title: Built-In Modules

introduction: >
Sass provides many built-in modules which contain useful functions (and the
occasional mixin). These modules can be loaded with the [`@use`
rule](/documentation/at-rules/use) like any user-defined stylesheet, and their
functions can be called [like any other module
member](/documentation/at-rules/use#loading-members). All built-in module URLs
begin with `sass:` to indicate that they're part of Sass itself.
---
{% headsUp %}
Before the Sass module system was introduced, all Sass functions were globally
available at all times. Many functions still have global aliases (these are
listed in their documentation). The Sass team discourages their use and will
eventually deprecate them, but for now they remain available for compatibility
with older Sass versions and with LibSass (which doesn't support the module
system yet).
[A few functions][] are *only* available globally even in the new module
system, either because they have special evaluation behavior ([`if()`][]) or
because they add extra behavior on top of built-in CSS functions ([`rgb()`][]
and [`hsl()`][]). These will not be deprecated and can be used freely.
[a few functions]: #global-functions
[`if()`]: #if
[`rgb()`]: #rgb
[`hsl()`]: #hsl

Sass provides the following built-in modules:
* The [`sass:math` module][] provides functions that operate on [numbers][].
* The [`sass:string` module][] makes it easy to combine, search, or split
apart [strings][].
* The [`sass:color` module][] generates new [colors][] based on existing ones,
making it easy to build color themes.
* The [`sass:list` module][] lets you access and modify values in [lists][].
* The [`sass:map` module][] makes it possible to look up the value associated
with a key in a [map][], and much more.
* The [`sass:selector` module][] provides access to Sass's powerful selector
engine.
* The [`sass:meta` module][] exposes the details of Sass's inner workings.

{% compatibility 'dart: "1.15.0"', 'libsass: false', 'ruby: false', 'feature: "Level 4 Syntax"' %}
LibSass and Ruby Sass only support the following signatures:
* `hsl($hue, $saturation, $lightness)`
* `hsla($hue, $saturation, $lightness, $alpha)`
Note that for these implementations, the `$alpha` argument is *required* if
the function name `hsla()` is used, and *forbidden* if the function name
`hsl()` is used.
{% endcompatibility %}
{% compatibility 'dart: true', 'libsass: false', 'ruby: "3.7.0"', 'feature: "Percent Alpha"' %}
LibSass and older versions of Ruby Sass don't support alpha values specified
as percentages.

{% markdown %}
Returns a color with the given [hue, saturation, and lightness][] and the
given alpha channel.
[hue, saturation, and lightness]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV
The hue is a number between `0deg` and `360deg` (inclusive) and may be
unitless. The saturation and lightness are numbers between `0%` and `100%`
(inclusive) and may *not* be unitless. The alpha channel can be specified as
either a unitless number between 0 and 1 (inclusive), or a percentage
between `0%` and `100%` (inclusive).
{% endmarkdown %}
{% funFact false %}
{% markdown %}
You can pass [special functions][] like `calc()` or `var()` in place of
any argument to `hsl()`. You can even use `var()` in place of multiple
arguments, since it might be replaced by multiple values! When a color
function is called this way, it returns an unquoted string using the same
signature it was called with.

Sass's [special parsing rules][] for slash-separated values make it
difficult to pass variables for `$lightness` or `$alpha` when using the
`hsl($hue $saturation $lightness / $alpha)` signature. Consider using
`hsl($hue, $saturation, $lightness, $alpha)` instead.

{% markdown %}
Returns `$if-true` if `$condition` is [truthy][], and `$if-false` otherwise.
This function is special in that it doesn't even evaluate the argument that
isn't returned, so it's safe to call even if the unused argument would throw
an error.
