Sass-Syntactically Awesome StyleSheets

Creating websites with CSS have always been challenging, and with the complex & large style sheets, it is not easy to maintain. So in order to make it more effectual, Sass came in the picture which is a CSS preprocessor, which forms the connection between the server files of web browser & style- sheets which we write. Sass (Syntactically awesome style sheets) will ease the writing of a DRY code in an efficient & fast manner, which can be managed easily.

To be specific, Sass is an extension to the syntaxes of CSS3 & SCSS (Sassy CSS), enabling some of the features like mixins, variables, nesting, inheritance & many more which are not easily found in case of normal CSS. After the complete installation of Sass, we are able to access the entire directories as well as the individual files. With the use of Compass Style Library, Sass can run small stylesheets swiftly & maintain the large style-sheets in an organized manner.

Feel free to configure Sass for your website with the easy sass install with the help of our Sass Developer .

Essential Features of Sass:

1)      Variables: The variables are helpful for storing the reusable information like font stacks, colors or any other CSS value, which are made as Variable with the symbol of “$”. So for an instance when we are processing Sass for some brand colors (using syntaxes like $font-stack & $ primary-color), we can easily set the colors of the elements, which will remain consistent throughout the style-sheet.

2)      Nesting: CSS differs from HTML in a clear cut manner in the terms of visible hierarchy & clean nesting. This is now tackled with Sass that can nest your CSS selectors in a hierarchical manner, whereas care is advised for over-qualified CSS, that is not easy to manage. So while doing the nesting, we need to assure that the CSS is organized in a readable manner.

3)      Partials: We can also create partial Sass files for code snippets of CSS, which might be used for other Sass files as well. It can be named with a leading underscore like _partial.scss, which will let Sass identify it as a partial file.

4)      Import: While using the import option in CSS for making files get fragmented into maintainable parts, we do get a separate HTTP request. This thing is combated in Sass, which do not require HTTP request & directly the importing file making one single CSS file. Sass partials used with import directive will generate HTTP request, so care is advised over the inputs required.

5)      Mixins: Mixins are helpful when we wish to make the conglomerate of user declarations that can be used throughout the site, and preferable used for prefixes of vendors. Values can be passed to enhance its flexibility. @mixin directive is used for creating the mixin & then assigning the name.

How to use Sass Mixins  for your projects, can be asked freely from our Sass experts.

6)      Extend/Inheritance: A set of CSS properties can be easily shared from one CSS selector to another with @extend directive. This will provide a DRY Sass, avoiding the writing of multiple class names over HTML elements.

7)      Operators: Sass offers some standard operators of math like +, -, *, /, & %. We can also convert the pixel values into percentage with the help of Sass. Some built-in functions like floor(), round(), can assist in manipulating the numbers.
