What are the best practices for using CSS mixins?

When using CSS mixins, it's important to keep them reusable, maintainable, and avoid over-complication. Use them to encapsulate common styles.

Can you give me an example of a CSS mixin?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

@mixin flex-center {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

You can use this mixin in your classes to center elements easily.

How do I include a mixin in my CSS?

You can include a mixin by using the @include directive. For example:

.box {
  @include flex-center;
}

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, while mixins can help reduce code duplication, overusing them can lead to larger CSS files. It's best to use them judiciously.
