The ONE Rule for Using Classes in Bricks

You know what classes are for, but you have no system for when to create them in Bricks? You're not alone. This video gives you one simple rule for when to create classes in Bricks Builder. Clear enough to follow yourself, and clear enough to hand to an AI assistant. I’m not saying this is the “right” way or the only way. But I see so many Bricks users using classes without any sort of system (which is bad). So this is a simple rule anyone can follow. (BEM is great, and I use it myself. But BEM was designed to solve a problem that doesn’t really exist in Bricks. Plus, many of my students struggle with using it properly, as it was intended to be used.) ✨ *Bricks Accelerator* is my 6-week live program teaching reusability, framework thinking, and how to build entire dynamic websites in Bricks. ✨ Register your interest for the next cohort here: https://davefoy.link/ba 00:00 Intro 01:16 Q1: What are classes for? 07:03 Q2: When to use a class 07:49 Reason 1: Theme Styles 08:25 Reason 2: Direct styling 09:29 Reason 3: Components 10:55 The one decision rule 11:55 Q3: How to name classes 14:01 Bricks Accelerator
