sass SCSS vs Sass Maps
Example
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-300: rgba(255, 255, 255, .4), white-400: rgba(255, 255, 255, .5), white-500: rgba(255, 255, 255, .6), white-600: rgba(255, 255, 255, .7), white-700: rgba(255, 255, 255, .8), white-800: rgba(255, 255, 255, .9), white-900: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1 )
Because you can format your code on multiple lines with SCSS, you can format your maps to be more readable.
// in SCSS maps are more readable
$white: (
white-50: rgba(255, 255, 255, .1),
white-100: rgba(255, 255, 255, .2),
white-200: rgba(255, 255, 255, .3),
white-300: rgba(255, 255, 255, .4),
white-400: rgba(255, 255, 255, .5),
white-500: rgba(255, 255, 255, .6),
white-600: rgba(255, 255, 255, .7),
white-700: rgba(255, 255, 255, .8),
white-800: rgba(255, 255, 255, .9),
white-900: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)
);
