How to write scss in Angular , using mixins, variables and nesting.
SCSS (Sassy CSS) is a powerful preprocessor for CSS that enhances styling capabilities with variables, nesting, mixins, and more. Angular supports SCSS natively, making it easier to write modular and maintainable styles. In this article, we’ll explore how to use SCSS effectively in Angular projects.
Why Use SCSS in Angular?
Angular applications often grow large, requiring better style organization and reusability. SCSS provides features such as:
- Variables: Store reusable values like colors and fonts.
- Nesting: Write styles hierarchically to improve readability.
- Mixins: Create reusable styles without repetition.
- Partials and Imports: Break styles into smaller, manageable files.
- Operators: Perform calculations directly in styles.
Setting Up SCSS in an Angular Project
1. Create an Angular Project with SCSS
Angular allows using SCSS out-of-the-box. You can specify SCSS while creating a new project:
ng new my-angular-app --style=scss
