Restructuring the css

Flow
1

Hello everyone. I have a question about the theming. How can i divide my themename.scss file into different files for better structure, because now it has become too big to navigate.

I have my themename.scss and i want to take some of the css and put it in another file(don’t know if css or scss) and import it somehow.
I tried to create another scss file with mixin inside and than import it in the styles.scss like:

@import “themename.scss”;
@import “newfile.scss”;
@import “addons.scss”;

.themename {
@include addons;
@include themename;
@include newfile;
}

but it overrides my main scss file.

I am using Vaadin 8.4.3
I have my main msptheme.sccs file with some css.

There is also grid style code in this file and i want to create another file and paste there the grid style css.

I created gridStyle.scss

// If you edit this file you need to compile the theme. See README.md for details.

// Global variable overrides. Must be declared before importing Valo.

// Defines the plaintext font size, weight and family. Font size affects general component sizing.
//$v-font-size: 16px;
//$v-font-weight: 300;
//$v-font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif;

$v-layout-margin-top: 15px;
$v-layout-margin-left: 15px;
$v-layout-margin-right: 15px;
$v-layout-margin-bottom: 15px;


// Defines the border used by all components.
//$v-border: 1px solid (v-shade 0.7);
//$v-border-radius: 4px;

// Affects the color of some component elements, e.g Button, Panel title, etc
//$v-background-color: hsl(210, 0%, 98%);
// Affects the color of content areas, e.g  Panel and Window content, TextField input etc
//$v-app-background-color: $v-background-color;

// Affects the visual appearance of all components
//$v-gradient: v-linear 8%;
//$v-bevel-depth: 30%;
//$v-shadow-opacity: 5%;

// Defines colors for indicating status (focus, success, failure)
//$v-focus-color: valo-focus-color(); // Calculates a suitable color automatically
//$v-friendly-color: #2c9720;
//$v-error-indicator-color: #ed473b;

// For more information, see: https://vaadin.com/book/-/page/themes.valo.html
// Example variants can be copy/pasted from https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Valo+Examples

@import "../valo/valo.scss";

@mixin gridStyle {
  @include valo;

  .v-grid {
    position: relative;
  }

  .v-grid-scroller {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1;
    outline: none;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }

  .v-grid-scroller-horizontal {
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    overflow-y: hidden;
    -ms-overflow-y: hidden;
  }

  .v-grid-scroller-vertical {
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    overflow-x: hidden;
    -ms-overflow-x: hidden;
  }

  .v-grid-scroller-vertical, .v-grid-scroller-horizontal {
    border: 0px solid #d4d4d4;
  }
}

And this is my styles.scss

@import "msptheme.scss";
@import "addons.scss";
@import "gridStyle.scss";

// This file prefixes all rules with the theme name to avoid causing conflicts with other themes.
// The actual styles should be defined in msptheme.scss

.msptheme {
  @include addons;
  @include msptheme;
  @include gridStyle;
}

But there is something wrong with the coloring. Not all colors are showing.
Is this the correct way to do it?

Hey Vladislav,

The issue is you’re importing Valo for a second time in gridStyle.scss.

Also, you very rarely need to change styles.scss. As the comment says: “The actual styles should be defined in msptheme.scss”.

msptheme.scss

$v-layout-margin-top: 15px;
$v-layout-margin-left: 15px;
$v-layout-margin-right: 15px;
$v-layout-margin-bottom: 15px;

@import "../valo/valo.scss";
@import "gridStyle.scss";

@mixin msptheme {
  @include valo;
  @include gridStyle;

  ...
}

gridStyle.scss

@mixin gridStyle {
  ...
}

styles.scss

@import "msptheme.scss";
@import "addons.scss";

.msptheme {
  @include addons;
  @include msptheme;
}
