# dollar-variable-no-missing-interpolation Disallow Sass variables that are used without interpolation with CSS features that use custom identifiers. ```scss .class { $var: "my-anim"; animation-name: $var; // ↑ // This variable needs to be interpolated // because its value is a string } ``` Sass variables that contain a custom identifier as a string always require interpolation when used. Some CSS [at-rules](https://css-tricks.com/the-at-rules-of-css/) require variable interpolation even when the custom identifier value is not a string. For example, your CSS animation could look like this: ```scss animation: myAnim 5s; ``` When you store your custom identifier as string in a Sass variable... ```scss $myVar: "myAnim"; ``` ...then you need to make sure that the variable is interpolated when it gets used: ```scss animation: #{$myVar} 5s; ``` If you do not interpolate the variable, Sass will compile your animation name to a string, producing invalid CSS: ```scss animation: "myAnim" 5s; ``` This rule can only check for variables that are defined inside the same file where they are used. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```scss $var: my-anim; @keyframes $var {} ``` ```scss $var: "circled-digits"; @counter-style $var { system: fixed; symbols: ➀ ➁ ➂; suffix: ' '; speak-as: numbers; } ``` ```scss $var: "my-counter"; body { counter-reset: $var; } ``` ```scss $var: "my-anim"; @supports (animation-name: $var) { @keyframes {} } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```scss $var: my-anim; @keyframes #{$var} {} ``` ```scss $var: circled-digits; @counter-style #{$var} { system: fixed; symbols: ➀ ➁ ➂; suffix: ' '; speak-as: numbers; } ``` ```scss $var: my-counter; body { counter-reset: $var; } ``` ```scss $var: my-anim; @supports (animation-name: $var) { @keyframes {} } ```
