Duplicating mixins and name collisions


When you define mixins with the same name, you may possibly get conflicting code. This recipe explains how to prevent name collisions in Sass.

Getting ready

Read the Installing Sass for command line usage recipe of Chapter 1, Getting Started with Sass, to install Ruby Sass on your system. This recipe uses Ruby Sass to compile your CSS code. The SCSS code can be edited in your favorite text editor.

How to do it...

The following steps will demonstrate you how duplicate mixin names may influence the compiled CSS code:

  1. Create a Sass template called mixins.scss. This file should contain the SCSS code like that shown here:

     // scss-lint:disable PropertySpelling

      property: first; 
    } 
    
    s1 { 
      @include mixin; 
    } 
    
    @mixin mixin { 
      property: second; 
    } 
    
    s2 { 
      @include mixin; 
    }

    sass mixins.scss
    
  3. The command outputs the following CSS code in your console...
