Harnessing the Power of Sass JINA BOLTON // PRODUCT DESIGNER
// DO SALESFORCE UX MEETUP
WORK BETTER, TOGETHER
“A fractured process makes for a fractured user experience.” —NATE
FORTIN
“It used to be that designers made an object and
walked away. Today the emphasis must shift to designing the entire life cycle.” —PAUL SAFFO
Creating pages
Creating systems
CSS Preprocessors: SCRIPTING LANGUAGES THAT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AUTHORING FUNCTIONALITY TO
CSS.
Stylus
sass-lang.com
Better maintainability DRYer development Patterns & Proportions
Nesting USE (CAREFULLY) TO AVOID REPETITION
Output ul.items a ... &:hover ... .ie-6 & ... ul.items
a { ... } ul.items:hover { ... } .ie-6 ul.items a { ... } Sass
Output ul.items a ... @media print ... ul.items { ...
} @media print { ul.items { ... } } Sass
Output .sidebar border: 1px solid #eee top-color: #fff left: 0
.sidebar { border: 1px solid #eee; border-top-color: #fff; border-left: 0; } Sass
Nesting more than 3 levels deep? Refactor.
Variables STORE COMMON ATTRIBUTES FOR MAINTAINABILITY
Output $text: #444 $bg: $text body color: $text footer background:
$bg body { color: #444; } footer { background: #444; } Sass
Mixins STORE REUSABLE CODE & PASS ARGUMENTS FOR OVERRIDES
Output =mod($txt: #ccc) background: #111 color: $txt body +mod h1
+mod(#888) body { background: #111; color: #ccc; } h1 { background: #111; color: #888; } Sass
Extend CHAIN SELECTORS TOGETHER
Output .message padding: 1em a color: #369 .error @extend .message
color: #eee .message, .error { padding: 1em; } .message a, .error a { color: #369; } .error { color: #eee; } Sass
Placeholder Selectors CREATE SILENT CLASSES THAT DON’T GET OUTPUT
Output %grid-1 width: 240px %grid-2 width: 480px .content @extend %grid-1
color: #369 .main @extend %grid-1 background: #eee .content, .main { width: 240px; } .content { color: #369; } .main { background: #eee; } Sass

Style Guides + Sass go together perfectly.

CODE STYLES DOCUMENTED AS YOU GO

Color MAINTAINABILITY WITH SASS & STYLE GUIDES
Create a simple color palette. Use Sass to make variations.
$x: #369 $y: #fff .a color: lighten($x, 5%) .b color:
darken($x, 5%) .c color: saturate($x, 5%) .e color: mix($x, $y)
Use your Sass variables to generate a living color palette
in your style guide.
Make variables for common pairings of colors & Sass color
functions, and document it.

_header.sass $black: #000 $grey: #eee $white: invert($black) $h-bg-color: $black $h-text-color:
$grey $h-link-color: $white _colors.sass
sassme.arc90.com
Make mixins for common pairings of background, text, & shadow
colors.
Typography CREATE A SMART SYSTEM
Choose a standard base unit. 4 is good; it multiplies
into 8, 12, 16, etc.
Create mixins for your various type styles. Small and all
caps, big quote styles, etc. Document them.
Don’t try to refactor and document everything at once. You’ll
likely give up.
Do refactor & document going forward, in iterations.
“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you
may be violent and original in your work.” —GUSTAVE FLAUBERT
