Back to Gists
/**
  * Include this Sass mixin for aspect-ratio. Includes fallback
  * for browsers that do not support aspect-ratio. This fallback is really not necessary at this point unless
  * a specific browser you need to support.
  * 
  * Usage:
  * @include aspect-ratio(16,9);
  * creates a 16x9 container using aspect-ratio for supported browsers with fallback for browsers that do not. 
  * 
  * Codepen Example: https://codepen.io/knolaust/pen/KKZwXjv
  * Gist Keywords: sass, scss, mixin, aspect ratio
