Recently I came across a strange word “Mixin”. Got to know that it is something related to “has-a-relationship” in OOPS. A class can be utilized without inheriting it but by having its object in another class. This is very clear. Coming to Magneto 2 , I have seen many articles which are relating this term to javascript, CSS Less etc.

I am curious to know the application of “mixins” in Magneto 2. I can understand that as it is related to OOPs it can apply everywhere but what is the situation or a real time scenario where this will be more helpful and meaningful?

Please feel free to edit my question or add more to it. I just put my thought as it is.
