Searched but can't find an answer..
I have an element which gets generated (by an external platform) with the following classes: p-button and button.
Now the SCSS is like this:
.p-button {
&.button {
margin: 10px;
}
}
But I want to refactor using mixin includes (this is a big project so there is no other way of making this code better except using mixins). The mixin takes the given selector and applies a . to it. I can't change the mixin, as it is used by many other teams, so I can't pass the ampersand together with the selector. I tried this:
.p-button {
& {
#include button-appearance("button") {
margin: 10px;
}
}
}
But that doesn't work (puts a space between it). You can't do this:
.p-button {
&#include button-appearance("button") {
margin: 10px;
}
}
Anyone have a clue?
EDIT: Here is the mixin
#mixin button-appearance(
$appearance-class,
$show,
$background-color,
$background-image,
$background-position) {
$sel: $button-selector;
#if $appearance-class {
$sel: $sel + '.' + $appearance-class;
}
#{$sel} {
#include normalized-background-image($background-image);
#include show($show);
background-color: $background-color;
background-position: $background-position;
}
#content;
}
EDIT 2: Here is the $button-selector (I can not edit this in the platform, but maybe overwrite it in my own project?)
$button-class: 'p-button';
$button-selector: '.#{$button-class}';
Everyone, finally found the solution. I just removed the &.button from the .p-button mixin include and now it works:
#include button-appearance ("button") { *styles* }
#include button-appearance () { *styles* }
Edited the answer after the original question was edited adding the used and un modifiable mixin
The original mixin does not append the ‘#content’ passed to the mixin to the generated selector. So if you cannot modify the original mixin, the only way is to add your properties outside the mixin. According to the mixin the selector will match a predefined ‘$button-selector’ variable, so it won’t use your class.
So, if you want to use the same class defined in ‘$button-class’, try the following:
#{$button-selector}.button {
margin: 10px;
}
Will output:
.p-button.button {
margin: 10px;
}

Suppose I have the following scss variables:
$until-xs: "(max-width: 377px)";
$until-sm: "(max-width: 640px)";
...
$until-xl: "(max-width: 4000px)";
And based on them the following helper css classes are constructed:
.until-sm {
display: none;
#media #{$until-xs} {
display: block !important;
}
}
.until-md {
display: none !important;
#media #{$until-sm} {
display: block !important;
}
}
/* plus a lot of classes like this */
I am trying to create a mixin that would help me define those classes more easily by passing the $until-x variable as an input to the mixin, like so:
#mixin until($x) {
display: none;
#media #{'$until-'#{$x}} {
display: block !important;
}
}
Such that the classes above will be defined simply as:
.until-xs { #include until($until-xs); }
The problem is the media variable inlining part does not evaluate the way I wanted, like:
#{'$until-'#{$x}} (when x is 'xs') =>
#{'$until-xs'} =>
#{$until-xs} =>
(max-width: 377px)
Any way I can achieve this? Since this can be applied in multiple places in my project I am more interested in the possibility of inlining vars like this than the solution to the particular problem from the example.
Instead of defining lots of variables like $until-xs, $until-sm and so on, you can define a map that contains information of your medias like the code below:
#use "sass:map";
$until-var: ("xs": "(max-width: 377px)", "sm": "(max-width: 620px)", "md": "(max-width: 807px)");
#mixin until($x) {
display: none;
#media #{map.get($until-var, $x)} {
display: block !important;
}
}
/* using that in your classes */
.until-xs { #include until("xs"); }
.until-sm { #include until("sm"); }
I'm not sure what you mean by inlining vars! But if you want a single mixin that works for different medias, I think that works.
I have the following SASS rules:
p {
margin: 0;
}
#include desktop() {
p {
margin: 0;
}
}
The mixin is like this:
#mixin desktop() {
#media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
#content;
}
}
Elsewhere in the codebase there's a margin being set on desktop, hence in this case I need to explicitly remove it on the desktop breakpoint too, just having the first p selector rule doesn't cut it.
Is there a neat way to combine the selectors as it feels verbose having the same margin: 0 rule twice? I realise there's probably something more fundamentally wrong here with the inheritance, but that's outside the scope of the question. I don't want to use !important.
Many thanks.
Is there a neat way to combine the selectors? Sure there is… Just use another mixin:
#mixin para {
p {
margin: 0;
}
}
#include para;
#include desktop {
#include para;
}
You clearly already know how to use mixins, so I'm assuming your question is really about whether you can nest one mixin within another (yes), or whether you can include selectors within a mixin (yes).
I have Bootstrap 3.3.7 and custom scss files.
I want to override $grid-float-breakpoint only once before #extend evaluates. Right now I have 3 classes which extend base bootstrap class (they use default value, so i don't want to mess with them).
In doc when using mixins and include it's possible. Is it possible using .class and #extend?
I'm looking for something like
$foo : 1px;
.normal-class {
font-size: $foo;
}
.extended-normal-class {
#extend .normal-class;
font-color: yellow;
}
-- This is what I'm trying to do: ---------------------
.override-class {
$foo: 3px;
#extend .normal-class;
// font-size in this class after compile should have 3px;
}
To achiev what you need, you must use #mixin instead of #extend, heres follow an example:
#mixin size($size: 1px){
font-size: $size;
}
.extended-normal-class{
#include size();
}
.override-class{
#include size(3px);
}
I'm trying to get SASS to do something akin to an abstract superclass in programming. I'm getting as far as the superclass part
.box {
#include span-columns(1);
#include border-radius(5px);
height: 360px;
overflow: hidden;
}
article {
#extend .box;
}
figure {
#extend .box;
}
This is a way to define commonalities of boxes without duplicating them in the generated CSS, as would happen with a mixin. However, this solution has the blemish of defining a rule for a (CSS) class "box" that I don't really need and want.
To be sure, this is a minor issue, still I'd like to know if there is a way to make ".box" into a label that is only used during SASS preprocessing and does not appear in CSS.
You want to define your "superclass" using a % instead of a .
%box {
#include span-columns(1);
#include border-radius(5px);
height: 360px;
overflow: hidden;
}
article {
#extend %box;
}
figure {
#extend %box;
}
Note that this requires version 3.2+
I'm using
.w400 {
width: 400px;
}
.w110 {
width: 110px;
}
.w600 {
width: 600px;
}
is it possible to make dynamic class with sass?
something like
.w(size) {
width: size+px
}
If you want to be able to use arbitrary .w(something) classes, I believe (see below) that is not possible with Sass. However, if you know beforehand what sizes you need, you could use mixins with arguments to generate the classes. Something like this:
#mixin width-class($size) {
.w#{$size} {
width: $size * 1px;
}
}
You would use it like this:
#include width-class(400);
#include width-class(110);
This generates the following CSS:
.w400 {
width: 400px; }
.w110 {
width: 110px; }
Now, if you want to avoid writing a new #include line for each of the classes, you can create another mixins (or combine the two mixins into one):
#mixin dynwidths($size-list) {
#each $size in $size-list {
#include width-class($size)
}
}
Now you can pass it a list of widths. This generates the same CSS as above:
#include width-classes(400 110);
Note: This is just a guess, but wildcard class names might be possible by extending Sass with Ruby. However, I'm not sure if this is a desirable feature.
