Sass tends to be the more "lazy" syntax. Nothing illustrates this nicer than how you define and include mixins. Defining a mixin = is how you define a mixin in Sass, @mixin in SCSS. // SCSS @mixin size($x: 10rem, $y: 20rem) { width: $x; height: $y; } // Sass =size($x: 10...

When it comes to maps, usually SCSS is the easier syntax. Because Sass is indent-based, your maps have to be saved in one line. // in Sass maps are "unreadable" $white: ( white-50: rgba(255, 255, 255, .1), white-100: rgba(255, 255, 255, .2), white-200: rgba(255, 255, 255, .3), white-30...

Cross join does a Cartesian product of the two members, A Cartesian product means each row of one table is combined with each row of the second table in the join. For example, if TABLEA has 20 rows and TABLEB has 20 rows, the result would be 20*20 = 400 output rows. Using example database SELECT d...

A template autorun may be used to (re)subscribe to a publication. It establishes a reactive context which is re-executed whenever any reactive data it depends on changes. In addition, an autorun always runs once (the first time it is executed). Template autoruns are normally put in an onCreated met...

Sometimes a term is defined in multiple sections of the manual. By default, man will only display the first page it finds, which can be annoying for programmers because C functions are documented in a later section than commands and system calls. Use the following to display all pages that match a...
