ReferenceError: neat is not defined - gulp

Question

While running gulp sass
var gulp = require('gulp');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var notify = require('gulp-notify');
var minifycss = require('gulp-minify-css');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
var reload = browserSync.reload;
/* Setup scss path */
var paths = {
scss: './assets/sass/*.scss'
};
/* Sass task */
gulp.task('sass', function () {
gulp.src('assets/scss/main.scss')
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(sass({
includePaths: ['scss'].concat(neat)
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css'))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(minifycss())
.pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css'))
/* Reload the browser CSS after every change */
.pipe(reload({stream:true}));
});
I get error " ReferenceError: neat is not defined". Since "neat" is not defined variable. It should be replaced.
Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

includePaths: ['scss'].concat(neat)
where did you defined neat variable ??

Answer 2

var neat = require('node-neat').includePaths;
and then
includePaths: ['styles'].concat(neat)

Answer 3

maybe
var neat = require('node-neat').includePaths;
and then
includePaths: ['styles'].concat(neat)
??
var gulp = require('gulp');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
gulp.task('sass', function () {
gulp.src('path/to/input.scss')
.pipe(sass({
// includePaths: require('node-neat').with('other/path', 'another/path')
// - or -
includePaths: require('node-neat').includePaths
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('path/to/output.css'));
});
the doc on https://github.com/sass/node-sass
say
includePaths
Type: Array<String>
Default: []
An array of paths that LibSass can look in to attempt to resolve your
#import declarations. When using data, it is recommended that you use
this.
so this whould work ??
var path = require('path');
gulp.task('sass', function () {
gulp.src('assets/scss/main.scss')
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(sass({
includePaths: [path.resolve('./assets/sass')]
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css'))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(minifycss())
.pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css'))
/* Reload the browser CSS after every change */
.pipe(reload({stream:true}));
});
