SASS vs CSS

SASS (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets) is an extension of CSS that is compiled into CSS SASS extends on CSS by adding variables, mixins, and nesting.

Given this HTML segment

<div>
    <h1>
        <h2>
            <span>Really Nested</span>
        </h2>
    </h1>
    <h1>
        <h2>
            <span>Really Nested again</span>
        </h2>
    </h1>
</div>     

In CSS the stylesheet could be
<style>
div { 
 background color:green;
}

div h1
{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}

div h1 h2
{
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}

div h1 h2 span
{
color:green;
}
</style>
# The CSS in SASS Equivalent
//sass variables
$color: green;
$header-display: white;

div
{
    //sass nesting
    background-color:$color;
    h1
    {
        display:$header-display;
        justify-content:center;
        h2
        {
            display: $header-display;
            align-items: center;
            span
            {
                color:$color;
            }
        }
    }
}
# Mixin

Mixins allow for resuable code in SASS

// Mixins are just like functions. They are declared with the mixin directive and can take arguments
@mixin border-radius($radius) {
    border-radius: $radius;
}
// We can use the mixin to reduce complexity in our code
.box {
    @include border-radius(10px);
}
