Sass quick question (hopefully) here. Can you test for the existence of a mixin? e.g.
@if thumbnail-mixin {} @else { //define mixin }.
Ideally I'd use @unless
, but that only exists on a fork. I'm aware you can overwrite a mixin but I'm thinking more if you can have a default mixin, rather than having to specify N variables in every case.
Sass does not currently have native functionality to determine if a mixin exists or not.

You could create a Sass function written in Ruby:
def mixin_exists(mixin_name)
if(environment.mixin(mixin_name.value))
Sass::Script::Bool.new(true)
else
Sass::Script::Bool.new(false)
end
end
Or you could use the sass-utilities Compass extension, which has this function included.
The most recent version of Sass (v3.3.0) has a mixin-exists
function:
.foo {
@if mixin-exists(mymixin) {
exists: true;
}
@else {
exists: false;
}
}
Sass v3.3 adds other existence tests too:
variable-exists($name)
global-variable-exists($name)
function-exists($name)
