Less - Variables
LESS - Variables
In this chapter, we will discuss the Variables in LESS. LESS allows variables to be defined with an @ symbol. The Variable assignment is done with a colon(:).
The following table demonstrates the use of LESS variables in detail.
| Sr.No. | Variables usage & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Repetition of same value many times can be avoided by the use of variables. |
| 2 |
The variables can also be used in other places pke selector names, property names, URLs and @import statements. |
| 3 |
We can define variables with a variable name consisting of a value. |
| 4 |
In lazy loading, variables can be used even when they are not. |
| 5 |
Default variable has an abipty to set a variable only when it is not already set. This feature is not required because variables can be easily overridden by defining them afterwards. |
