map_get support

[Julix91]

I'd like to have my colours displayed, even if they're stored in an array - Things like: map_get($theme-colors,button-color)

Is that possible?

Of what language is that a feature? I'm not sure if it is in scope of Pigments to interpret all theme files to find arrays, but I'll let that decision over to abe33.

Yes, +1 for this. I do believe @Julix91 is referring to Sass; at least that's what I would want.

Here's an example scenario expanding on @Julix91's request for more clarification:

$primary: #34495E;

$map: (
   orange: #FFA500,
   indigo: #4B0082,
   default: $primary
);

.example {
   color: map-get($map, default);
   // 'map-get($map, default)' is highlighted
}

It would also be nice for the scope to go even further (using the previous example):

@function color($var) {
   @return map-get($map, $var); 
}

.example {
   color: color(default);
   // 'color(default)' is highlighted
}

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about. I didn't consider that obviously pigments are useful across many languages and thus support for SASS arrays might be out of scope. If that's the case, fair enough! - Thanks for this awesomely useful plugin!

Dear god, please this. I use functions to get colors from different maps.

Sass Map

Function - pigment color is wrong :(

@jameelmoses What does your @function look like?

It should be something like what follows:

@function sitecolor ($sitecolor, $tone: 'base') {
      @return map-get(map-get($sitecolors, $sitecolor), $tone);
}

[jameelmoses]

Yep. It's below. It compiles correctly. Pigments just doesn't pull the color in. It shows orange from the color keyword instead of the assigned hex value.

@function site-color($color, $tone: base) {
  @return map-get(map-get($sitecolors, $color), $tone);
}

@jameelmoses On second look I have the very same thing ;-)

You simply illustrated well the issue at hand with visualization of SASS mapped colors.

While I love this feature, it seems out of scope for Pigments to me. These functions can be spread over multiple files and multiple directories, and could be nested a lot. I'm afraid it's too Sass-specific to be implemented in Pigments. But, as I said before, it's eventually up to Abe33 to decide.
