SASS Importing

Importing differentiation

You might be wondering why the Sass file here is using import directives with underscores, as opposed to the normal un-suffixed and un-prefixed importing (@import "base/all";, for example.)

Well, I’ve always had "_all.scss" as an importer for directories, but today I created a component SCSS file that appeared before "_all.scss" in the file browser.

To counter this, and make sure that the importer is always the first file I see in a directory of Sass files, I renamed the importers to "__all.scss". This has the added benefit of being extremely explicit in what exactly the imported file does—it’s in charge of pulling its siblings along with it.

style.scss

// Imports
@import "variables/_all";
@import "functions/_all";
@import "mixins/_all";
@import "helpers/_all";
@import "components/_all";
@import "base/_all";
