# grunt-dart-sass > Compile Sass to CSS via Dart Sass ## Getting Started If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command: ``` npm install -D sass grunt-dart-sass ``` Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript: ``` grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dart-sass'); ``` ## Usage Run this task with the `grunt dart-sass` command. ## Options Refer to the [Dart Sass JavaScript API](https://github.com/sass/dart-sass#javascript-api) for more information about options and guidelines for proper usage. [Dart Sass](https://github.com/sass/dart-sass) options are similar to the those of [Node-sass](https://github.com/sass/node-sass), excluding `precision` and `sourceComments` options and sans the `nested` and `compact` values for the `outputStyle` option. ## Examples Add a section named `dart-sass` to the data object passed into `grunt.initConfig()`, then pass in your files object or array. **Compile a file** ```js grunt.initConfig({ 'dart-sass': { target: { files: { 'dest/css/style.css': 'src/scss/style.scss' } } } }); ``` **Compile all files within a folder** ```js grunt.initConfig({ 'dart-sass': { target: { files: [{ expand: true, cwd: 'src/scss/', src: ['*.scss'], dest: 'dest/css', ext: '.css' }] } } }); ``` **Compress the CSS output** ```js grunt.initConfig({ 'dart-sass': { target: { options: { outputStyle: 'compressed' }, files: { 'dest/css/style.css': 'src/scss/style.scss' } } } }); ``` **Prevent the creation of source maps** ```js grunt.initConfig({ 'dart-sass': { target: { options: { sourceMap: false }, files: { 'dest/css/style.css': 'src/scss/style.scss' } } } }); ```
