• creating or referencing variables dynamically in sass 5 answers

i'm want make variable list item, can't find method paste dollar sign front of it. beneath methods tried.

$hoi: yellow; $test: hoi;  helpme{   background: $#{$test}; //error   background: $$test; //error   background: $nth($test, 1); //error   background: unquote("$")#{$test}; //output: $hoi   background: unquote("$")nth($test, 1); //output: $ hoi }; 

is there method paste dollar sign before variable , still recognized variable?

with pure sass, can't declare variables names taken other variables.

you can using template generate sass code , parse it.

here's example of how compass generating sprite variables: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16129685/901944

bun advise against it. poor practice leads spaghetti code that's difficult maintain. in cases can manage without approach.
