Sass color function demo

Create a function to allow a variable declared in a Sass Map to be easily used throughout a project without having to repeat:

background: map-get(map-name, color-name);

Instead, let's use something shorter:

background: color(color-name);

Below is the code for this function. Detailed comments are included in the CSS (SCSS) panel.

@function color($color) {
    @if map-has-key($theme-colors, $color) {
        @return map-get($theme-colors, $color);
    }

    @warn "Unknown `#{$color}` in $theme-colors.";
    @return null;
}

By using our sass map and color function in an each loop, you can create our background and foreground color classes dynamically:

@each $color, $color-value in $theme-colors {
    .bg-#{$color} {
        background: color($color);
    }
		
    .#{$color} {
        color: color($color);
    }
}
