Sassive AggressiveUsing Sass to make your life easier

Who?Joel Oliveira Adam Darowski Developer, The47th Web Developer, PatientsLikeMe

What is this “Sass”?• CSS on steroids.• Variables, Mixins, Nesting, Inheritance, and more…• Two “ﬂavors” - SASS & SCSS

Compiling?$ sass --watch ./sass/:./css/# all .sass files compiled into ./css$ sass --update sass/style.sass:css/style.css# ... style.sass => style.css

Compiling?... on the what? blech...

Why?• Vendor Preﬁxes• “DRY” - Don’t Repeat Yourself• Instant Compression / Miniﬁcation• Organization - partials (“includes”)• It’s the future - Chrome team already exploring these concepts.

The Goods

CSS3 Mix-ins

.foo { -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px;}

-moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px;}.bar { property: value; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px;}.dude { property: value; property: value; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px;}.guy { property: value; -moz-border-radius: 10px;

When using Sass….foo +border_radius(10px)Will render as:.foo { -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px;}

The mixin:@mixin border_radius($radius) -moz-border-radius: #{$radius} -webkit-border-radius: #{$radius} border-radius: #{$radius}

Another example:.foo +box_shadow(0, 0, 5, #AAA)Will render as:.foo { -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #AAA; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #AAA; box-shadow: 0 0 5px #AAA;}

Or, pre-populate the mixin: @mixin box_shadow($h_offset: 0, $v_offset: 0, -->$blur_radius: 5, $color: #AAA) -moz-box-shadow: #{$h_offset}px #{$v_offset}px -->#{$blur_radius}px #{$color} -webkit-box-shadow: #{$h_offset}px #{$v_offset}px -->#{$blur_radius}px #{$color} box-shadow: #{$h_offset}px #{$v_offset}px -->#{$blur_radius}px #{$color}--> Denotes “not a real line break”

Now, no argument is needed:.foo +box_shadowWill render as:.foo { -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #AAA; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #AAA; box-shadow: 0 0 5px #AAA;}

Or, you can override:.foo +box_shadow(2, 2, 10, #CCC)Will render as:.foo { -moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px #CCC; -webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px #CCC; box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px #CCC;}

Gradients! .foo +box_gradient(#FFFFFF, #000000) Will render as: .foo { background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#000000) background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#000000); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left --> bottom,color-stop(0, #FFFFFF),color-stop(1, #000000)) background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#FFFFFF, -->#000000) background-image: linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, #000000) filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient -->(startColorStr=#FFFFFF, EndColorStr=#000000) }--> Denotes “not a real line break” http://css3please.com/

The mixin: @mixin box_gradient($start,$end) background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #{!start}, -->#{!end}) background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#000000); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left --> bottom,color-stop(0, #{!start}),color-stop(1, -->#{!end})) background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#{!start}, -->#{!end}) background-image: linear-gradient(top, #{!start}, #{!end}) filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient -->(startColorStr=#{!start}, EndColorStr=#{!end})--> Denotes “not a real line break”

.dropdown-inner { -moz-border-radius: 0 3px 3px 3px; -webkit-border-radius: 0 3px 3px 3px; border-radius: 0 3px 3px 3px; -moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px #CCC; -webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px #CCC; box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px #CCC; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#FCF5DE) background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#000000); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left --> bottom,color-stop(0, #FFFFFF),color-stop(1, #FCF5DE)) background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#FFFFFF, -->#FCF5DE) background-image: linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, #FCF5DE) filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient -->(startColorStr=#FFFFFF, EndColorStr=#FCF5DE)}

.dropdown-inner { +border_radius(0 3px 3px 3px -moz-border-radius: 03px 3px) 3px; +box_shadow(1, 1, 4, #CCC) -webkit-border-radius: 0 3px 3px 3px; border-radius: 0 3px 3px 3px; +box_gradient(#FFFFFF, #FCF5DE) -moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px #CCC; -webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px #CCC; box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px #CCC; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#FCF5DE) background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, -->#000000); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left --> bottom,color-stop(0, #FFFFFF),color-stop(1, #FCF5DE)) background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#FFFFFF, -->#FCF5DE) background-image: linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, #FCF5DE) filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient -->(startColorStr=#FFFFFF, EndColorStr=#FCF5DE)}

More with mixins:• Re-usable interface elements (buttons, headers—with or without arguments).• Reset styles (data tables, lists, etc.).• References to frequently-accessed sprites.• Frequently used IE hacks.• Etc.

Organization & Refactoring

“.Class Soup”

Color Manipulation:.gray background-color: fade_out(#000, 0.4)Will render as:.gray { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);}

lighten & darken:.lighter background-color: lighten(#000064, 30%)Will render as:.lighter { background-color: #4B4BFF;}

With a variable:$default_color: #000064.level1 background-color: $default_color.level2 background-color: lighten($default_color, 15%).level3 background-color: lighten($default_color, 30%).level4 background-color: lighten($default_color, 45%).level5 background-color: lighten($default_color, 60%)

With a variable:.level1 { background-color: #000064; }.level2 { background-color: #0000b1; }.level3 { background-color: #0000fd; }.level4 { background-color: #4b4bff; }.level5 { background-color: #9797ff; }

Simple math:$container_width: 1000px$photo_width: 480px.caption width: $container_width - $photo_widthWill render as:.caption { width: 520px;}

ul list-style: none padding: 40px 0 0 margin: 0li cursor: pointer margin: 0 0 5px padding: 0 display: block padding: 2px color: white position: relative

We needpadding-left and width.

The mixin:@mixin bar($start,$end) $start_value: $start - 1870 margin-left: ($start_value*8) + px $length: $end - $start width: ($length*8) - 4px

The mixin:@mixin bar($start,$end) $start_value: $start - 1870 Pass in margin-left: ($start_value*8) + px arguments for start and end $length: $end - $start year. width: ($length*8) - 4px

The mixin:@mixin bar($start,$end) $start_value is $start_value: $start - 1870 the difference margin-left: ($start_value*8) + px between the $length: $end - $start start year and width: ($length*8) - 4px 1870.

The mixin:@mixin bar($start,$end) $start_value: $start - 1870 Multiply $start_value by margin-left: ($start_value*8) + px 8 to get the left- $length: $end - $start margin (8 pixels width: ($length*8) - 4px per year).

The mixin:@mixin bar($start,$end) $start_value: $start - 1870 Career $length will be used to margin-left: ($start_value*8) + px determine the $length: $end - $start width of the width: ($length*8) - 4px box.

The mixin:@mixin bar($start,$end) $start_value: $start - 1870 Again, multiply margin-left: ($start_value*8) + px by 8 to get the width, and also $length: $end - $start subtract 4 pixels width: ($length*8) - 4px (padding).

The magic:#jbagwell +bar(1991, 2005)@mixin bar(1991,2005) $start_value: 1991 - 1870 = 121 margin-left: (121*8) + px = 968px $length: 2005 - 1991 = 14 width: (14*8) - 4px) = 108px

The magic:#jbagwell +bar(1991, 2005)Will render as:#jbagwell { margin-left: 968px; width: 108px;}

margin-left: 16px; width: 164px; } #pgalvin {Repeat: margin-left: 40px; width: 132px; } #kkelly { margin-left: 64px; width: 116px; } #mward { margin-left: 64px; width: 124px; } #dbrouthers { margin-left: 72px; width: 196px; } #mwelch { margin-left: 80px; width: 92px; } #tkeefe { margin-left: 80px; width: 100px; } #rconnor { margin-left: 80px; width: 132px; } #bewing { margin-left: 80px; width: 132px; } #cradbourn { margin-left: 88px; width: 76px; } #jclarkson { margin-left: 96px; width: 92px; } #bmcphee { margin-left: 96px; width: 132px; } #tmccarthy { margin-left: 112px; width: 92px; }
