Leuk, zo met 1 klik van dark naar light mode met deze plugin.
When you declare a variable with SCSS, like so: And you use it somewhere, but you make an error… …the compiler will warn you. In fact the project probably won’t compile. This prevents you from making a wrong reference. This type of bug is a “wrong reference bug” i.e. we are referencing the wrong thing. […]
