What are the differences between SCSS variables and CSS variables?

What are the differences between SCSS variables and CSS variables?

SCSS variables are defined using the $ symbol and are processed at compile time, while CSS variables are defined with -- and can be changed at runtime.

Can you give me an example of how to use both types of variables?

Sure! In SCSS, you might write $primary-color: blue; and use it as color: $primary-color;. In CSS, you would define it as --primary-color: blue; and use it like color: var(--primary-color);.

Are there any advantages to using CSS variables over SCSS variables?

Yes, CSS variables can be updated dynamically with JavaScript and have a cascading nature, which allows for more flexibility in styling.

Is it possible to use both SCSS and CSS variables in the same project?

Absolutely! You can use SCSS for compile-time variables and CSS variables for runtime changes in the same project.
