Extend/Inheritance

Using @extend lets you share a set of CSS
properties from one selector to another.

/* This CSS will print because %message-shared is
extended. */
%message-shared {
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 10px;
  color: #333;
}

/* This CSS won't print because %equal-heights is
never extended. */
%equal-heights {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.message {
  @extend %message-shared;
}

.success {
  @extend %message-shared;
  border-color: green;
}

.error {
  @extend %message-shared;
  border-color: red;
}

.warning {
  @extend %message-shared;
  border-color: yellow;
}

/* This CSS will print because %message-shared is
extended. */
.warning, .error, .success, .message {
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 10px;
  color: #333;
}

.success {
  border-color: green;
}

.error {
  border-color: red;
}

.warning {
  border-color: yellow;
}
