“Your CSS is a mess.” Jonathan Snook
Your CSS is a mess.
Broken from the start?
Sass to the rescue!
But... wait.
It's not all bright and shiny.
Complexity, maintainability, scary code...
Don't over-{think|engineer}
KISS Keep It Simple, Stupid!
KYSS Keep Your Sass Simple Keep Sass Simple at SitePoint
KYSSS Keep Your Sass Simple & Straightforward
KYSSSS Keep Your Sass Simple, Smart & Straightforward...
Write simple APIs
.parent { @include _( 10 8 6 4, $gutter: alpha
omega omega default ); }
.parent { width: 100%; @include respond-to("desktop") { width: 75%; }
}
$color: map-get( map-get( map-get( $themes, "shopping" ), "colors" ), "secondary"
);
$color: theme-conf( "shopping", "colors", "secondary" );
Beware of selector nesting Beware of selector nesting at SitePoint
Don't do everything in Sass
Rethinking Atwood's law
Anything that can be written in Sass will eventually be
written in Sass (probably by me)
SassyJSON @include json-encode(( "cats" : true, "answer" : 42 ));
// {"cats": true, "answer": 42} github.com/HugoGiraudel/SassyJSON
SassySort $list: sort( "How" "cool" "Sass" "is?" 42 ); //
42 "cool" "How" "is?" "Sass" github.com/HugoGiraudel/SassySort
SassyBitwise $value: bitwise(42 '&' 48); // 32 github.com/HugoGiraudel/SassyBitwise
Some things shouldn't be done
Vendor prefixing? Maybe not.
Autoprefixer Less code Up-to-date github.com/postcss/autoprefixer
REM? Think twice.
px_to_rem Less code Easier github.com/songawee/px_to_rem
None
Clean your code
.selector { color: blue; backgroud: url(unicorn.png); -webkit-transform: rotate(15deg); transform: rotate(15deg);
position: relative }
.selector { position: relative; -webkit-transform: rotate(15deg); transform: rotate(15deg); color: blue;
backgroud: url("unicorn.png"); }
cssguidelin.es
scss-lint github.com/causes/scss-lint
Document your code
.selector { overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; margin: -.5em; z-index: 42;
}
/** * 1. Clear inner floats * 2. Force all
items on same line * 3. Cancel items padding * 4. Above content, below modal */ .selector { overflow: hidden; /* 1 */ white-space: nowrap; /* 2 */ margin: -.5em; /* 3 */ z-index: 42; /* 4 */ }
Document your Sass
SassDoc sassdoc.com
/// Mixin to size an element /// @access public ///
@param {Number} $width - Width /// @param {Number} $height - Height /// @example scss - Sizing an element /// .element { /// @include size(100%, 5em); /// } SassDoc
SassDoc
Test your code
True or BootCamp
@include describe("A suite") { @include it("contains spec with expectation") {
@include should( expect(2 + 2), to(be(4)) ); } } Bootcamp github.com/thejameskyle/bootcamp
KISS - KYSS clean, test, document
And everything will be fine.
Thanks! @HugoGiraudel
