There are many ways to convert pixels to rem units, but this is the simplest and most accurate method:
// Define a function called 'toRem' to convert pixels to rem units
@function toRem($value) {
// Divide the pixel value by 16 to get the rem value and multiply by 1rem to set the unit
$remValue: ($value / 16) * 1rem;
// Return the calculated rem value
@return $remValue;
}
The accuracy of this method lies in using a mathematical operation to convert a px
value to rem
. Here, the $value
is divided by 16 to convert it into rem units. By multiplying with 1rem
, SCSS automatically applies the correct unit conversion, ensuring proper scaling."
This approach is both simple and accurate, making it ideal for responsive design foundations.
