ul.items { ... } @media print { ul.items { ...
} } Output: SCSS: ul.items a { ... @media print { ... } }
.sidebar { border: 1px solid #eee; border-top-color: #fff; border-left: 0;
} Output: SCSS: .sidebar { border: 1px solid #eee { top-color: #fff; left: 0; } }

Output: SCSS: $text: #444; $bg: $text; body { color: $text; } footer { background: $bg; }
Mixins & Extend
.module { padding: 1em; } .info { padding: 2em }
Output: SCSS: @mixin spacing($s: 1em) { padding: $s; } .module { @include spacing; } .info { @include spacing(2em); }
.message, .error { ... } .message.alert, .error.alert { ... }
.error { ... } Output: SCSS: .message { ... &.alert { ... } } .error { ... @extend .message; }
Placeholder Selectors
.module, .sidebar { color: #444; } .sidebar, .main { width:
240px; } Output: SCSS: .module { color: #444; } %grid-1 { width: 240px; } .sidebar { @extend .module; @extend %grid-1; } .main { @extend %grid-1; }
Color Functions
$text: #444 color: lighten($text, 5%); color: darken($text, 5%); color: saturate($text,
5%); color: adjust-hue($text, 180); color: grayscale($text); color: mix($text, #fff);

Multiline comment; appears in output */ // Singleline comment; // Hidden from output
Operations
body { font-size: 24px; } Output: SCSS: $size: 12px; body
{ font-size: $size * 2; }
Functions
.i-red { background: url(red.png); } .i-blue { background: url(blue.png); }
Output: SCSS: @each $c in red, blue { .i-#{$c} { background: url(#{$c}.png); } }
.i-red { color: red; } .i-blue { color: blue; }
Output: SCSS: @mixin i($color) { @if $color == red { color: red; } @else { color: blue; } } .i-red { @include i(red); } .i-blue { @include i; }
Error Reporting
First Variables. Then Mixins. Then @extend. Then more advanced stuff!
Start with baby steps
Stay organized
Clarity is beautiful.
Clarity > Brevity
If you’re nesting more than 3 levels deep, you’re probably
doing something wrong.
