sass is a CSS preprocessor and becoming very popular for years basically you write sass and then compile it to CSS.
but what is the benefits in this article we will talk about five reasons. you should stop writing CSS and use sass instead.
1. you can use variable
this alone let you write CSS faster and more organized for example,
if you are using the same color code cross your CSS just set it as variable so you can reuse it anywhere
you want and if you want to change the color just update a variable and it’s done but for traditional CSS you have to replace all.
2. can use if-else even create a function
the occurrences on your code one by one with sass you can write CSS,
almost like programming language you can use if-else calculation logics make inline comment or even create a function
this let you write more complex code while still readable and reusable for other projects
while traditional CSS cannot and here’s the reason number two
number three sass is based on CSS syntax so you don’t have to relearn the whole new language
basically sass is a CSS superset so you can even copy your CSS into sass
and it’s working you can switch to use sass right now and get used to the extra feature little by little
reason number four you can split your sass into a smaller module and imported when needed
it’s let you modularize your code making a lot easier for maintenance
while you can also use import with traditional CSS
but each import will cause an extra HTTP request to your server
which is not good the sass import on the other hand will be compiled and processed into a single CSS file so you won’t have that problem
reason number five we could use inherent concept in sass for example,
you have a set of CSS properties that will be used many times just extend it it’s basically the same concept as Java or C#
this will prevent redundant code improve readability and easier maintenance of course this is not possible for conventional CSS
so these are reasons why you should give sass a try,
