mix(@color1, @color2, 50%) // Blend two colors evenly
Mixin Guards & Bedingungen
Less verwendet das Schlüsselwort when zur Anwendung bedingter Logik auf Mixins:
// Helligkeits-Bedingung
.theme-box when (luma(@color) > 50%) {
color: #000;
background-color: @color;
}
// Negations-Bedingung
.theme-box when (not (luma(@color) > 50%)) {
color: #fff;
background-color: @color;
}
// Standard-Fallback-Bedingung
.theme-box when (default()) {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
// Gleichheitsprüfung
.shape when (e(@shape) = 'circle') {
border-radius: 50%;
}
