ECSS

⚠️ For small things, such as Anki Programming Themes, this is overkill. It's proven effective for large-scale projects with large teams. The alternative that I'm now working with is GPS (global, page, section). I couple that with a couple of cherry picked features from ECSS.

Ben Frain's ECSS naming conventions. All components are self-contained, grouped with their html/js/... files. Roll your own classes and components!

Example

shopping-cart-template/
- shopping-cart.html
- shopping-cart.css
- shopping-cart.js

// .[namespace][-ModuleOrComponent][_ChildNode][-variant]
.namespace-ModuleOrComponent_ChildNode-variant {}

// A standalone component
.sc-Title {}
.sc-RemoveBtn {}

// A component with multiple views
.mc-ShoppingCart_Title {}
.mc-ShoppingCart_RemoveBtn {}

CSS declaration order

Use css declaration order by @mdo. Mixins (if any) also come first.

1. Positioning
2. Box model
3. Typography
4. Visual
5. Miscellaneous

.declaration-order
  // Mixins
  baseline-grid()

  // Positioning
  position: absolute
  top: 0
  right: 0
  bottom: 0
  left: 0
  z-index: 100

  // Box model
  display: block
  float: right
  width: 100px
  height: 100px

  // Typography
  font: normal 13px "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif
  line-height: 1.5
  color: #333
  text-align: center

  // Visual
  background-color: #f5f5f5
  border: 1px solid #e5e5e5
  border-radius: 3px
