Is BEM still recommended in 2019?

Guil Hernandez

I seem to like the BEM naming convention, but am looking at this course and it was written in 2014 or earlier.

I am wondering now that it is 2019, if you would still recommend BEM?

Naming conventions are naming conventions, this sounds very strange what i am saying but you should use whatever you feel comfortable with. A lot of companies still using BEM as naming convention so its not strange to use them. There is however a new kid on the block which is combination of BEM and Atomic design. See This is an ABEM-naming-convention. I find the combination of these to better then using BEM alone.

Thanks Navid, I will definitely look into ABEM.
