Automate SVG Sprite Background Image Variations with a SCSS Mixin

n this lesson, you’ll learn how to write a SCSS mixin to generate styles for variations of background-images. We’ll look at using SCSS lists to interpolate dynamic class names and property attributes and output icons at different sizes.

If you need the ability to add or edit icons on a regular basis, having a SCSS mixin do the heavy lifting of calculating background-position, background-size and creating selectors will save you lots of time and manual work.

Note: this lesson assumes you have an understanding of SCSS, mixins and already have a process to compile SCSS.
