Question

I have a really big .less file that I am trying to break into smaller files for readability purposes.

But the files I am importing rely on variables and mixins from the main.less file…so they don’t compile on their own.

Should I just include the variables and mixins at the top of both files, or is there a better way to go about this?

Answer 1

If the variables and mixins are independent of the other styles (as they probably should be) you could create separate files for both variables and mixins…

- less_directory
  |-- mixins.less
  |-- variables.less
  |-- style1.less
  `-- style2.less

..and then just import them as needed.
