I am trying to create dynamic values, but have failed so far. The created pixel value seems to lose the ability to be used in calculations.
$numericValue: 30;
$pixelValue: $numericValue+px;
// also tried $pixelValue: #{$numericValue}px;
$calc: $pixelValue * 2;
// also tried $calc: unquote($pixelValue) * 2;
This throws an error
Syntax error: Undefined operation: \"30px times 2\"
The trick is to use * 1px
when you want to add a unit. Using +px
or interpolation (#{$numericValue}px
) turns it into a string.
$numericValue: 30;
$pixelValue: $numericValue * 1px;
$calc: $pixelValue * 2;
You need to define the unit you will use. If you are working with pixels you can create dynamic values adding px
to the $numericValue
.
$numericValue: 30px;
$pixelValue: $numericValue;
$calc: $pixelValue * 2;
