Question

I’m working on a project where I utilize SASS and Compass and need to somehow come up with some random numbers in the CSS file. Specifically, I need some floating point numbers between 0 and 1. Is this possible with SASS and Compass alone?

Answer 1

This is very possible if you create a sass function since sass is ruby its as easy as opening the functions module and injecting your random function

module Sass::Script::Functions
  module MyRandom
    def random
      rand(1.0)
    end
  end
  include MyRandom
end

require the file after sass has loaded

Then in your stylesheet

$my-randome-number: random();
