🎨 Introduction to SASS (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets)

SASS is a powerful CSS preprocessor that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features like variables, nesting, mixins, functions, and more — making stylesheets cleaner, reusable, and easier to maintain.

✨ Why Use SASS?

• Helps keep your code organized
• Reduces repetition using variables and mixins
• Encourages the use of modular CSS
• Faster styling and easier maintenance

🛠️ Syntax Example

// SASS (SCSS Syntax) $primary-color: #007bff;
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #f8f9fa;

h1 {
color: $primary-color;
font-size: 28px;
}
}

📦 Output CSS (after compilation)

body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f8f9fa; } body h1 { color: #007bff; font-size: 28px; } 

🚀 Getting Started with SASS

You need to install SASS to compile .scss files into .css files. You can use:

• Node.js: npm install -g sass
• Command Line: sass input.scss output.css
• Build Tools: Integrate with tools like Webpack, Gulp, or use VSCode extensions

🔍 Features You'll Love

• Variables - Define and reuse colors, sizes, etc.
• Nesting - Write nested CSS just like HTML structure
• Partials - Split CSS into smaller, manageable files
• Mixins - Reuse styles like functions
• Inheritance - Use @extend to reuse rules

💡 Pro Tip

🧠 Summary

• SASS is a preprocessor for writing smarter CSS
• Supports features not available in vanilla CSS
• Compiled into regular CSS for browser usage
• Boosts productivity and keeps code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
