CSS Preprocessors: SASS/SCSS

Key Takeaways

• SASS/SCSS enhances CSS with features like variables, nesting, and mixins, making your code more modular, reusable, and easier to maintain.
• Variables allow you to define reusable values for things like colors, fonts, and spacing.
• Nesting makes your CSS cleaner by allowing you to mirror the structure of your HTML in your styles.
• Mixins and inheritance with @extend help reduce repetitive code, while loops and conditionals let you generate dynamic styles.
• Partials and imports make large stylesheets easier to manage by breaking them into modular components.
• SASS/SCSS must be compiled into standard CSS before it can be used in a web project.
