How to write reusable CSS with SASS
Blog post from LogRocket
Sass, a popular CSS preprocessor, addresses several limitations of traditional CSS by introducing features such as nesting, mixins, and variables, which help streamline and organize complex style sheets. It forms the foundation of frameworks like Bootstrap 4 and offers a more logical approach to styling modern web components than conventional CSS, which often results in redundancy and cumbersome global styles. The introduction of SCSS syntax in Sass version 3 simplifies the learning curve by mirroring CSS's syntax, thereby increasing accessibility for developers. Sass preprocessors allow for the composition of reusable style rules and functions, enhancing maintainability and reducing the need for repetitive code, while also enabling conditional styling through control flow features. The article emphasizes the importance of using preprocessors like Sass to create more efficient, scalable, and manageable codebases for contemporary web development projects.
