Goal Determine the most suitable approach—mixins or functions—for encapsulating reusable style logic in Stylus projects, balancing maintainability, CSS output size, and build performance. Context Stylus offers mixins that can inject blocks of CSS, and functions that return values for property calculations. Mixins allow positional and keyword arguments, enabl
Stylus 0.64.x resolves @import and @require by checking the importing file's directory, then the paths array passed to stylus.render() , then the resolve callback. When paths and a custom resolve callback are configured together, the intended precedence is not documented: it is unclear whether the first successful callback result short-circuits the remaining
nib column() missing max-width constraint for fluid containers The goal is to guarantee that a fluid grid defined with nib ’s column() mixin does not overflow its parent container. In practice, the mixin currently omits a max-width declaration, which leads to layout breakage when used with fluid units. Key constraints: compatibility across Stylus releases 0.
Trade‑off Overview Stylus offers two primary mechanisms for reusing style blocks: mixins and the @extend directive. Mixins allow parameterization but duplicate properties each invocation, while @extend collapses selectors into a single rule set, reducing output size at the cost of limited argument support and potential specificity complications. Key Unresolv
Goal We need a repeatable development environment that guarantees deterministic CSS output when using Stylus’s :extend directive. The goal is to understand how selector ordering, mixin defaults, pseudo‑classes, and media queries interact across major Stylus releases (2.7.x vs. 3.0.x). Constraints & Uncertainty The current documentation does not specify w
Recovering from a Failed Stylus 0.54 Upgrade When upgrading to Stylus 0.54, the default import resolution now throws an error if a referenced file is missing. This change improves safety but can break automated pipelines that previously ignored missing imports. Additionally, the behavior around circular imports is still unresolved: the current release throws
