The simple answer is: you can’t because Sass can’t (or won’t) compose the selector for it. You can’t be inside of a media query and extend something that’s outside of a media query. It certainly would be nice if it would simply take a copy of it instead of trying to compose the selectors. But it doesn’t so you can’t.
Use a mixin
If you have a case where you’re going to be reusing a block of code inside and outside of media queries and still want it to be able to extend it, then write both a mixin and an extend class:
@mixin foo {
// do stuff
}
%foo {
@include foo;
}
// usage
.foo {
@extend %foo;
}
@media (min-width: 30em) {
.bar {
@include foo;
}
}
Extend the selector within a media query from the outside
This won’t really help your use case, but it is another option:
%foo {
@media (min-width: 20em) {
color: red;
}
}
@media (min-width: 30em) {
%bar {
background: yellow;
}
}
// usage
.foo {
@extend %foo;
}
.bar {
@extend %bar;
}
Wait until Sass lifts this restriction (or patch it yourself)
There are a number of ongoing discussions regarding this issue (please don’t contribute to these threads unless you have something meaningful to add: the maintainers are already aware that users desire this functionality, it’s just a question of how to implement it and what the syntax should be).
