How can I get the site name variable inside a sharepoint extension using sharepoint framework? Need to get the name of the site where the extension is deployed.Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

One way is to use the PageContext object as described in the following article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/connect-to-sharepoint AFAIK the context object is also available in an Extension. The property pageContext.web.title contains the name of the site. PnP-JS-Core also provides easy access to a lot of functionality and properties of SharePoint objects, have a look at it here: https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-JS-Core

  How would I go about add the absoluteURL in a .scss file like so:
  
  background: url("$this.props.context.pageContext.site.absoluteUrl/Shared%20Documents/Banner/MissionJapanBanner.png") center center no-repeat
  
  Thanks !

  Great, thanks! I used this breadcrumb extension as an example.
