    When working in CSS, it's not uncommon to have a situation
  • 0:10
    where you have a base class that has just most of the styling that you want.
  • 0:15
    But then there's a specific instance where you want to change just a few things

    or add a few things specific to that sort of instance

    where you're using that class in your HTML.

    Now in normal CSS and HTML, what you would do is you would just simply add

    that base class and then you would add a more specific class as well

Sass @extend Directive

When working with your CSS you will often have instances where something should include all of the styling associated with a class, in addition to a few extras that are specific to just that item. In regular CSS you would normally put the general class on the item, and add a more specific class with the additional styling. With the Sass @extend directive, you can have the more specific class inherit the styling of another class, so that you can just use the specific class in your HTML, keeping you HTML markup nice and concise.
