Tag: less variable

LESS (dynamic stylesheet Language) allowed declare variable and use it when we need. We have to follow some rules to declare and use variable. I am gonna show you how to declare and use variable for LESS.

How to declare Variable :

Variable start with at-sign (@), so you have to write (@) as a first character of your variable name and use colon (:) to assign the value of that variable. Like:

/*Creating a variable. Variable name color*/
@color : #C00;

How to use variable :

 It is pretty easy to use those variable. just create a clsss/id. write a css properties (e.g color) and use @color variable as a value of that properties. like

.text{
  color: @color  /*Use Color variable*/
}

so the color of the text class will be (#C00). This is the simple use of variable. Actually when this code is compiled then then value of the color properties (#C00). I am showing you another example.

LESS CSS Code:

@text-color: #CCC;
@layout: 910px;

#header{
  width : @layout; 
  color: @text-color;
}

When this code will be compiled it become….

#header {
  width: 910px;
  color: #cccccc;
}

So you see how to declare and use variable. hope you guys are enjoy it.
