🔑 Key Concepts

Three Ways to Use SASS

1. Pre-built Classes - Use CSS classes directly in HTML

   <button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Click</button>
   

2. Variables & Mixins - Write custom SCSS with SASS features

   @use '@/styles/variables' as *;
   @use '@/styles/mixins' as *;
   
   .component {
     padding: $space-6;
     @include flex-center;
   }
   

3. CSS Variables - Dynamic theming with CSS custom properties

   .element {
     background: var(--bg-primary);
     color: var(--fg-primary);
   }
