Overriding Vuetify variables

I'm using Vuetify in my project, and I want to use a variable file to override the styles generated by Vuetify.

I'm loading the components and their corresponding styles using the a-la-carte method, so I'm NOT importing the Vuetify SASS file using this:

 @import '~vuetify/src/styles/styles.sass' 
// Not using this method because I don't want to generate styles that are not being used by
// vuetify components I'm not using

Also, my project is using *.scss, not *.sass.

I'm also injecting a global SCSS file containing mixins and other variables in my vue.config.js:

css: {
  sourceMap: productionSourceMap,
  loaderOptions: {
    scss: {
      prependData: `@import '@/scss/_common.scss';`
    }
  }
},

I included a Vuetify variable, $border-radius-root, in that common.scss file, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Any idea how to do what I want without having to write entirely new CSS rules to override Vuetify's generated stylesheet? Basically I want to change the units that Vuetify uses using their own stylesheet generator.

If you are using Nuxt:

you can add customVariable path in your nuxt.config.js file, in vuetify object

Note you have to enable treeShake. This option is required for custom SASS variables to work

example:

vuetify: {
    // usually file should be in assets folder
    customVariables: ['~/path/to/variables.scss'],
    treeShake: true,
}

If you are using Vue CLI:

  1. Create a folder with name: sass, scss, or styles
  2. Create new file inside this folder and name it: variables.scss or variables.sass

vuetify-loader will automatically bootstrap your variables into Vue CLI’s compilation process, overwriting the framework defaults.

Actually the solution is, and I'm dumb for not thinking of this before, to add another loader to vue.config.js:

css: {
  sourceMap: productionSourceMap,
  loaderOptions: {
    scss: {
      prependData: `@import '@/scss/_common.scss';`
    },
    sass: {
      prependData: `@import '@/sass/_vuetify-variables.sass';`
    }
  }
},

Since vuetify is using sass as the css pre-processor, it needs sass-loader to handle the variable overrides and apply it to the framework.

From Vuetify docs:

If you have not installed Vuetify, check out the quick-start guide. Once installed, create a folder called sass, scss or styles in your src directory with a file named variables.scss or variables.sass. The vuetify-loader will automatically bootstrap your variables into Vue CLI's compilation process, overwriting the framework defaults.

So, the vuetify-loader automatically loads @/scss/variables.scss in a Vue CLI project, so you could set $border-radius-root in that file, and it will overrride the framework default.
