title: "@forward" | ||
introduction: > | ||
TODO(nweiz): Write this | ||
The `@forward` rule loads a Sass stylesheet and makes its [mixins](mixin), | ||
[functions](function), and [variables](../variables) available when your | ||
stylesheet is loaded with the [`@use` rule](use). It makes it possible to | ||
organize Sass libraries across many files, while allowing their users to load | ||
a single entrypoint file. | ||
--- | ||
|
||
The rule is written `@forward "<url>"`. It loads the module at the given URL | ||
just like `@use`, but it makes the [public][] members of the loaded module | ||
available to users of your module as though they were defined directly in your | ||
module. Those members aren't available in your module, though—if you want that, | ||
you'll need to write a `@use` rule as well. Don't worry, it'll only load the | ||
module once! | ||
|
||
[public]: use#private-members | ||
|
||
<% fun_fact do %> | ||
The `@forward` rule acts just like `@use` when it comes to a module's CSS. | ||
Styles from a forwarded module will be included in the compiled CSS output, | ||
and the module with the `@forward` can [extend][] it, even if it isn't also | ||
`@use`d. | ||
|
||
[extend]: extend | ||
<% end %> | ||
<% example do %> | ||
// src/_list.scss | ||
@mixin list-reset { | ||
margin: 0; | ||
padding: 0; | ||
list-style: none; | ||
} | ||
--- | ||
// bootstrap.scss | ||
@forward "src/list"; | ||
--- | ||
// styles.scss | ||
@use "bootstrap"; | ||
|
||
li { | ||
@include bootstrap.list-reset; | ||
} | ||
=== | ||
// src/_list.sass | ||
@mixin list-reset | ||
margin: 0 | ||
padding: 0 | ||
list-style: none | ||
--- | ||
// bootstrap.sass | ||
@forward "src/list" | ||
--- | ||
// styles.sass | ||
@use "bootstrap" | ||
|
||
li | ||
@include bootstrap.list-reset | ||
=== | ||
li { | ||
margin: 0; | ||
padding: 0; | ||
list-style: none; | ||
} | ||
<% end %> | ||
|
||
## Adding a Prefix | ||
|
||
Because module members are usually used with [a namespace][], short and simple | ||
names are usually the most readable option. But those names might not make sense | ||
outside the module they're defined in, so `@forward` has the option of adding an | ||
extra prefix to all the members it forwards. | ||
|
||
This is written `@forward "<url>" as <prefix>-*`, and it adds the given prefix | ||
to the beginning of every mixin, function, and variable name forwarded by the | ||
module. For example, if the module defines a member named `reset` and it's | ||
forwarded `as list-*`, downstream stylesheets will refer to it as `list-reset`. | ||
|
||
[a namespace]: use#loading-members | ||
|
||
<% example do %> | ||
// src/_list.scss | ||
@mixin reset { | ||
margin: 0; | ||
padding: 0; | ||
list-style: none; | ||
} | ||
--- | ||
// bootstrap.scss | ||
@forward "src/list" as list-*; | ||
--- | ||
// styles.scss | ||
@use "bootstrap"; | ||
|
||
li { | ||
@include bootstrap.list-reset; | ||
} | ||
=== | ||
// src/_list.sass | ||
@mixin reset | ||
margin: 0 | ||
padding: 0 | ||
list-style: none | ||
--- | ||
// bootstrap.sass | ||
@forward "src/list" as list-* | ||
--- | ||
// styles.sass | ||
@use "bootstrap" | ||
|
||
li | ||
@include bootstrap.list-reset | ||
=== | ||
li { | ||
margin: 0; | ||
padding: 0; | ||
list-style: none; | ||
} | ||
<% end %> | ||
|
||
## Controlling Visibility | ||
|
||
Sometimes, you don't want to forward *every* member from a module. You may want | ||
to keep some members private so that only your package can use them, or you may | ||
want to require your users to load some members a different way. You can control | ||
exactly which members get forwarded by writing `@forward "<url>" hide | ||
<members...>` or `@forward "<url>" show <members...>`. | ||
|
||
The `hide` form means that the listed members shouldn't be forwarded, but | ||
everything else should. The `show` form means that *only* the named members | ||
should be forwarded. In both forms, you list the names of mixins, functions, or | ||
variables (including the `$`). | ||
|
||
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %> | ||
// src/_list.scss | ||
$horizontal-list-gap: 2em; | ||
|
||
@mixin list-reset { | ||
margin: 0; | ||
padding: 0; | ||
list-style: none; | ||
} | ||
|
||
@mixin list-horizontal { | ||
@include reset; | ||
|
||
li { | ||
display: inline-block; | ||
margin: { | ||
left: -2px; | ||
right: $horizontal-list-gap; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
--- | ||
// bootstrap.scss | ||
@forward "src/list" hide list-reset, $horizontal-list-gap; | ||
=== | ||
// src/_list.sass | ||
$horizontal-list-gap: 2em | ||
|
||
@mixin list-reset | ||
margin: 0 | ||
padding: 0 | ||
list-style: none | ||
|
||
|
||
@mixin list-horizontal | ||
@include reset | ||
|
||
li | ||
display: inline-block | ||
margin: | ||
left: -2px | ||
right: $horizontal-list-gap | ||
--- | ||
// bootstrap.sass | ||
@forward "src/list" hide list-reset, $horizontal-list-gap | ||
<% end %> |
