A CSS preprocessor is the possibility of using variables to create re-usable values. SASS are very useful for front-end web development, they aren’t required for using variables, as this can be done in native CSS.
:root {
--main-bg-color: coral;
--main-txt-color: #fff;
--main-padding: 15px;
}
#div1 {
background-color: var(--main-bg-color);
color: var(--main-txt-color);
padding: var(--main-padding);
}
