Its coded in Ruby to create CSS files.
Why to Use SASS?
❖ It is a pre-processing language which provides indented syntax (its
own syntax) for CSS.
❖ It provides some features, which are used for creating stylesheets that
allows writing code more efficiently and is easy to maintain.
❖ It is a super set of CSS, which means it contains all the features of
CSS and is an open source pre-processor, coded in Ruby.
❖ It provides the document style in a good, structured format than
flat CSS. It uses re-usable methods, logic statements and some of the
built-in functions such as color manipulation, mathematics and
parameter lists.
Features of SASS
❖ It is more stable, powerful, and compatible with versions of CSS.
❖ It is a super set of CSS and is based on JavaScript.
❖It is known as syntactic sugar for CSS, which means it makes
easier way for user to read or express the things more clearly.
❖ It uses its own syntax and compiles to readable CSS.
❖ You can easily write CSS in less code within less time.
❖ It is an open source pre-processor, which is interpreted into CSS.
Advantages of SASS
❖ It allows writing clean CSS in a programming construct.
❖ It helps in writing CSS quickly.
❖ It is a superset of CSS, which helps designers and developers
work more efficiently and quickly.
❖ As Sass is compatible with all versions of CSS, we can use any
available CSS libraries.
❖ It is possible to use nested syntax and useful functions such as
color manipulation, mathematics and other values.
Disadvantages of SASS
❖ It takes time for a developer to learn new features present in this
pre-processor.
❖ If many people are working on the same site, then should use the
same preprocessor. Some people use Sass and some people use CSS
to edit the files directly. Therefore, it becomes difficult to work on
the site.
❖ There are chances of losing benefits of browser's built-in element
inspector
Sass - Syntax
❖ SASS supports two syntaxes namely SCSS and Indented syntax.
❖ The SCSS (Sassy CSS) is an extension of CSS syntax. This means
every valid CSS is a valid SCSS as well. SCSS makes much
easier to maintain large stylesheets and can recognize vendor
specific syntax, Many CSS and SCSS files use the extension .scss.
❖ Indented − This is older syntax and sometimes just called as
SASS. Using this form of syntax, CSS can be written concisely.
SASS files use the extension .sass.
