One of the lesser-known but equally useful features of Sass is its built-in meta module, which provides a set of functions for accessing information about the Sass environment.
In this blog post, we will explore the SASS built-in meta module and see how it can be used with code examples.
Accessing the Sass Version
The SASS built-in meta module provides a function for accessing the current version of Sass that is being used. Here's an example:
@debug "Sass Version: #{sass-version()}";In this example, the @debug directive is used to print the current version of Sass to the console.
Accessing the Source File
The SASS built-in meta module also provides a function for accessing information about the source file, such as its name and directory. Here's an example:
@debug "Source File: #{source-file-name()}";
@debug "Source Directory: #{source-file-directory()}";In this example, the @debug directive is used to print the name and directory of the source file to the console.
Accessing the Source Line
The SASS built-in meta module also provides a function for accessing the current line number in the source file. Here's an example:
@debug "Source Line: #{source-line()}";In this example, the @debug directive is used to print the current line number in the source file to the console.
Conclusion
The SASS built-in meta module provides a set of functions for accessing information about the Sass environment, such as the current version of Sass, the source file, and the current line number in the source file. This information can be useful for debugging purposes, as well as for understanding how Sass is processing your stylesheet. Whether you are a seasoned Sass user or just getting started, the built-in meta module is a valuable tool for any Sass developer.
