I'm trying to dynamically generate my @include and also insert the @content dynamically so I do not have to keep repeating the code ..
However I am getting the following error that is below, and I would like to know what I am doing wrong and if it is possible to do this with includes or I must enter all variable names manually.
$ node-sass scss/_sixbase-grid.scss ../app/src/public/css/sixbase-grid.min.css --output-style expanded

}

The problem is here: @include media-#{$media-key} {...} 'cause you can't use interpolation in @mixin. See this post, it is very clear about this issue: How to define a dynamic mixin or function name in SASS?
So, we have to use another way. A solution could be create a general mixin and work with its arguments. Something like this:
@mixin general-media($width){
@media only screen and (min-width: $width) {
@content;
}
}
After that, I choose to add your width values in $media-map map and use them with that mixin (I tried to use your code):
$media-map: (
smartphone-xs: ( type: 'xs', width: $xs-width ),
smartphone-sm: ( type: 'sm', width: $sm-width ),
tablet-md: ( type: 'md', width: $md-width ),
tablet-lg: ( type: 'lg', width: $lg-width ),
desktop: ( type: 'xl', width: $xl-width )
);
And this is your loop with some changes:
@each $media-key, $media-type in $media-map {
@include general-media(map-get($media-type, 'width')) {
@each $display-key, $display-type in $container-map {
.container-#{map-get($media-type, 'type' )}-#{$display-key} {
display: map-get($map: $display-type, $key: display );
}
}
}
}
This is all code in action:
/* MEDIA_QUERIES.SCSS */
$xs-width: 320px;
$sm-width: 576px;
$md-width: 768px;
$lg-width: 992px;
$xl-width: 1200px;
@mixin general-media($width){
@media only screen and (min-width: $width) {
@content;
}
}
/* SIXBASE-GRID.SCSS */
$container-map: (
flex: ( display: flex ),
inline: ( display: inline )
);
$flex-direction-map: (
row: ( flex-direction: row ),
row-reverse: ( flex-direction: row-reverse ),
column: ( flex-direction: column ),
column-reverse: ( flex-direction: column-reverse )
);
$media-map: (
smartphone-xs: ( type: 'xs', width: $xs-width ),
smartphone-sm: ( type: 'sm', width: $sm-width ),
tablet-md: ( type: 'md', width: $md-width ),
tablet-lg: ( type: 'lg', width: $lg-width ),
desktop: ( type: 'xl', width: $xl-width )
);
* {
&::before,
&::after {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
}
@each $media-key, $media-type in $media-map {
@include general-media(map-get($media-type, 'width')) {
@each $display-key, $display-type in $container-map {
.container-#{map-get($media-type, 'type' )}-#{$display-key} {
display: map-get($map: $display-type, $key: display );
}
}
}
}
The output:
*::before, *::after {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
