Making a Sass mixin with optional arguments

Question

I am writing a mixin like this:

@mixin box-shadow($top, $left, $blur, $color, $inset:\"\") {
    -webkit-box-shadow:          


        

Answer 1

You can always assign null to your optional arguments. Here is a simple fix

@mixin box-shadow($top, $left, $blur, $color, $inset:null) { //assigning null to inset value makes it optional
    -webkit-box-shadow: $top $left $blur $color $inset;
    -moz-box-shadow: $top $left $blur $color $inset;
    box-shadow: $top $left $blur $color $inset;
}
