node-sass is a library that provides binding for Node.js to LibSass, the popular Sass compiler. It allows developers to compile .scss files to .css directly from their Node.js applications. It's widely used in build processes and task runners like Gulp and Grunt, enabling seamless integration of Sass compilation into development workflows. node-sass offers performance benefits by leveraging LibSass's speed and provides access to the full power of the Sass preprocessor within the Node.js ecosystem.
Node-sass releases were frequent in 2013-2016, peaking in 2014 and 2016. Release frequency slowed down significantly after 2018, with only a few releases per year. There have been no releases in 2024, 2025 so far. September had inconsistent activity with few version releases.
Node-sass downloads showed a declining trend from March 2024 to May 2025. A surge occurred in June and July 2025, followed by a sharp decline in August. September 2025 downloads are significantly lower, but the month is not yet complete.
