## Mixins
<% function 'meta.load-css($url, $with: null)' do %>
<% impl_status dart: '(unreleased)', libsass: false, ruby: false do %>
Only Dart Sass currently supports this mixin.
<% end %>
Loads the [module][] at `$url` and includes its CSS as though it were written
as the contents of this mixin. The `$with` parameter provides
[configuration][] for the modules; if it's passed, it must be a map from
variable names (without `$`) to the values of those variables to use in the
loaded module.
[module]: ../at-rules/use
[configuration]: ../at-rules/use#configuration
If `$url` is relative, it's interpreted as relative to the file in which
`meta.load-css()` is included.
**Like the [`@use` rule][]**:
[`@use` rule]: ../at-rules/use
* This will only evaluate the given module once, even if it's loaded multiple
times in different ways.
* This cannot provide configuration to a module that's already been loaded,
whether or not it was already loaded with configuration.
**Unlike the [`@use` rule][]**:
* This doesn't make any members from the loaded module available in the
current module.
* This can be used anywhere in a stylesheet. It can even be nested within
style rules to create nested styles!
* The module URL being loaded can come from a variable and include
[interpolation][].
[interpolation]: ../interpolation
<% heads_up do %>
The `$url` parameter should be a string containing a URL like you'd pass to
the `@use` rule. It shouldn't be a CSS `url()`!

## Functions
<% function 'meta.call($function, $args...)', 'call($function, $args...)' do %>
<%= partial 'documentation/snippets/call-impl-status' %>
Invokes `$function` with `$args` and returns the result.
The `$function` should be a [function][] returned by
[`meta.get-function()`][].
[function]: ../values/functions
[`meta.get-function()`]: #get-function
<%= partial 'code-snippets/example-first-class-function' %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.content-exists()',
'content-exists()',
returns: 'boolean' do %>
Returns whether the current mixin was passed a [`@content` block][].
[`@content` block]: ../at-rules/mixin#content-blocks
Throws an error if called outside of a mixin.
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %>
@mixin debug-content-exists {
@debug meta.content-exists();
@content;
}
@include debug-content-exists; // false
@include debug-content-exists { // true
// Content!
}
===
@mixin debug-content-exists
@debug meta.content-exists()
@content
@include debug-content-exists // false
@include debug-content-exists // true
// Content!
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.feature-exists($feature)',
'feature-exists($feature)',
returns: 'boolean' do %>
Returns whether the current Sass implementation supports `$feature`.
The `$feature` must be a string. The currently recognized features are:
* `global-variable-shadowing`, which means that a local variable will
[shadow][] a global variable unless it has the `!global` flag.
* `extend-selector-pseudoclass`, which means that the [`@extend` rule][] will
affect selectors nested in pseudo-classes like `:not()`.
* `units-level3`, which means that [unit arithmetic][] supports units defined
in [CSS Values and Units Level 3][].
* `at-error`, which means that the [`@error` rule][] is supported.
* `custom-property`, which means that [custom property declaration][] values
don't support any [expressions][] other than [interpolation][].
[shadow]: ../variables#shadowing
[`@extend` rule]: ../at-rules/extend
[unit arithmetic]: ../values/numbers#units
[CSS Values and Units Level 3]: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values
[`@error` rule]: ../at-rules/error
[custom property declaration]: ../style-rules/declarations#custom-properties
[expressions]: ../syntax/structure#expressions
[interpolation]: ../interpolation
Returns `false` for any unrecognized `$feature`.
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %>
@debug meta.feature-exists("at-error"); // true
@debug meta.feature-exists("unrecognized"); // false
===
@debug meta.feature-exists("at-error") // true
@debug meta.feature-exists("unrecognized") // false
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.function-exists($name)',
'function-exists($name)',
returns: 'boolean' do %>
Returns whether a function named `$name` is defined, either as a built-in
function or a user-defined function.
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %>
@debug meta.function-exists("scale-color"); // true
@debug meta.function-exists("add"); // false
@function add($num1, $num2) {
@return $num1 + $num2;
}
@debug meta.function-exists("add"); // true
===
@debug meta.function-exists("scale-color") // true
@debug meta.function-exists("add") // false
@function add($num1, $num2)
@return $num1 + $num2
@debug meta.function-exists("add") // true
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.get-function($name, $css: false, $module: null)',
'get-function($name, $css: false, $module: null)',
returns: 'function' do %>
Returns the [function][] named `$name`.
[function]: ../values/functions
If `$module` is `null`, this returns the function named `$name` without a
namespace (including [global built-in functions][]). Otherwise, `$module` must
be a string matching the namespace of a [`@use` rule][] in the current file,
in which case this returns the function in that module named `$name`.
[global built-in functions]: ../modules#global-functions
[`@use` rule]: ../at-rules/use
By default, this throws an error if `$name` doesn't refer to Sass function.
However, if `$css` is `true`, it instead returns a [plain CSS function][].
[user-defined]: ../at-rules/function
[plain CSS function]: ../at-rules/function#plain-css-functions
The returned function can be called using [`meta.call()`](#call).
<%= partial 'code-snippets/example-first-class-function' %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.global-variable-exists($name, $module: null)',
'global-variable-exists($name, $module: null)',
returns: 'boolean' do %>
Returns whether a [global variable][] named `$name` (without the `$`) exists.
[global variable]: ../variables#scope
If `$module` is `null`, this returns whether a variable named `$name` without
a namespace exists. Otherwise, `$module` must be a string matching the
namespace of a [`@use` rule][] in the current file, in which case this returns
whether that module has a variable named `$name`.
[`@use` rule]: ../at-rules/use
See also [`meta.variable-exists()`](#variable-exists).
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %>
@debug meta.global-variable-exists("var1"); // false
$var1: value;
@debug meta.global-variable-exists("var1"); // true
h1 {
// $var2 is local.
$var2: value;
@debug meta.global-variable-exists("var2"); // false
}

@debug meta.global-variable-exists("var2") // false
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.inspect($value)',
'inspect($value)',
returns: 'unquoted string' do %>
Returns a string representation of `$value`.
Returns a representation of *any* Sass value, not just those that can be
represented in CSS. As such, its return value is not guaranteed to be valid
CSS.
<% heads_up do %>
This function is intended for debugging; its output format is not guaranteed
to be consistent across Sass versions or implementations.
<% end %>
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %>
@debug meta.inspect(10px 20px 30px); // unquote("10px 20px 30px")

@debug meta.inspect(null); // unquote("null")
@debug meta.inspect("Helvetica"); // unquote('"Helvetica"')
===
@debug meta.inspect(10px 20px 30px) // unquote("10px 20px 30px")
@debug meta.inspect(("width": 200px)) // unquote('("width": 200px)')
@debug meta.inspect(null) // unquote("null")
@debug meta.inspect("Helvetica") // unquote('"Helvetica"')
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.keywords($args)', 'keywords($args)', returns: 'map' do %>
Returns the keywords passed to a mixin or function that takes [arbitrary
arguments][]. The `$args` argument must be an [argument list][].
[arbitrary arguments]: ../at-rules/mixin#taking-arbitrary-arguments
[argument list]: ../values/lists#argument-lists
The keywords are returned as a map from argument names as unquoted strings (not
including `$`) to the values of those arguments.
<%= partial 'code-snippets/example-mixin-arbitrary-keyword-arguments' %>
<% end %>
<% function 'meta.mixin-exists($name, $module: null)',
'mixin-exists($name, $module: null)',
returns: 'boolean' do %>
Returns whether a [mixin][] named `$name` exists.
[mixin]: ../at-rules/mixin
If `$module` is `null`, this returns whether a mixin named `$name` without a
namespace exists. Otherwise, `$module` must be a string matching the namespace
of a [`@use` rule][] in the current file, in which case this returns whether
that module has a mixin named `$name`.
[`@use` rule]: ../at-rules/use
<% example(autogen_css: false) do %>

<% function 'meta.module-functions($module)',
returns: 'map' do %>
<%= partial '../snippets/module-system-function-status' %>
Returns all the functions defined in a module, as a map from function names to
[function values][].
[function values]: ../values/functions
The `$module` parameter must be a string matching the namespace of a [`@use`
rule][] in the current file.
