Wrong result with Sass/Scss formula - variables

I have a problem with a sass formula, the formula passes, but does not give the right result.
#for $i from 0 through 99 {
$j:0;
#if $i>15 {
$j:1;
}
#if $i>31 {
$j:2;
}
#if $i>47 {
$j:3;
}
#if $i>63 {
$j:4;
}
#if $i>79 {
$j:5;
}
$k:$i%16;
$calc-pos-y:calc(#{$j*20%} + #{#{$i%8*$i%8}px});
}
For example, when $i=91, normally $i%8*$i%8 should be 3*3=9, so $calc-pos-x: calc(100% +9px). But yet, I get calc(100% +1px).
As I increment $i, I successively obtain:
calc(100% +0px)
calc(100% +1px)
calc(100% +4px)
calc(100% +1px)
For $i=88 I get calc(100% +0px), it's good.
For $i=89 I get calc(100% +1px), it's good.
For $i=90 I get calc(100% +4px), it's good.
I think for $i=91 the result is (91*91)%8, so 8281%8=1.
How can i have 3*3=9?
$calc-pos-y:calc(#{$j*20%} + #{#{$i%8}*#{$i%8} px}); //give an error

It's a simple operator precedence problem, you forgot parenthesis in your formula. Try this:
$calc-pos-y: calc(#{$j * 20%} + #{($i % 8) * ($i % 8)}px);

less function to generate css class

I try to do any less function which will be called to create some classes.
Here is the way I tried :
.makeCssColor{#couleur) {
.coul_#{couleur} {
background-color: fade(~"#{couleur}, 'Fonce'", 15%);
&.open, &:hover {
background-color: ~"#{couleur}, 'Fonce'";
}
.btMod {
background : url('/img/btModEvt_#{couleur}.png') left top no-repeat transparent;
}
}
}
And I try to call it to create the classes :
.makeCssColor("bleu");
.makeCssColor("rouge");
But it generate an error. I don't find the good way to do it... And it bothers me to repeat all these code for each color (there is more than these line code and more thant two colors !).
Can anyone give me a little help ? :)
[edit]
ok, thanks to your help, this code does not generate an error, but there is a mistake in the CSS file :
#marronFonce = #9d5a1e;
.makeCssColor(#couleur) {
.coul_#{couleur} {
.top {
background-color: #couleur, 'Fonce';
}
.mod {
background : url('/img/btModEvt_#{couleur}.png') left top no-repeat transparent;
}
}
}
.makeCssColor(marron);
Generate this into the css file :
.coul_marron .top{background-color:marron,'Fonce'}
.coul_marron background : url('/img/btModEvt_marron.png') left top no-repeat transparent;
So the background color isn't good :
.coul_marron .top{background-color:#9d5a1e}
.coul_marron background : url('/img/btModEvt_marron.png') left top no-repeat transparent;
I need to evaluate #couleur, 'Fonce' : #marronFonce => #9d5a1e.
I tried #{#couleur, 'Fonce'} but it doesn't works...
Fade function takes a colour and a fade percentage, in your case you are passing 2 colours. Pass them one at a time. I also made some adjustments on #couleur since i some cases they don't need to be escaped
.makeCssColor{#couleur) {
.coul_#{couleur} {
background-color: fade(#couleur, 15%), fade(Fonce, 15%);
&.open, &:hover {
background-color: #couleur, 'Fonce';
}
.btMod {
background : url('/img/btModEvt_#couleur.png') left top no-repeat transparent;
}
}
}
when you call the mixin use the below, no need to use quotes
.makeCssColor(bleu);
UPDATE - just pass it in
.makeCssColor(#couleur, #name) {
.coul_#{name} {
.top {
background-color: #couleur;
}
.mod {
background : url('/img/btModEvt_#{name}.png') left top no-repeat transparent;
}
}
}
then when you call it
.makeCssColor(#marronFonce, marron);
OR
other option is you can make a loop, it's more complicated but you can try it. I am using an example I already have on my computer
first define a variable with the colour and names
#sample:
~"0070" '#ebebe7',
~"08x2" '#00247a',
~"01k0" '#92918e';
then loops thru it
.sample-loop ( #l ) when ( #l > 0 ) {
#item: extract( #sample #l );
#code: extract( #item, 1 );
#colour: color(extract( #item, 2 ));
.ext-#{code} {
background-color: #colour;
}
.sample-loop( #l - 1 );
}
and finally call the loop to generate your classes
.sample-loop( 3 );
depending on which version of less you have, the 3 can coded so it is dynamic. If you have older version of less then you have to hard code the length of the variable, or assign the length to a variable so you can use it anywhere

Bootstrap convert spacing mixin from sass to less

I have a site running Bootstrap 3.3.7. I use less to adjust the styling. In version 4 of Bootstrap sass is introduced instead of less, and I noticed a new mixin which adds the ability to easily use predefined paddings and margins:
// Width
.w-100 { width: 100% !important; }
// Margin and Padding
.m-x-auto {
margin-right: auto !important;
margin-left: auto !important;
}
#each $prop, $abbrev in (margin: m, padding: p) {
#each $size, $lengths in $spacers {
$length-x: map-get($lengths, x);
$length-y: map-get($lengths, y);
.#{$abbrev}-a-#{$size} { #{$prop}: $length-y $length-x !important; } // a = All sides
.#{$abbrev}-t-#{$size} { #{$prop}-top: $length-y !important; }
.#{$abbrev}-r-#{$size} { #{$prop}-right: $length-x !important; }
.#{$abbrev}-b-#{$size} { #{$prop}-bottom: $length-y !important; }
.#{$abbrev}-l-#{$size} { #{$prop}-left: $length-x !important; }
// Axes
.#{$abbrev}-x-#{$size} {
#{$prop}-right: $length-x !important;
#{$prop}-left: $length-x !important;
}
.#{$abbrev}-y-#{$size} {
#{$prop}-top: $length-y !important;
#{$prop}-bottom: $length-y !important;
}
}
}
// Positioning
.pos-f-t {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: $zindex-navbar-fixed;
}

I would like to convert this mixin to less, and use it in my own Bootstrap 3.3.7 project. How would this mixin look like in less?
Less does not have any #each function or map like Sass does but even then converting this Sass code into its Less equivalent is fairly easy. All that is needed are a couple of loops each of which will mimic the two #each function in Sass and associative arrays.
In Less, we can use both comma and space as delimiters for values. So by using both of them we can achieve a behavior similar to that of maps. Even multi-level maps can be mimicked using this.
(Note: You need to know the basics of Less loops to understand this code but since you've already used Less, I assume that you are familiar with the concepts. If not, have a look at docs)
#props: margin m, padding p; /* the property and abbreviation */
#spacers: xs 10px 20px, md 20px 30px; /* the sizes, its length-x and length-y */
.loop-props(#prop-index) when (#prop-index > 0){ /* outer each loop */
#prop: extract(#props, #prop-index); /* get each prop-abbrev pair based on loop index */
#prop-name: extract(#prop, 1); /* the first value in each pair is the prop name */
#abbrev: extract(#prop, 2); /* the second value in each pair is the prop's abbrev */
/* call size loop mixin with each property name + abbreviation */
.loop-sizes(#prop-name; #abbrev; length(#spacers));
.loop-props(#prop-index - 1); /* call the next iteration of the outer each loop */
}
.loop-props(length(#props)) !important; /* initial mixin/loop call */
.loop-sizes(#prop-name; #abbrev; #size-index) when (#size-index > 0){ /* inner each */
#spacer: extract(#spacers, #size-index); /* extract each spacer value based on index */
#size: extract(#spacer, 1); /* first value in each spacer is the size */
#x: extract(#spacer, 2); /* second value is the length in X axis */
#y: extract(#spacer, 3); /* third value is the length in Y axis */
/* create the selectors and properties using interpolation */
.#{abbrev}-a-#{size} {
#{prop-name}: #y #x;
}
.#{abbrev}-t-#{size} {
#{prop-name}-top: #y;
}
.#{abbrev}-r-#{size} {
#{prop-name}-right: #x;
}
.#{abbrev}-b-#{size} {
#{prop-name}-bottom: #y;
}
.#{abbrev}-l-#{size} {
#{prop-name}-left: #x;
}
.#{abbrev}-x-#{size} {
#{prop-name}-right: #x;
#{prop-name}-left: #x;
}
.#{abbrev}-y-#{size} {
#{prop-name}-top: #y;
#{prop-name}-bottom: #y;
}
.loop-sizes(#prop-name; #abbrev; #size-index - 1); /* call next iteration */
}
As you'd have noticed, I have attached the !important to the mixin call itself instead of attaching it each property. When this is done, the Less compiler automatically attaches the !important to every property and so we needn't repeat it.

Guards with multiple conditions/Nested guards

I am trying to make a mixin which evaluates both the parameters typ and compare values.
Say I have a mixin to create a CSS3 gradient with fallbacks for older browsers but if no start and/or end color is entered only output the background-color. In addition to checking all colors are being entered correctly I want to make sure that neither the start or end color is equal to the fallback color.
This is how I would like to write it using standard logic but I am not allowed to nest the guards together.
.gradient(#color, #start: 0, #stop: 0) when (iscolor(#color)) and (iscolor(#start)) and (iscolor(#stop)) and not ((#start = #color) and (#stop = #color)) {
background: #color;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear,left bottom,left top,color-stop(0, #start),color-stop(1, #stop));
additional-browser-specific-prefixes;
}
.gradient(#color, #start: 0, #stop: 0) when (default()) {
background-color: #color;
}
Essentially I want to do the following Javascript condition: if(iscolor(color) && iscolor(start) && iscolor(end) && (start !== color && end !== color)). Does anyone have any clue if this is possible?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Less guards should have the same implementation as CSS #media (this maybe only apply for the syntax??). I can not find examples for the #media, which use the kind of nesting for operators you try to use. So it is not possible for CSS #media and so also not possible for Less guards?
But, on http://mdn.beonex.com/en/CSS/Media_queries.html i found:
The not operator has a very low precedence. For example, the not is
evaluated last in the following query:
#media not all and (-moz-windows-compositor) { ... }
This means that the query is evaluated like this:
#media not (all and (-moz-windows-compositor)) { ... }
... rather than like this:
#media (not all) and (-moz-windows-compositor) { ... }
This should mean that you do not have to wrap in extra parentheses your conditions after the not keyword. The following code should work:
.gradient(#color, #start: 0, #stop: 0) when (iscolor(#color)) and (iscolor(#start) and not #start = #color) and (#stop = #color), but unfortunately this does not works as expected.
If the operator precedence of Less guards have to equal to the operator precedence of the CSS #media, this could be considered as a bug maybe.
update My above assumption was wrong, the not keyword will be applied on the whole media query (or guard) only, so not (a), not (b) make no sense at all. Also see: https://github.com/less/less.js/issues/2149
If all the above is truth, try to revert the conditions:
.gradient(#color, #start: 0, #stop: 0)
when (#start = #color) and (#stop = #color), not (iscolor(#color)), not (iscolor(#start)), not (iscolor(#stop)) {
background-color: #color;
}
.gradient(#color, #start: 0, #stop: 0)
when (#start = #color) and (#stop = #color), (iscolor(#color)=false), (iscolor(#start)=false), (iscolor(#stop)=false) {
background-color: #color;
}
.gradient(#color, #start: 0, #stop: 0) when (default()) {
background: #color;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear,left bottom,left top,color-stop(0, #start),color-stop(1, #stop));
additional-browser-specific-prefixes;
}
or try to use nested mixins as follows:
default(#a,#b,#c){
property: default;
}
.fallback(#a,#b,#c){
property: fallback;
}
.background(#a,#b,#c) when (#a>0) and (#b>0) and (#c>0)
{
.and(#a,#b,#c) when (#a=#c) and (#b=#c) {
.fallback(#a,#b,#a);
}
.and(#a,#b,#c) when (default()){
.default(#a,#b,#a);
}
.and(#a,#b,#c);
}
.background(#a,#b,#c) when (default())
{
.fallback(#a,#b,#c);
}
test0 { .background(0,1,1); }
test1 { .background(1,1,1); }
test2 { .background(2,1,1); }
test3 { .background(1,2,1); }
test4 { .background(1,1,2); }

Resolving dynamic variables in LESS

I am trying to generate a number of classes in a loop based on a number of pre-defined variable snippets.
I have a variables.less document that I am importing at the top of this less file containing my color variables. I then want to generate matching classes for these, but I am unable to get less to compile the variable.
My code:
.loop-class(~"primary", ~"success", ~"info", ~"warning", ~"danger";);
.loop-class(#list, #index: 1) when (isstring(extract(#list, #index))) {
#status: extract(#list, #index);
.button-#{status} {
color: ~'#button-#{status}';
}
.loop-class(#list, (#index + 1));
}
Which compiles to:
.button-primary {
color: #button-primary;
}
.button-success {
color: #button-success;
}
etc etc
As you can see, I get the variable name to concatenate correctly, but I can not get it to resolve, so I'm guessing that LESS has already done it's variable compilation before getting to this function?
I have already tried moving the variables into this document, as well as wrapping the variables in a mixin and adding that inside the .loop-class, but neither of these seemed to help.
I also tried something like:
#status: extract(#list, #index);
#compileClass: ~'#button-#{status}';
.button-#{status} {
color: #compileClass;
}
where I am saving the variable in a another one and then referencing that, but it yields the same result.
I looked at less css calling dynamic variables from a loop and tried implementing that as follows:
.loop-class(~"primary", ~"success", ~"info", ~"warning", ~"danger";);
.define(#var) {
#fallback: ~'#button-#{var}';
}
.loop-class(#list, #index: 1) when (isstring(extract(#list, #index))) {
#status: extract(#list, #index);
.button-#{status} {
.define(#status);
color: ##fallback;
}
.loop-class(#list, (#index + 1));
}
But that gave me the error that ##button-danger (last in the index) is undefined, so it still can't resolve the variable.
Is it obvious to you guys what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Missing Brackets
You are missing a set of needed brackets to resolve the variable:
LESS
//imported from another file
#button-primary: cyan;
#button-success: green;
#button-info: orange;
#button-warning: yellow;
#button-danger: red;
//in your mixin file
.loop-class(~"primary", ~"success", ~"info", ~"warning", ~"danger";);
.loop-class(#list, #index: 1) when (isstring(extract(#list, #index))) {
#status: extract(#list, #index);
.button-#{status} {
color: ~'#{button-#{status}}'; /* two more brackets needed */
| |
here here
}
.loop-class(#list, (#index + 1));
}
CSS Output
.button-primary {
color: #00ffff;
}
.button-success {
color: #008000;
}
.button-info {
color: #ffa500;
}
.button-warning {
color: #ffff00;
}
.button-danger {
color: #ff0000;
}
Cleaner More Friendly Code
Also, as a matter of less cluttered and more user friendly code, you can remove your multiple string interpolations needed for the mixing call by changing isstring to iskeyword in your mixin:
.loop-class(primary, success, info, warning, danger;); /* cleaner code on call */
.loop-class(#list, #index: 1) when (iskeyword(extract(#list, #index))) {
#status: extract(#list, #index);
.button-#{status} {
color: ~'#{button-#{status}}';
}
.loop-class(#list, (#index + 1));
}

LESS - Convert negative value to a positive

I'm trying to convert a negative variable in lesscss in to a positive:
#var: -100px;
.test {
height: #var * -1; // expect result to be 100px
}
But when I try and compile this code, I get 'unrecognized input' error.
Use the Abs function:
#var: -100px;
.test {
height: abs(#var);
}
