Using env(safe-area-inset-top) in SCSS with max() function

I am developing a site which I wish to display correctly on devices with a notch (particularly the iPhone X as I own one). In this page the following code sample is given:

@supports(padding: max(0px)) {
    .post {
        padding-left: max(12px, env(safe-area-inset-left));
        padding-right: max(12px, env(safe-area-inset-right));
    }
}

However when I have this set, in Chrome I can see that it's not valid (see photo linked below)

Is there a way to correct this or can an SCSS @if statement be used to detect if a parent element has padding > 0 and if not add 1rem of padding to it?

My problem is not the one mentioned here, this is how I am using the code, I have also tried putting this in a standard CSS file without the unquote however its not working either.

If I read your question right you are referring to the css max function not the max function provided by Sass - also the example is CSS and hence need the mentioned Sass 'hack' to work in SCSS.

The first thing you need to deal with is the iOS 11.0 - 11.2 implementation using constant. The easiest way to do this is to assign the safe-area-inset to CSS variables.

In the example below I've created a default value of 0px for all variables – but you could also use fallback values when using the variables var(--some-var, 12px) (uses 12px if --some-var is not defined).

The second part is your code using the --safe-area-inset variables.

I hope it makes sense :-)

:root {
    /* ------------------------------------------------------------------- 
        Assign the default/constant/env values to CSS variables
    */
    --safe-area-inset-top   : 0px;
    --safe-area-inset-right : 0px;
    --safe-area-inset-bottom: 0px;
    --safe-area-inset-left  : 0px;  

    @supports (top: constant(safe-area-inset-top)){
        --safe-area-inset-top   : constant(safe-area-inset-top);
        --safe-area-inset-right : constant(safe-area-inset-right);
        --safe-area-inset-bottom: constant(safe-area-inset-bottom);
        --safe-area-inset-left  : constant(safe-area-inset-left);          
    }

    @supports (top: env(safe-area-inset-top)){
        --safe-area-inset-top   : env(safe-area-inset-top);
        --safe-area-inset-right : env(safe-area-inset-right);
        --safe-area-inset-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
        --safe-area-inset-left  : env(safe-area-inset-left);            
    }          
}


@supports(padding: Max(0px)) {
    .post {
        /* -------------------------------------------------------------------   
           Use the CSS variables in the max function   
        */
        padding-left:  Max(12px, var(--safe-area-inset-left));
        padding-right: Max(12px, var(--safe-area-inset-right));
    }
}

You need to unquote max in @supports too, the referenced example should be:

@supports(padding: unquote('max(0px)')) {
  padding-left: unquote('max(#{$susy-gutter-width}, env(safe-area-inset-left))');
  padding-right: unquote('max(#{$susy-gutter-width}, env(safe-area-inset-right))');
}
