Preprocessor Support

[jeremyckahn]

This is a really good idea, thanks for the suggestion. To implement this feature, most of the heavy lifting would actually be done in Rekapi. I'd need to make a new Rekapi exporter extension - there is only an exporter for CSS at the moment.

At the moment, multiple keyframe support is my highest priority. I can't give an estimate on when this might be implemented, but I'll make it a priority after multiple keyframes.

I will update this Feature Request when I have something.

Quite a bit of time has passed on this, so I should update this bug report.

I don't think that SASS can actually create the same output that Stylie/Rekapi does. This tool is meant to generate CSS animation paths that are arbitrarily complex. This is possible because each transform property can have a different easing formula. What this means is that, to satisfy this feature request, I'd need to create a SASS/Compass mixin that effectively ports Rekapi's CSS exporter module. This isn't something I plan to do. Trying to achieve the same affect without a custom mixin with SASS would result in output that looks pretty much the same, save for the vendor-prefixed code duplication.

Considering that, I don't plan on implementing this. If you would like to submit a Pull Request to implement the feature, or if I am misunderstanding SASS's capabilities, please reopen this bug and we'll discuss it from there.

On a related note, I recently added an animation saving feature to Stylie (click the wrench in the upper-right corner of the control panel), so now you can tweak animations even after exiting the app.
