Stylus Variables

Stylus Variables are a feature of the Stylus CSS preprocessor that allow developers to store and reuse values, such as colors, fonts, or dimensions, throughout their stylesheets. They enable dynamic theming, reduce code duplication, and improve maintainability by centralizing style definitions. Variables in Stylus are flexible, supporting interpolation, operations, and can be defined globally or within specific scopes.

Developers should learn Stylus Variables when working with Stylus to create scalable and maintainable CSS, especially in large projects or design systems where consistent theming is crucial. They are essential for implementing dynamic styles, such as dark mode themes or responsive design adjustments, and help streamline updates by changing values in one place rather than throughout the codebase.
