In my quest to push forward what is possible with custom properties in CSS, I discovered another application of cyclic dependencies. Combined with a prior technique based on custom cascade layers, we are now even closer to something that resembles native CSS mixins.

Style queries will unlock many doors. An ability to alternate a value of any variable that I presented in my previous article might seem to be trivial by itself, but what if there is a hidden depth in how we can utilize it? One interesting case is the ability to emulate inherit() — a way to access the previous state of a custom property.

In this article, I am sharing the next evolution of space & cyclic toggles, which allows us to create and apply optional mixins in CSS with the help of custom cascade layers, available today in every browser that supports them.

Over the past few years, I wanted to be able to select a value from a list in CSS by toggling a single custom property. We have the “space toggle” for booleans, and hopefully, one day, we’ll get style queries, but what about today? In this article, I present you with the technique I recently discovered.

HTML&CSS-only gomoku game? Binary logic in CSS via counters? So many combinators, Edge stops to understand what is even going on? All of this and a bunch of other weird CSS stuff in the experiment that I started back in 2013.

CSS variables are very powerful, and they allow to do a lot of interesting things. But there are no native conditionals that we could use in CSS with them. In this article I’ll talk about one of the ways we can fake such conditions with calculations.
