Advanced SCSS, or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do

N cool things you may not have known about SCSS

Things you probably knew already...

...but are always worth mentioning, because they're incredibly cool compared to vanilla CSS:

Prefixing parent selector references

Familiar way:

a {
    &:hover {
        color: red;
    }
}

Compiles into:

/* compiled CSS */
a:hover {
  color: red;
}

But can be used with a prefix just as well:

p {
    body.no-touch & {
        display: none;
    }
}

Gives you:

/* compiled CSS */
body.no-touch p {
  display: none;
}

Media query bubbling

Media query nesting

The list data type

Color arithmetic

Defining custom functions

Keyword arguments

Variable interpolation in selectors

...or almost anywhere else, for that matter.

Variable defaults

Extending classes

...with multiple inheritance.

Control directives

Argument defaults for functions/mixins

Variable arguments for functions/mixins

...and expanding and/or extending during further calls.

Content block arguments for mixins

Math (and other) functions

Placeholder selectors
