What is the meaning of the "@include" in .css Files?


I don't understand , what is the meaning of the @include tag in .css files. For Example :

.wrapper {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
@include display(flex);
@include flex-direction(column);
@include align-items(center);
@include justify-content(center);
@include transition(all 2s linear);
}

Solution

  • @includes are a part of SCSS, it's called Mixin. Here is an example:

    @mixin border-radius($radius) {
        -webkit-border-radius: $radius;
           -moz-border-radius: $radius;
            -ms-border-radius: $radius;
                border-radius: $radius;
    }
    
    .box { @include border-radius(10px); }
    

    @includes are a shortcut to storing especially things like vendor prefixes. The CSS output of the above will be:

    .box {
        -webkit-border-radius: 10px;
           -moz-border-radius: 10px;
            -ms-border-radius: 10px;
                border-radius: 10px;
    }
