I am using compass to manage some sass files on mac osx. I have these files:
sass/
screen.scss
partials folder/
...
_fonts.scss
_functions.scss
...
In fonts I have this rule which I would like to reuse @extend.
//fonts.scss
.icon-ab-logo, {
font-family: 'icomoon';
speak: none;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
line-height: 1;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}
.icon-ab-logo:before { //i want to reuse this.
content: "\e000";
}
In functions I have this screen.scss:
.logo {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0px;
z-index: 500;
width: 9.5em;
background: $logo;
@include transition(all 0.2s);
&:after{
@include icon( ".icon-ab-logo" );
}
}
Finally in functions.scss I call this:
@mixin icon( $icon ){
font-family: 'icomoon';
speak: none;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
line-height: 1;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
@extend #{$icon}:before; //<- this is the problem, no errors just isn't parsed.
}
Is there a way to reference .icon-ab-logo:before using a mixin? Workarounds? Thanks for reading.
When you want to extend a pseudo class or pseudo element, you just want to extend the parent selector (ie. everything that comes before the colon).
%foo:before {
color: red;
}
.bar {
@extend %foo;
}
Generates:
.bar:before {
color: red;
}
So for your instance, what you want to do is this:
.icon-ab-logo, {
font: 100%/1 'icomoon'; // use the shorthand
speak: none;
text-transform: none;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}
%foo:before, .icon-ab-logo:before { //i want to reuse this.
content: "\e000";
}
@mixin icon( $icon ){
font: 100%/1 'icomoon'; // use the shorthand
speak: none;
text-transform: none;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
@extend #{$icon};
}
.bar {
@include icon('%foo');
}
Be aware that your mixin generates a lot of styles, so it's not really suitable for extensive reuse. It would make a lot more sense to be extending that as well.
Seems like SASS doesn't work so well with pseudo elements in extends.
Work around the issue like this:
%before-icon
color: red
.foo
/* Some styles here */
&:before
@extend %before-icon
Result:
.foo:before {
color: red;
}
.foo {
/* Some styles here */
}
Also, it looks like you're overcomplicating things. You'll find your code difficult to grasp and maintain.
PS You should keep mixins in _mixins.scss
