sass’s release series.

If you have opinions on the module system, please file an issue on GitHub or just tweet at @SassCSS. We’ll take anything from "it looks awesome" to "it looks awful", although the more specific you can be the more information we have to work with!
