LessCss - extending css on the fly

Question

I am aware of that you can declare a class :

.someclass { ... }

And then extend it

.otherclass { &:extend(.someclass all) }

But does the .someclass really has to be declared ?

In my case only callers will apply the logic and there is no need for someclass to have the logic declared as well, as it is only a placeholder for similar css.

It would be nice if there was a &:extend(groupingFunction all) .

But maybe there is already?

Currently Less don't support this "placeholder-equivalent".

Checkout this issue: :extend mixins.

You can use the "@import (reference)" feature to somewhat "simulate" this behavior but it can cause unexpected problems in some cases (there are quite a few issues about the import reference feature).
