<p>These mixins are already used throughout Bulma, but you can use them as well to extend your own styles.</p>
<p>
In Bulma, a lot of element <strong>share</strong> a set of styles. While mixins allow sharing, they repeat the CSS rules everytime they are used.
</p>
<p>
To avoid the repetition, Bulma uses the <code>@extend</code> rule to share code. This rule tells Sass that one selector should inherit the styles of another. <a href="https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/extend" target="_blank">Learn more about the extend rule</a>.
</p>
<p>
Instead of creating CSS classes that might not be used to be the <strong>source</strong> of the set of styles, Bulma uses Sass <strong>placeholders</strong>:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%control" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%unselectable" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%arrow" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%block" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%delete" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%loader" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%overlay" %}
</li>
<li>
{% include elements/snippet-inline.html content="%reset" %}
</li>
</ul>
{% assign mixins_link = site.data.links.by_id['utilities-mixins'] %}
{% assign controls_link = site.data.links.by_id['utilities-control-mixins'] %}
<p>
Each of these placeholders are simply the <code>@extend</code> version of their <a href="{{ site.url }}{{ mixins_link.path }}">corresponding mixins</a> (here for the <a href="{{ site.url }}{{ controls_link.path }}">control mixin</a>).
</p>
