Let's Learn About SASS

sass:

SASS is a pre-processor of CSS. The code is most beautiful and optimized when using it. SASS is written without curly brackets [{}], SCSS is written with curly brackets [{}].

Mainly SASS can be installed in two ways.

  • LIVE SASS COMPILER.
  • node package modules (NPM).

If you do it with the best NPM and with COMPILER, it will not issue browser support.

Now let's see how to install SASS?

first Method:

First come the compiler, now the code editor VS Code is very popular for coding. Go to its extension and install LIVE SASS COMPILER. Then create a file, create html and SASS file and turn on LIVE SASS COMPILER.

The second method is:

With Node Package Module (NPM):
First you have to go to the terminal and select the correct file.
You have to give the command


> npm init - Enter
> npm install / i sass -D (developer) Enter
"liveSassCompile.settings.generateMap": false,
"liveSassCompile.settings.formats": [
{
"Format":"expanded",
or
"format":"compressed",
"extensionName": ".css",
"savePath":"/sass"
}
],
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Go to the format option [compressed]> convert the code into a small file / [expanded]> the code will show the output exactly as it is written.
Once installed, go to the Jason file and type in the crypt option ("...")

Another is to extract the SASS file from the settings and set them there.

"scripts": {
"compile-sass": "sass style.scss style.css -style compiler --watch --no-source-map"
},
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

When you go to see the code manually you have to give the command in the terminal, when the code changes you have to give the command every time to see which is very paramatman. A nice solution is to turn on the WATCH option. For that, the crypt file first has SASS which refers to the main topic then there is the name of the compiler (you can name it as you like)> then when the code is compiled its place> there is code to indicate that it will not be compressed or expanded> atchwatch which makes the code live> No source map commands.

(--watch)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you want to SASS beautifully, you have to learn these:

  1. Variable
  2. Operators
  3. Extension / Inheritance
  4. Rules
  5. Value
  6. Modules
  7. Nesting
  8. Mixin
  9. Much more
