Description

Partials in Sass are separate files that hold segments of CSS code. These are imported and used in other Sass files. This is a great way to group similar code into a module to keep it organized. Names for partials start with the underscore (_) character, which tells Sass it is a small segment of CSS and not to convert it into a CSS file. Also, Sass files end with the .scss file extension. To bring the code in the partial into another Sass file, use the @import directive. For example, if all your mixins are saved in a partial named "_mixins.scss", and they are needed in the "main.scss" file, this is how to use them in the main file:

// In the main.scss file

@import 'mixins'

Note that the underscore is not needed in the import statement - Sass understands it is a partial. Once a partial is imported into a file, all variables, mixins, and other code are available to use.

Instructions

Write an @import statement to import a partial named _variables.scss into the main.scss file.

Tests

- text: 'Your code should use the <code>@import</code> directive, and should not include the underscore in the file name.'
  testString: 'assert(code.match(/@import\s+?(''|")variables\1/gi), ''Your code should use the <code>@import</code> directive, and should not include the underscore in the file name.'');'
