Sass: Declarations may only be used within style rules - sass

I am getting a sass error: Declarations may only be used within style rules.
╷
32 │ #{$property}: $value;
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for the following file:
#mixin theme($colour, $texture: null) {
$theme: map-get-strict($themes, $colour, "theme");
#if ($texture) {
#include getTexture($texture);
}
#each $property, $value in $theme {
#{$property}: $value;
}
}
This is using dart-sass.
I think it might be a Sass test file that is causing the issue, e.g.:
#include it('outputs the light-blue theme') {
#include assert {
#include output {
#include theme(light-blue);
}
#include expect {
background-color: getColour(light-blue);
color: getColour(black);
}
}
}

Declarations may only be used within style rules.
You can only use declarations within style rules. This means if you have a mixin which contains declarations
E.g.:
#mixin foo() {
color: #000;
}
you can only include it within a style rule.
E.g.:
.bar {
#include foo();
}
This helps to ensure that the compiled CSS is free of errors.
color: #000;
.bar {
color: #000;
}

SASS mixin to include code block depending on whether body has class (or grand parent)

I'm trying to create a mixin that allows me to write code blocks flexibly depending on whether body has a certain class.
#mixin when($class) {
body.#{$class} & {
#content;
}
}
Use Cases
#hero {
#include when('theme--dark') {
span {
content: 'Good Evening';
}
}
}
#hero {
#include when('page-landing') {
button.cta {
padding: 3rem 5rem;
font-size: 3rem;
background-color: $green;
}
}
}
even better if the following can be achieved
#mixin when($parent, $class) {
#{$parent}.#{$class} & {
#content;
}
}
#hero {
#include when('body','page-landing') {
button.cta {
padding: 3rem 5rem;
font-size: 3rem;
background-color: $green;
}
}
}
non of the previous codes work, not even certain of the syntax but wondering if something similar can be produced, any help is appreciated thanks!
Though your approach is absolutely fine, here is a slightly cleaner implementation, that grants a little more flexibilty when it comes to the number of selectors you want to check for.
#mixin when($selectors...) {
$n: "";
#each $selector in $selectors {
$n: str-insert($n, "#{$selector}", str-length($n) + 1);
}
#{$n} {
#content;
}
}
#hero {
#include when('body', '[dark-mode=true]', '.primary') {
color: #fff;
}
}

SASS: meta.load-css <without selector>

I'm trying make a module like this:
button, .btn {
#include meta.load-css("theme");
&:hover {
#include meta.load-css("theme-hover");
}
}
theme-hover.scss
selector {
background-color: red;
}
the theme-hover.scss should not have any selector like this:
background-color: red;
but without selector the scss compiler refuses the code.
I tried using > & { ... } and &:not(suck) { ... } but none of them succeeded.
any solution?
You can avoid this by wrapping the CSS code in #mixin, which will be made accessible by the #use and #include instead of the #use "sass:meta"; and #include meta.load-css() rule.
// _module.scss
#mixin foo {
foo: foo;
}
// main.scss
#use "module";
.bar {
&:bar {
#include module.foo;
}
}
// main.css
.bar:bar {
foo: foo;
}

call sass mixins from sass functions

I have a sass mixin that generates the selector name:
#mixin rocks($name){
#{$name}-rocks {
#content;
}
}
called by invoking the mixin:
#include rocks(dave){
color: red;
}
I'd like to create a custom function that calls this mixin for me, to shorten the syntax down to:
rocks(dave){
color: red;
}
Is it possible to 1. call sass #functions outside of a selector? and 2. Invoke mixins from it? Something along the lines of:
#function rocks($name){
#include #rocks($name)
}
I'd prefer custom sass functions over custom ruby functions if possible. Thanks!
No, and no. Functions in Sass can only return values, they cannot be used to create CSS. That is what mixins are for: create mixins to call other mixins.
#function class($name) {
#return $name;
}
#mixin className($classname) {
.#{class($classname)} {
#content;
}
}
#mixin concatinate($classname2) {
&.#{class($classname2)} {
#content;
}
}
#mixin parent($classname1) {
.#{class($classname1)} & {
#content;
}
}
#mixin withparent($classname1) {
#at-root .#{class($classname1)}#{&} {
#content;
}
}
#include className(red) {
color: red;
#include className(check) {
color: green;
#include concatinate(bcd) {
color: green2;
ul {
li {
color: red;
& {
color: blue;
}
#include withparent(colorwe) {
display: none;
}
}
}
#include parent(efg) {
color: green1;
}
}
}
#include className(blue) {
color: blue;
}
}
#DonaldDuck thanks for the feedback. Personally I think that there is no need to call selectors through mixins, if someone try to do that it will be solved by these mixins used.
e.g.:
//call a class
#include className(one) {
properties..
}//o/p .one { properties..}
//add another class with existing one
#include className(one) {
#include concatinate(two) {
#include className(three) {
properties...
}
}
}//o/p .one.two .three { properties...}
//add parent to hierarchy
#include className(one) {
#include parent(two) {
properties..
}
}//o/p .two .one { properties..}
//add class with top of the hierarchy
#include className(one) {
#include className(two) {
#include withparent(three) {
properties...
}
}
} o/p .one.three .two { properties..}

sass include mixin as a parameter

I want to parametrize sass mixins to the extend that other mixins are passed as a parameters by name expanded inside it.
#mixin c(){color:red}
#mixin view($param){*{#include #{$param}}}
div{#include view}
The 2nd line and variations of it ive tried do not work and I haven't found any way to pass variables into the #include clause
You can try to add some conditions inside mixin:
#mixin test1(){
color: red;
}
#mixin test2(){
color: blue;
}
#mixin view($param){
.test{
#if $param == 'test1'{
#include test1();
}
#if $param == 'test2'{
#include test2();
}
}
}
div{
#include view(test1);
}

Sass Interpolation of Mixin, Function, and Variable names

I'm trying to loop through a list of values in Sass and use interpolation of the current key to dynamically output class names that utilize #include and #extend, respectively.
Here is a pen showing the problem, simplified. http://codepen.io/ghepting/pen/vBmLy
As you can see in the markup, I have tried including the "_" inside of the interpolated string as well as outside of it. Is there something I'm missing to work around this limitation of how Sass supports interpolation?
(Note: the OP's pen has disappeared. This is not the original code found in the pen, but a rough approximation of the problem)
$error-light: red;
$error-dark: darken(red, 10%);
$success-light: green;
$success-dark: darken(green, 10%);
$dialogs: error, success;
#each $d in $dialogs {
.#{$d} {
background: $#{$d}-light;
}
}
Interpolation doesn't work on mixins or variables at this point in time. You'll have to come up with a different way to achieve your goal.
As of Sass 3.3, you can use mappings for this purpose for variables:
$dialogs:
( error:
( light: red
, dark: darken(red, 10%)
)
, success:
( light: green
, dark: darken(green, 10%)
)
);
#each $name, $colors in $dialogs {
.#{$name} {
color: map-get($colors, dark);
}
}
And for functions:
#function green() {
#return lighten(green, 10%);
}
#function red() {
#return lighten(red, 10%);
}
#mixin my-bg($function-name) {
background: call($function-name);
}
.foo {
#include my-bg('red');
}
Alternative workaround (for a particular use case):
https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/mixin#passing-arbitrary-arguments
💡 Fun fact:
Because an argument list keeps track of both positional and keyword arguments, you use it to pass both at once to another mixin. That makes it super easy to define an alias for a mixin!
If you are interested in mixin interpolation because you have a group of mixins, like this:
//_mixins.scss
#mixin text-style-1($args...){ //sass here }
#mixin text-style-2($args...){ //sass here }
#mixin text-style-3($args...){ //sass here }
//_text.scss
.text-style-1 {
#include text-style-1;
}
.text-style-1-contrast {
#include text-style-1($contrast: true);
}
.text-style-2 {
#include text-style-2;
}
.text-style-2-contrast {
#include text-style-2($contrast: true);
}
We can take advantage of passing arbitrary arguments and use an alias for the group:
//_mixins.scss
#mixin text-style-1($args...){ //sass here }
#mixin text-style-2($args...){ //sass here }
#mixin text-style-3($args...){ //sass here }
#mixin text($mixin, $args...) {
#if $mixin == 'style-1' { #include text-style-1($args...); }
#else if $mixin == 'style-2' { #include text-style-2($args...); }
#else if $mixin == 'style-3' { #include text-style-3($args...); }
}
//_text.scss
$text-styles: 'style-1', 'style-2', 'style-3';
#each $style in $text-styles {
.text-#{$style} {
#include text($style);
}
.text-#{$style}-contrast {
#include text($style, $contrast: true);
}
}
Ran into this issue of trying to include an interpolated variable inside a mixin and was able to resolve it with placeholders:
%color-scheme-dark-bg-1 { background-color: #4e5163; }
%color-scheme-dark-color-1 { color: #4e5163 !important; }
%color-scheme-light-bg-1 { background-color: #c7c8ce; }
%color-scheme-dark-bg-2 { background-color: #fd6839; }
%color-scheme-dark-color-2 { color: #fd6839 !important; }
%color-scheme-light-bg-2 { background-color: #fecfc1; }
.card_color {
#mixin CardColorScheme($arg: 1) {
.borderPercent {
#extend %color-scheme-dark-bg-#{$arg};
}
.border {
#extend %color-scheme-light-bg-#{$arg};
}
ul li:before {
#extend %color-scheme-dark-color-#{$arg};
}
.percent {
#extend %color-scheme-dark-color-#{$arg};
}
.heading {
#extend %color-scheme-dark-color-#{$arg};
}
}
&--scheme {
&-1 {
#include CardColorScheme(1);
}
&-2 {
#include CardColorScheme(2);
}
}
}
