12,781 PointsThere really should be values provided when created variables. Example:
@mixin button ($color, $size) {
background: $color;
width: $size;
height: $size /2;
}
@include button(red,25px)
you need to use @include to say you want to use it and you need to pass it values to work with
@mixin creates a variable and then later in your work you'll use @include to give it the values you need. the @mixin can be anything you want which is what makes it so great! Hope this helps.
