CSS Variables: A Complete Guide
Scrimba Articles
EDITOR BRIEF
CSS variables are custom properties: real CSS properties that start with two dashes and are read with var(). They inherit and follow the cascade, which makes them different from Sass variables. The guide covers naming, scoping, fallbacks, JavaScript use, theming, responsive values, @property, and common bugs.
INSIGHTS
Learning CSS variables helps you build reusable styles and understand how CSS inheritance works. Try setting a value on :root, then override it on a smaller selector to see scoping in action.
