Understanding semantic modular CSS
Semantic modular CSS is about writing CSS in a way that is both meaningful and modular. This means creating styles that not only describe what elements are but also how they function within a component-based structure. The goal is to improve the maintainability, readability, and scalability of your CSS:
- Semantic naming involves using class names that clearly describe the purpose and function of an element. For example, instead of using
.blue-button
, use.btn-primary
to describe a primary button. This makes your CSS more readable and easier to understand. - Modular CSS involves breaking down styles into reusable, independent modules or components. For example, instead of styling buttons differently in various parts of your style sheet, create a single
.btn
class that can be extended with modifier classes such as.btn-primary
or.btn-secondary
. This approach reduces duplication and makes your styles easier to maintain.
