Sass Component Inheritance Manager

Algorithm description:

This Sass mixin facilitates a component inheritance model by merging a base set of styles with an extension set. It uses `map-merge` to combine properties, allowing new styles to be added or existing ones to be overridden. A recursive helper mixin handles nested style properties, such as those found in typography or spacing. This pattern promotes code reuse and maintainability by defining core component styles and then creating variations without duplicating code, essential for large-scale UI development.

Algorithm explanation:

The `extend-component` mixin takes two maps: `$base-styles` and `$extension-styles`. It uses `map-merge($base-styles, $extension-styles, true)` to create a new map `$merged-styles` where properties from `$extension-styles` take precedence. The `true` argument ensures deep merging of nested maps. It then iterates through the `$merged-styles`, applying each property and value. If a value is itself a map (indicating nested properties like `font-size` or `margin`), it calls the `nested-style-apply` helper mixin. This helper recursively applies nested properties, concatenating parent and child property names (e.g., `font-size-family`). The `extend-component-safe` mixin adds an edge case check for an empty `$extension-styles` map, preventing unintended behavior. Time complexity is O(B * S) where B is the number of base styles and S is the number of extension styles, due to map merging and iteration. Space complexity is O(B + S) for the merged map.

Pseudocode:

mixin extend-component(base_styles, extension_styles):
  merged_styles = merge maps base_styles and extension_styles (deep merge)

  for each property, value in merged_styles:
    if value is a map:
      call nested_style_apply(property, value)
    else:
      set property to value

mixin nested_style_apply(parent_property, nested_map):
  for each child_property, child_value in nested_map:
    if child_value is a map:
      call nested_style_apply(parent_property + '-' + child_property, child_value)
    else:
      set parent_property + '-' + child_property to child_value

mixin extend-component-safe(base_styles, extension_styles):
  if extension_styles is empty:
    call extend-component(base_styles, base_styles)
  else:
    call extend-component(base_styles, extension_styles)
