CSS variable first chapter!

Hey, there coding people,

As you might know, I have started learning CSS variables from scrimba and this is my first post about CSS variables.

I this post you can see I have used CSS variable for this basic web page.

First of all, you have to initialize your CSS variable in the global scope which we can use anywhere in our entire project.

Global scope

:root
{
    --black-color: #000;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

use it like this

.selector-name
{
    color: var(--black-color);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Check out this codepen for more understanding.
