# Base Styles

## Installation

```bash
npm install @wordpress/base-styles --save-dev
```

## Use

### SCSS utilities and variables

In your application's SCSS file, include styles like so:

```scss
@import "node_modules/@wordpress/base-styles/colors";
@import "node_modules/@wordpress/base-styles/variables";
@import "node_modules/@wordpress/base-styles/mixins";
@import "node_modules/@wordpress/base-styles/breakpoints";
@import "node_modules/@wordpress/base-styles/animations";
@import "node_modules/@wordpress/base-styles/z-index";
```

If you use [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) for your SCSS pipeline, you can use `~` to resolve to `node_modules`:

```scss
@import "~@wordpress/base-styles/colors";
```

To make that work with [`sass`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass) or [`node-sass`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass) NPM modules without Webpack, you'd have to use [includePaths option](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/js-api#includepaths):

```json
{
	"includePaths": ["node_modules"]
}
```
