Question 1

How do I chain functions in Sassdash like in lodash?

Accepted Answer

Use the `_()` wrapper with method names and arguments as lists, e.g., `_($list, _map _join, ...)`. Note that there's no lazy evaluation—results are computed immediately, as explained in the README.

Question 2

Sassdash vs lodash: which one should I use for CSS logic?

Accepted Answer

Sassdash is for Sass/SCSS projects, bringing lodash-like utilities to stylesheets, while lodash is for JavaScript. Choose Sassdash when you need functional programming directly in your CSS preprocessor, but it has incomplete feature parity.

Question 3

Does Sassdash work with Libsass or only Ruby Sass?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works with both Libsass and Ruby Sass, as stated in the README. No additional tools like Compass or Eyeglass are required, making it versatile for different Sass environments.

Question 4

What lodash functions are missing in Sassdash?

Accepted Answer

Several functions are not implemented, such as _.curry, _.debounce, _.clone, and some chain utilities like _.tap. The README includes a detailed table with :x: markers for missing functions.

Question 5

How to handle native Sass functions in Sassdash iteratees?

Accepted Answer

Sassdash automatically guards native Sass functions, so you can use them directly without wrapping. For example, `_map($list, to-upper-case)` works seamlessly, as shown in the examples.

Question 6

Is Sassdash good for building CSS frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's ideal for developing complex Sass libraries like grid frameworks or animation tools, as it provides advanced utility functions for data manipulation. However, it requires familiarity with functional programming concepts.
