`layer()` CSS function
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It's been available across browsers since March 2022.
The layer() CSS function is used along with the @import at-rule to put the imported resource in a separate named cascade layer.
Syntax
@import url layer(layer-name); @import "dark.css" layer(framework.themes.dark);
The framework.themes.dark is the layer into which the CSS file would be imported.
Formal syntax
layer() = layer( <layer-name> )
