sass/no-node-sass

Why

node-sass wraps LibSass, which the Sass team deprecated: it gets no new features (no @use, no math.div, no modern colour functions), builds a native binary that often fails to install on new Node.js versions, and compiles some code differently from the Sass everyone else runs.

Fix

Replace it with sass (or sass-embedded, which is faster on large projects) and point the bundler at it; Vite, webpack's sass-loader and the framework CLIs pick it up by name. Then fix the deprecation warnings Dart Sass prints, starting with @import (sass/no-import).

Examples

// bad
"devDependencies": { "node-sass": "^9.0.0" }
// good
"devDependencies": { "sass": "^1.108.2" }
