how can I integrate sails.js with compass?

Question

first excuse my English, I would like to have all the compilation power of compass in sails, compass is able to watch many directories and compile the files that doesn't begin with _, and it creates he same directory structure for the compiled files. how can I do this with grunt or how can I add compass to grunt and let compass compile the files, thanks

sails.js uses grunt for automatic / manual task running. If you need to simplify or automate compass tasks, use grunt-compass .

Technical Details

• Create a new file tasks/config/compass.js with contents similar to below

   module.exports = function (grunt) {
      grunt.config.set('compass', {
          src: 'assets/scss/partials',
          dest: 'assets/css/partials'
      });
      grunt.loadTasks('grunt-compass/tasks');
  
    };

• Then you should be able to run the tasks using grunt compass

• Edit the tasks/watch.js file and add the compass task alongwith linkAssets task etc if you want to run the task on file changes.
