LESS - CSS Guards

Description

Guards are used to match simple values or number of arguments on expressions. It is applied to the CSS selectors. It is syntax for declaring mixin and calling it immediately. To successfully bring out the if type statement; join this with feature &, which allows you to group multiple guards.

Example

The below example demonstrate use of css guard in the LESS file:

css_guard.htm

<!doctype html>
<head>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="cont">
   <h2>Welcome to TutorialsPoint</h2>
</div>
<div class="style">
   <h3>The largest Tutorials Library on the web.</h3>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Next, create file style.less

style.less

@usedScope: global;
.mixin() {
  @usedScope: mixin;
  .cont when (@usedScope=global) {
    background-color: red;
    color: black;
  }
  .style when (@usedScope=mixin) {
    background-color: blue;
    color: white;
  }
  @usedScope: mixin;
}
.mixin();
You can compile the style.less file to style.css by using the following command:
lessc style.less style.css
Next execute the above command, it will create style.css file automatically with the below code:

style.css

.style {
  background-color: blue;
  color: white;
}
