how to use sass in ionic framework?

I am trying to use sass in my project ..I open this link and follow all command .I create a project and set up sass. http://learn.ionicframework.com/formulas/working-with-sass/

I got this directory

   scss
     |
     |—>ionic.app.scss
   www
     |
     |->css
          |
          |——>ionic.app.css

And index.html file I imported ionic.app.css in style tag .So whatever I change in ionic.app.scss file it comes ionic.app.css file and reflect in view .

if I added some element in index.html .Example I added Paragraph tag in ion-contend.

<ion-pane>
    <ion-header-bar class="bar-stable">
        <h1 class="title">Ionic Blank Starter</h1>
    </ion-header-bar>
    <ion-content>
        <pid=“addp”>Testparagraph</p>
    </ion-content>
</ion-pane>

add this

#addp{
background-color:yellow;
}

ionic.app.scss.It added in ionic.app.css and reflect In view.

Now what I try to do .I want to add own file example “application.scss” in sass folder which should create another file “application.css” in css folder .So whatever I code in “application.scss” it come in “application.css” file and I import “application.css” in index.html file .Then It reflect on view .?

where I write this code so I to generate this file and watch the my “application.scss” file .

When I run ionic server and I change anything in “ionic.app.scss” file it reflect on view same time.I need to do same with “application.scss” .If I change “application.scss” .So it will reflect on my view .

I saw this in gulp file.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
var gutil = require('gulp-util');
var bower = require('bower');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var minifyCss = require('gulp-minify-css');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var sh = require('shelljs');

var paths = {
  sass: ['./scss/**/*.scss']
};

gulp.task('default', ['sass']);

gulp.task('sass', function(done) {
  gulp.src('./scss/ionic.app.scss')
    .pipe(sass({
      errLogToConsole: true
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./www/css/'))
    .pipe(minifyCss({
      keepSpecialComments: 0
    }))
    .pipe(rename({ extname: '.min.css' }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./www/css/'))
    .on('end', done);
});

gulp.task('watch', function() {
  gulp.watch(paths.sass, ['sass']);
});

gulp.task('install', ['git-check'], function() {
  return bower.commands.install()
    .on('log', function(data) {
      gutil.log('bower', gutil.colors.cyan(data.id), data.message);
    });
});

gulp.task('git-check', function(done) {
  if (!sh.which('git')) {
    console.log(
      '  ' + gutil.colors.red('Git is not installed.'),
      '\n  Git, the version control system, is required to download Ionic.',
      '\n  Download git here:', gutil.colors.cyan('http://git-scm.com/downloads') + '.',
      '\n  Once git is installed, run \'' + gutil.colors.cyan('gulp install') + '\' again.'
    );
    process.exit(1);
  }
  done();
});

Ideally your application.scss should have only the variables used by your other custom .scss files, The idea being, you Change one value and it will change the it all the .scss files.

and your gulp process will compile all your files to a minified css file.

Have a look at, ionic scss folder and their variables file

and the variables used in _variables.scss is same as ionic.app.scss. you can have all the variables defined in _variables.scss in ionic.app.scss.

Hope u have an idea on how Ionic does it, so you could follow the same structure
