module SassC

The global load paths for Sass files. This is meant for plugins and libraries to register the paths to their Sass stylesheets to that they may be `@imported`. This load path is used by every instance of {Sass::Engine}. They are lower-precedence than any load paths passed in via the {file:SASS_REFERENCE.md#load_paths-option `:load_paths` option}.

If the `SASS_PATH` environment variable is set, the initial value of `load_paths` will be initialized based on that. The variable should be a colon-separated list of path names (semicolon-separated on Windows).

Note that files on the global load path are never compiled to CSS themselves, even if they aren't partials. They exist only to be imported.

@example

SassC.load_paths << File.dirname(__FILE__ + '/sass')

@return [Array<String, Pathname, Sass::Importers::Base>]

# File lib/sassc.rb, line 21
def self.load_paths
  @load_paths ||= if ENV['SASS_PATH']
                    ENV['SASS_PATH'].split(SassC::Util.windows? ? ';' : ':')
                  else
                    []
                  end
end
