Sass

What is Sass?

Sass is a powerful stylesheet language that extends the capabilities of CSS3, providing a rich set of features to enhance the development and maintenance of complex web projects. It introduces a scripting language called SassScript, which allows for the integration of advanced programming concepts like variables, nested rules, mixins, and selector inheritance. Sass offers two distinct syntaxes: the original "indented syntax" with a Haml-like structure, and the more recent "SCSS" syntax, which aligns with the block formatting of standard CSS. When the Sass interpreter processes a .sass or .scss file, it translates the SassScript into well-structured CSS, either generating an output .css file or seamlessly integrating the styles into the web application

Highlights

• Variables: Sass allows the definition and usage of reusable values, such as colors, font sizes, or layout dimensions, across the codebase
• Nesting: Sass enables the nesting of selectors, mirroring the hierarchical structure of HTML, which can lead to more concise and organized stylesheets
• Mixins: Sass provides the ability to define reusable blocks of CSS declarations, which can be included and customized throughout the project
• Selector Inheritance: Sass allows selectors to inherit the styles of other selectors, reducing code duplication and promoting consistency.
