What are the best practices for nesting in SASS?

When nesting in SASS, it's best to limit your nesting to 3 levels deep to maintain readability.

Why is it important to limit nesting?

Limiting nesting helps keep your CSS maintainable and prevents overly specific selectors that can complicate overrides.

Can you give an example of good nesting?

Sure! Instead of nesting too deeply, you can structure it like this:

.nav {
  &__item {
    color: blue;
    &--active {
      color: red;
    }
  }
}

What should I avoid when using nesting?

Avoid deep nesting and excessive use of parent selectors like & as it can lead to complex and hard-to-read styles.
