Question 1

How do I install and set up sass-deprecate in a new project?

Accepted Answer

Clone the repository or use npm, then import index.scss and define the $app-version variable. The README provides a step-by-step example from v1.0.0 to v2.0.0 to guide you.

Question 2

Can sass-deprecate handle alpha or beta version numbers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires integrating Kitty Giraudel's sass-semver library or defining a custom deprecate-version-greater-than function, as detailed in the advanced SemVer support section.

Question 3

How to customize warning messages in sass-deprecate?

Accepted Answer

When calling the deprecate() mixin, include a custom string as the second argument, which will be displayed in compilation warnings to guide developers to updated code.

Question 4

Sass deprecate vs using @warn in Sass manually: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Sass deprecate offers structured version-based control and automatic code removal, whereas manual @warn requires more boilerplate and doesn't handle version comparisons or automatic exclusion, making it less scalable for large projects.

Question 5

Does sass-deprecate work with build tools like Webpack or Gulp?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it integrates seamlessly with any Sass compilation process, as it's just a Sass mixin; ensure your build tool is configured to handle Sass imports and variables properly.

Question 6

What are alternatives to sass-deprecate for managing CSS deprecation?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives include using CSS custom properties with fallbacks, PostCSS plugins like postcss-deprecate, or framework-specific tools, but sass-deprecate is unique for its SemVer integration in Sass environments.
