Also, since they are not meaningful names, they do not
add meaning to the code.

### Formatting
You should always use a space before a brace, braces should be on the same
line, each property should each get its own line, and there should be a space
between the property and its value.
```scss
// Bad
.container-item {
width: 100px; height: 100px;
margin-top: 0;
}
// Bad
.container-item
{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 0;
}
// Bad
.container-item{
width:100px;
height:100px;
margin-top:0;
}
// Good
.container-item {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 0;
}
```
Note that there is an exception for single-line rulesets, although these are
not typically recommended.
```scss
p { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
```
### Colors
HEX (hexadecimal) colors should use shorthand where possible, and should use
lower case letters to differentiate between letters and numbers, e.g. `#E3E3E3`
vs. `#e3e3e3`.
```scss
// Bad
p {
color: #ffffff;
}
// Bad
p {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
// Good
p {
color: #fff;
}
```
### Indentation
Indentation should always use two spaces for each indentation level.
```scss
// Bad, four spaces
p {
color: #f00;
}
// Good
p {
color: #f00;
}
```
### Semicolons
Always include semicolons after every property. When the stylesheets are
minified, the semicolons will be removed automatically.
```scss
// Bad
.container-item {
width: 100px;
height: 100px
}
// Good
.container-item {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
```
### Shorthand // Best
// prefer an existing utility class over adding existing styles
```0
The shorthand form should be used for properties that support it. Class names are also preferable to IDs. Rules that use IDs
are not-reusable, as there can only be one affected element on
the page.
```scss ```scss
// Bad // Bad
margin: 10px 15px 10px 15px; #my-element {
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; padding: 0;
// Good
margin: 10px 15px;
padding: 10px;
```
### Zero Units
Omit length units on zero values, they're unnecessary and not including them
is slightly more performant.
```scss
// Bad
.item-with-padding {
padding: 0px;
} }
// Good // Good
.item-with-padding { .my-element {
padding: 0; padding: 0;
} }
``` ```

### Ignoring issues
If you want a line or set of lines to be ignored by the linter, you can use
`// scss-lint:disable RuleName` ([more information](https://github.com/sds/scss-lint#disabling-linters-via-source)):
```scss
// This lint rule is disabled because it is supported only in Chrome/Safari
// scss-lint:disable PropertySpelling
body {
text-decoration-skip: ink;
}
// scss-lint:enable PropertySpelling
```
Make sure a comment is added on the line above the `disable` rule, otherwise the
linter will throw a warning. `DisableLinterReason` is enabled to make sure the
style guide isn't being ignored, and to communicate to others why the style
guide is ignored in this instance.
