Keep selector conflicts to a minimum
The new @scope rule is here! It’s a better way to keep our component styles contained – without relying on third-party tools or extreme naming conventions.
Scoped styles have always been the primary goal of CSS.
Selectors scope declarations to matched elements.
Those selectors can be combined to create more specific scopes –
each modified by its relation to others.
But the @scope feature,
already available in Chromium browsers,
will make that functionality even more powerful.
A new proposal for importing from NPM packages in Sass
UI libraries like Vuetify and Bootstrap make it easy to extend their themes by providing Sass source files with their NPM packages. Now, Sass is requesting feedback on a simpler way to import those libraries into your Sass styles with e.g. @use "pkg:bootstrap".
Giving us control over the cascade
Don’t let specificity force you into strict selector conventions. Cascade Layers allow us to manage specificity without resorting to naming hacks or the !important flag.
A new proposal for color management in Sass
There’s been a lot of exciting work in the CSS color specifications lately, and since the new features are already starting to land in browsers, we’ve been preparing to add support in Sass as well. My proposal for that is published and ready for public feedback!
