Transpiler Support [SCSS/TS]

[Panakotta00]

Can you already make use of TS and SCSS?

If not, this would be a really neat feature to have.

Typescript should work if you import it, but it won't work inside a Svelte view yet. I believe ESBuild supports TS imports by default. We'll add Svelte + TS support when there's a renewed focus on views.

There's some unexposed, unfinished support for custom transforms for views, so you could have view/index.md. I plan to finish that up when I start migrating docs to their own website.

For SCSS, no plans currently. How would you expect to use it? Import it in JS? Reference it in a <link> tag? Why do you prefer SCSS over scoped, plain CSS?

[Panakotta00]

In regards of scss.
I simply prefer sass/scss over plain css especially when working with more complex components.
It reduces redundancy afterall quite a bit.

Ideal it would be used similar to how it works in svelte-kit:

<style lang="scss">
    ...
</style>

It actually came to mind, ideally, PostCSS support would be great, as we would be able to use tailwind css postporcessor and their like...

PostCSS would probably take priority for me since it's such a huge ecosystem. Sveltekit supporting scss might be a good enough reason to support it too, I'll try and make transforms powerful enough to pull this off.
