Compile Sass on Server Start

[andydlindsay]

• Use concurrently to start sass in watch mode and run nodemon
• Bump packages to latest versions except concurrently and chalk as the latest versions aren't compatible with older Node versions and/or CommonJS syntax
• Tested with Node versions 14, 16, and 18

Sounds great! A little over engineered (is that for the purpose of showing them more helper function actions?)

I don't think there's any learning outcomes from this code. This PR is trying to simplify the process of how/when the SCSS gets compiled. The student will not need to edit or understand this code to make their project work.

Are there suggestions to simplify this code?

I was thinking of just using plain sass --watch + nodemon with a package like concurently (https://github.com/open-cli-tools/concurrently)

• add concurently to dependencies
• npm run server => nodemon ./bin/www
• npm run sass => sass --watch ./styles ./public/styles
• npm run dev => concurrently "npm:server" "npm:sass"

Looks good and tested locally!
