Why Architecture Matters at Scale with Sass

📖 Scenario: You are working on a website that will grow bigger over time. To keep your styles organized and easy to manage, you need a good Sass architecture. This helps you avoid messy code and makes it simple to update styles as the site grows.

🎯 Goal: Build a simple Sass structure that shows how to organize variables, mixins, and styles in separate files and then combine them. This will help you see why good architecture matters when your project gets bigger.

Use @mixin mixin-name { ... } to create reusable style blocks in Sass.

Create the main Sass file and import partials

Create a main Sass file named main.scss. Import the partials _variables.scss and _mixins.scss using @use. Then, create a CSS class .btn that includes the button-style mixin.

SASS

// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use @use 'filename'; to import partials and @include mixin-name; to apply mixins.

Compile Sass and style a button in HTML

Create an HTML file that links to the compiled CSS from main.scss. Add a button element with class btn. This will show the styled button using your Sass architecture.
