Sass recently launched a major new feature you might recognize from
other languages: a module system. The new syntax will replace @import
with @use and @forward – a big step forward for making Sass partials
(one of the language’s most used features) more readable, performant,
and safe. This article goes into detail, but you can also read our
“Sass Modules, a Primer” article for the quick introduction.
Inspect and manipulate the new CSS color formats in Sass!
CSS has a range of new color functions that support wider color gamuts (like display-p3) and perceptually uniform color adjustments (like oklch). Sass now provides additional tools for working with these new color formats, and converting between them.
I talked with Jens Oliver Meiert over at Frontend Dogma about our work here at OddBird, what’s happening in the CSS Working Group, and advice for getting started in frontend development.
Keep selector conflicts to a minimum
The new @scope rule is here! It’s a better way to keep our component styles contained – without relying on third-party tools or extreme naming conventions.
