I'm trying to compile my sass with node-sass using the following script in my package.json:

"node-sass": "node-sass --output-style compressed 'src/scss/styles.scss' 'dist/css/bundle.min.css'",

My styles.scss:

@import "bourbon";
@import "neat";

body {background: red;}

But when I run npm run node-sass I get the following error:

  "formatted": "Error: File to import not found or unreadable: bourbon\n       Parent style sheet: /Users/deangibson/Desktop/personal_site/src/scss/styles.scss\n        on line 1 of src/scss/styles.scss\n>> @import \"bourbon\";\n   ^\n",
  "message": "File to import not found or unreadable: bourbon\nParent style sheet: /Users/deangibson/Desktop/personal_site/src/scss/styles.scss",
  "column": 1,
  "line": 1,
  "file": "/Users/deangibson/Desktop/personal_site/src/scss/styles.scss",
  "status": 1
}

My project structure looks like this:

Shouldn't node just automatically check in the node_modules when it comes to dependencies? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here...

Yes, node does automatically look for stuff you require in your JavaScript files from node_modules. You are however executing a command-line app node-sass and it does not do that.

You can provide --include-path to node-sass command line app like this (multiline for readability, needs to be on single line in package.json)

node-sass 
  --output-style compressed 
  --include-path node_modules/bourbon/app/assets/stylesheets/ 
  --include-path node_modules/bourbon-neat/app/assets/stylesheets/ 
  'src/scss/styles.scss' 
  'dist/css/bundle.min.css'

If you write a render JavaScript file that is executed with node you can setup the includePath by merging the arrays exported by the bourbon modules when you require them.
