What is Sass inheritance and how does it work?

Sass inheritance allows styles to be shared between selectors, making your CSS more efficient and easier to maintain.

Can you give me an example of how to use inheritance in Sass?

Sure! You can use the @extend directive to inherit styles from one selector to another. For example:

.button {
  padding: 10px;
  color: white;
}

.primary-button {
  @extend .button;
  background-color: blue;
}

This way, .primary-button inherits the padding and color from .button.

Are there any downsides to using inheritance in Sass?

Yes, overusing @extend can lead to complex CSS selectors and increased file size. It's best to use it judiciously.

What are some best practices for using Sass inheritance?

Some best practices include using inheritance for shared styles, avoiding deep inheritance chains, and keeping your code organized.
