Returns $string as a quoted string.

SCSS Syntax

@debug string.quote("Helvetica"); // "Helvetica"

string.index($string, $substring)
str-index($string, $substring) //=> number

Returns the first index of $substring in $string, or null if $string doesn’t contain $substring.

@debug string.insert("Roboto Bold", " Mono", -6); // "Roboto Mono Bold"

If $index is higher than the length of $string, $insert is added to the end. If $index is smaller than the negative length of the string, $insert is added to the beginning.

SCSS Syntax

@debug string.insert("Roboto", " Bold", 100); // "Roboto Bold"
@debug string.insert("Bold", "Roboto ", -100); // "Roboto Bold"

string.length($string)

Returns the slice of $string starting at index $start-at and ending at index $end-at (both inclusive).

SCSS Syntax

@debug string.slice("Helvetica Neue", 11); // "Neue"
@debug string.slice("Helvetica Neue", 1, 3); // "Hel"

Returns a bracketed, comma-separated list of substrings of $string that are separated by $separator. The $separators aren’t included in these substrings.

If $limit is a number 1 or higher, this splits on at most that many $separators (and so returns at most $limit + 1 strings). The last substring contains the rest of the string, including any remaining $separators.

SCSS Syntax

@debug string.split("Segoe UI Emoji", " "); // ["Segoe", "UI", "Emoji"]
@debug string.split("Segoe UI Emoji", " ", $limit: 1); // ["Segoe", "UI Emoji"]

@debug string.to-upper-case("Bold"); // "BOLD"
@debug string.to-upper-case(sans-serif); // SANS-SERIF

string.to-lower-case($string)
to-lower-case($string) //=> string

Returns a copy of $string with the ASCII letters converted to lower case.

@debug string.to-lower-case("Bold"); // "bold"
@debug string.to-lower-case(SANS-SERIF); // sans-serif

string.unique-id()
unique-id() //=> string

Returns a randomly-generated unquoted string that’s guaranteed to be a valid CSS identifier and to be unique within the current Sass compilation.

SCSS Syntax

@debug string.unique-id(); // uabtrnzug
@debug string.unique-id(); // u6w1b1def

string.unquote($string)
unquote($string) //=> string

Returns $string as an unquoted string. This can produce strings that aren’t valid CSS, so use with caution.

SCSS Syntax

@debug string.unquote("Helvetica"); // Helvetica
@debug string.unquote(".widget:hover"); // .widget:hover
