Design must be useful, aesthetic, discrete, lasting, useful. Most importantly,
good design must be as little as possible.

Sass Me up
OMG WTH IS SASS?
None
No.
Sass is an extension of CSS3 which adds nested rules,
variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. Sass generates well formatted CSS and makes your stylesheets easier to organize and maintain.
A computer program that modifies data to conform with the
input requirements of another program.

$siteBg = #B9C1C7 $labelBg = #02ADEA $moduleClr = #AEAFB0

NESTING
.photo-details.active h4 .select { width: 236px; }
.photo-details display: none &.active display: block h4 color: $blue font-size:

v EXtending
v Abstract Classes or Placeholders %
%sidebar-box margin: 0 0 10px 0 background: $bg padding: 10px
.sidebar-auth-box @extend %sidebar-box input[type=text] padding: 10px border: 1px solid #ccc
http://bit.ly/sass-extend
Simple, right?
MIXxxINS
Mixins output code instead of returning a result
@mixin underline-on-hover() text-decoration: none &:hover text-decoration: underline
=underline-on-hover( ) text-decoration: none &:hover text-decoration: underline
a:link color: $active background: $buttonBg padding: 5px 10px +underline-on-hover
String Interpolation in CSS?
HELL YES
=vendorize($property, $value) -webkit-#{$property}: $value -moz-#{$property}: $value -ms-#{$property}: $value -o-#{$property}: $value
#{$property}: $value
+vendorize(appearance, none)
+vendorize(appearance, none) +vendorize(box-sizing, border-box)
v =group( ) &:before, &:after content: "\0020" display: block height:
0 overflow: hidden &:after clear: both
v Know what? We could have done that a better
way.
v %clearfix:before, &:after content: "\0020" display: block height: 0 overflow:
hidden &:after clear: both
v Boom
v CONTROL Directives
v FunctionS
v A function is very similar to a mixin, however
the output from a function is a single value.
@function add($x, $y) @return $x + $y
v .my-module padding: add(10px, 5px)
.my-module padding: add(10px, 5px) @function add($x, $y) @return $x +
$y ...

Reusable LOGIC
There are functions for colour, too!
$base: #2c3e50 darken($base, 8%) lighten($base, 8%) saturate(%base, 20%) desaturate(%base, 20%)
adjust-hue($base, 20%) rgba($base, .5) tint($base, 10%) shade($base, 10%)
http://bit.ly/sass-colour
IFELSE
The @if directive takes a condition to evaluate and returns
the nested styles if the condition is truthy (not false or null). Specifying what to return if the condition is falsey can be done using the @else statement.
http://bit.ly/sass-ifelse
[at]EACH
The @each directive takes the form @each $var in <list>
$var can be any variable name, and <list> is a SassScript expression that returns a list
http://bit.ly/sass-each
MEDIa Queries
None
None
Yes, media queries can actually be simple!
http://bit.ly/sass-media
Still, we shouldn’t be spending our time writing mixins and
extending all over the place. There’s gotta be something better.
