Expense Chart Component Vanilla JS CSS HTML Flexbox
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
I'm trying to solidify my knowledge and application of B.E.M class names and I was just wondering if you also find it difficult to just keep on finding the most descriptive name for that element. Is there a technique that will push me in the right direction?

I also find BEM naming to be kind of tedious (still useful though). If you're running out of brain power for names maybe you could try double modules?
ex: instead of
expense-component__balance-title
andexpense-component__balance-amount
expense-component__balance__
and then you'd have the submodulestitle
andamount
. Maybe then you could be undescriptive while still being confident you avoid a naming collision?I noticed you're not using sass. If you're using BEM it can make it far less horrible through nesting. Instead of writing out the full module for everything:
.expense-component__ { &balance-amount {} &balance-title{} &stats-container {} &stats-end {} }
etc.
Marked as helpful1@Unal-InanliPosted over 2 years ago@sinjin25 Cheers for the quick response. The sub-module approach might be a good way to go specifically for these one and done component kind of projects, but it might get messy and hard to read in bigger projects.
I guess composing a single block / component from multiple blocks would be also something to consider. E.g. the <h1> parts in the markup would have a "text__heading--1" kind of class.
Regardless thanks again and the experimentation never stops.
(P.S. i do use sass i was just lazy to set it up)
