CSS variables use in Vue

Question

Is it possible to use pure CSS variables with Vue without having to link any stylesheets or use SASS/PostCSS? Unsure why I'm unable to get this to work in its most basic form.

<template>
   <div id="test">
        TEST
    </div>
</template> 
<style scoped> 
   :root {
   --var-txt-color: #c1d32f;
   }

 #test {
 color: var(--var-txt-color);
  }
</style>

I know you highlighted "without having to link any stylesheet", but I run into the same issue and there is a simple option - use just one external css file and include it in your App.vue, then you can access the variables anywhere else, in scoped styles as well.

variables.css

:root {
  --font-family: "Roboto", "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
  --primary-color: #333a4b;
}

App.vue

<style>
  @import './assets/styles/variables.css';
</style>

LandingView.vue

<style scoped>
  #landing-view {
    font-family: var(--font-family);
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1.5em;
    color: var(--primary-color);
  }
</style>
