SASS Debugging

Syntax

To debug SASS, you can use the @error directive with a custom message. Here's an example:

$text-color: green;

@if $text-color != red {
  @error "Text color should be red!";
}

Example

Let's say you have a SASS file with a bunch of variable declarations, and you want to make sure that a certain variable has been declared. You can use the @error directive to throw an error message if the variable is missing:

$primary-color: #333;
$secondary-color: #999;

@if not variable-exists($primary-color) {
  @error "You need to declare a primary color!";
}

Output

If the SASS code that contains the @error directive is compiled, an error message will be displayed in the console:

Error: You need to declare a primary color! on line 4 of main.scss

Explanation

The @error directive should be used when you want to stop the compilation process and show an error message if a certain condition is not met. This can help catch errors and save time in the long run.

Use

SASS debugging can be used in any SASS or SCSS file, whether it's a small project or a large one. It can be particularly useful when working on complex mixins or functions where errors can be difficult to spot.

Important Points

• The @error directive should only be used for critical errors that need to be caught immediately
• Use descriptive error messages that explain what went wrong
• Avoid using @error too frequently, as it can make compilation time slower

Summary

SASS debugging can save you time by quickly catching errors in your code. Use the @error directive with descriptive messages to help identify and fix issues in your SASS files.
