@use "sass:math";

@debug 1px == 2px; // false
@debug 1px == 1px; // true
@debug 10px < 3px; // false
@debug math.comparable(100px, 3in); // true

@use "sass:math"

@debug 1px == 2px  // false
@debug 1px == 1px  // true
@debug 10px < 3px  // false
@debug math.comparable(100px, 3in)  // true

You can work with booleans using boolean operators. The and operator returns true if both sides are true, and the or operator returns true if either side is true. The not operator returns the opposite of a single boolean value.

@debug true and true; // true
@debug true and false; // false

@debug true or false; // true
@debug false or false; // false

@debug not true; // false
@debug not false; // true

@debug true and true  // true
@debug true and false  // false

@debug true or false  // true
@debug false or false  // false

@debug not true  // false
@debug not false  // true

Using Booleans

You can use booleans to choose whether or not to do various things in Sass. The @if rule evaluates a block of styles if its argument is true:

@mixin avatar($size, $circle: false) {
  width: $size;
  height: $size;

  @if $circle {
    border-radius: $size / 2;
  }
}

.square-av {
  @include avatar(100px, $circle: false);
}
.circle-av {
  @include avatar(100px, $circle: true);
}

@mixin avatar($size, $circle: false)
  width: $size
  height: $size

  @if $circle
    border-radius: $size / 2

.square-av
  @include avatar(100px, $circle: false)
.circle-av
  @include avatar(100px, $circle: true)

.square-av {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
}

.circle-av {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  border-radius: 50px;
}

The if() function returns one value if its argument is true and another if its argument is false:

@debug if(true, 10px, 30px); // 10px
@debug if(false, 10px, 30px); // 30px

@debug if(true, 10px, 30px)  // 10px
@debug if(false, 10px, 30px)  // 30px

Truthiness and Falsiness

Anywhere true or false are allowed, you can use other values as well. The values false and null are falsey, which means Sass considers them to indicate falsehood and cause conditions to fail. Every other value is considered truthy, so Sass considers them to work like true and cause conditions to succeed.

For example, if you want to check if a string contains a space, you can just write string.index($string, " "). The string.index() function returns null if the string isn’t found and a number otherwise.
