Creates a synchronous Compiler. Each compiler instance exposes the compile and compileString methods within the lifespan of the Compiler. Given identical input, these methods will return results identical to their counterparts exposed at the module root. To use asynchronous compilation, use initAsyncCompiler.

When calling the compile functions multiple times, using a compiler instance with the sass-embedded npm package is much faster than using the top-level compilation methods or the sass npm package.

Example

constsass = require('sass');
functionsetup() {
constcompiler = sass.initCompiler();
constresult1 = compiler.compileString('a {b: c}').css;
constresult2 = compiler.compileString('a {b: c}').css;
compiler.dispose();

// throws error
constresult3 = sass.compileString('a {b: c}').css;
}
