In order to use Hugo Pipes function on an asset file containing Go Template magic the function `resources.ExecuteAsTemplate` must be used.
The function takes three arguments, the resource object, the resource target path and the template context.
```go-html-template
// assets/sass/template.scss
$backgroundColor: {{ .Param "backgroundColor" }};
$textColor: {{ .Param "textColor" }};
body{
background-color:$backgroundColor;
color: $textColor;
}
// [...]
```
```go-html-template
{{ $sassTemplate := resources.Get "sass/template.scss" }}
{{ $style := $sassTemplate | resources.ExecuteAsTemplate "main.scss" . | resources.ToCSS }}
```
