Importing Scss into vue.js views

Question

I've noticed that if I want to use my _variables.scss I have to import them in every Vue file. My question is, how can I check if I load the same styles multiple times or does Vue saves only once the same scss files on compiling?

This is my code in multiple view files.

<style lang="scss" scoped> @import '~@/abstracts/_variables.scss'; @import '~@/pages/_profile.scss'; </style>

I import _variables.scss in every view where I want to use my scss variables.

This depends on how you have your project setup, for example if you're using webpack you can do something like this where you have your CSS loaders setup:

scss: generateLoaders('sass', {
  additionalData: `
      @import "@/styles/_variables.scss"
    `,
}),

Or if you have a vue.config.js you can do this:

module.exports = {
  css: {
    loaderOptions: {
      sass: {
        additionalData: `
          @import "@/assets/scss/main.scss"
        `
      }
    }
  }
}

Then you will have access to this global SCSS file everywhere in your Vue application.

Side note on the additionalData portion - that will depend on the version of sass loader you're using:

For ^7.x.x use data, and for ^8.0.2 use prependData, finally for 9.0.0+ use additionalData
