How Does Html Use Sass?

In HTML, you don’t directly use Sass; instead, you use the compiled CSS generated from Sass.

  1. Intall SASS: Before you use SASS you need to install it.
npm install -g sass
  1. Create SASS file: write you SASS file code and be sure to give it the extension of “.scss”
// Example sass

$primary-color: #3498db;

body {
  background-color: $primary-color;
}

  1. Compile SASS into CSS: Use installed SASS compiled to convert the .scss file into a .css file.
sass input.scss output.css
  1. Linked compiled CSS into the HTML/JS project code
<html>
<head>
  <!--Meta data here -->

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="output.css">

  <title>Project Page</title>
</head>
<body>
 <!--HTML stuff-->
</body>
</html>
