When to use MIXIN?
Better way to use MIXIN is when you deal with browser prefiex, for example:
@mixin transition($val...){ -webkit-transition: $val; -moz-transition: $val; transition: $val; }
Because when you use mixin, actually you just copy the mixin to the another css class, it is not efficent way to wirte css.
But if use it with browser prefix, it can save your typing and you can pass in variable, make it more dynamic.
Notice: $val..., the reason to use ... is because somtime you will passin the value like:
color 0.3s ease-in, background-color 0.5s ease-out
You have , inside, it will casuse problem if you don't give ... after $val.
There is another way to use ...
@mixin button($radius, $color){ border-radius: $radius; color: $color; } $props = "4px, #ccc"; .btn-a { @include button($props...) }
Sass is smart enought to set $radius to 4px and color to #ccc. But you need to make sure the order is correct.
Default value:
.mtn-select{ @include field-border($top: 'top', $right: 'right', $bottom: '', $left:'left'); @include filed-validation; @include filed-common; margin-top: 0px; & .md-select-icon{ margin-right: 18px; } }
@mixin field-border($top:top, $right:right, $bottom:bottom, $left:left){ border-#{$top}: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important; border-#{$left}: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important; border-#{$right}: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important; border-#{$bottom}: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important; }
INCLUDE
We've identified a set of properties that commonly appear in our stylesheet (sometimes with minor tweaks). Let's streamline the process of using these values by adding the commented lines to a mixin called assemble
, then calling that mixin in .factory
and.highrise
.
// background: #fff; // border: 1px solid #ccc; // padding: 10px; @mixin assemble{ background: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .factory { @include assemble } .highrise { @include assemble }
ARGUMENT
That's a good start, but we need the ability to change the background color. Alter the mixin to take an argument called $bg
, which should then be set as the value of the background
property. Pass#fff
in for .factory
and #797979
in for .highrise
.
@mixin assemble { background: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble; }
Answer:
@mixin assemble($bg) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .factory { @include assemble(#fff); } .highrise { @include assemble(#797979); }
DEFAULT ARGUMENT
The background color for declarations using assemble
will most often be #fff
. Add a default value to the $bg
argument to reflect this discovery. Note: once the default value is set, remember to update your .factory
@include
.
@mixin assemble($bg) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .factory { @include assemble(#fff); } .highrise { @include assemble(#797979); }
Answer:
@mixin assemble($bg:#fff) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble(#797979); }
MULTIPLE ARGUMENTS
Some elements also need a nonstandard amount of padding. Create a second argument, $pad
, with a default value of 10px
. .factory
uses the default value, but .highrise
should have 20px
of padding on all sides.
@mixin assemble($bg: #fff) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble(#797979); }
Answer:
@mixin assemble($bg: #fff , $pad:10px) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: $pad; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble(#797979, 20px); }
KEYWORD ARGUMENTS
Given the number of people collaborating on this stylesheet, we should make the mixin call as clear as possible. Add $bg:
and $pad:
to the .highrise
@include
arguments, creating keyword arguments.
@mixin assemble($bg: #fff, $pad: 10px) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: $pad; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble(#797979, 20px); }
Answer:
@mixin assemble($bg: #fff, $pad: 10px) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: $pad; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble($bg: #797979, $pad: 20px); }
INTERPOLATING ARGUMENTS
A change request just came in: the border should only apply to one side of these elements. Add a required argument $side
to the mixin and interpolate that value to the border property (passingleft
as $side
should create border-left: 1px solid #ccc
, for instance). .factory
borders should be on the left side, .highrise
borders on the right. As a reminder, arguments without default values need to come before arguments with default values.
@mixin assemble($bg: #fff, $pad: 10px) { background: $bg; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: $pad; } .factory { @include assemble; } .highrise { @include assemble($bg: #797979, $pad: 20px); }
Answer:
@mixin assemble($side, $bg: #fff, $pad: 10px) { background: $bg; border-#{$side}: 1px solid #ccc; padding: $pad; } .factory { @include assemble(left); } .highrise { @include assemble(right, $bg: #797979, $pad: 20px); }
VARIABLE ARGUMENTS
We're attempting to pass a comma-separated box-shadow
value into our mixin as an argument, but we keep getting an error about the number of arguments. Alter $shadow
to be a variable argument and accept the value below.
@mixin modal($shadow) { box-shadow: $shadow; border: 1px solid #ccc; } .modal { @include modal(inset 0 0 5px #000, 0 2px 5px #000); }
Answer:
@mixin modal($shadow...) { box-shadow: $shadow; border: 1px solid #ccc; } .modal { @include modal(inset 0 0 5px #000, 0 2px 5px #000); }
