Improving Clarity in Style Management with Namespacing

·Jul 22, 2025 04:00 PM·

With all the style errors going on and just for conflict resolution, I don’t know why Relume couldn’t just namespace their stuff. Adding “rlm-” to all classes and components would at least help bring more clarity to when projects grow.

Fuzen C. thanks for the feedback! Out of curiosity, what problem do you believe this would solve - just so that I'm clear?

Matt J. projects get messy despite our best intentions. And sometime we are not starting from Relume. A theme would already have classes. And Webflow’s new AI site builder has classes. All I am saying is that looking at our UI and knowing what contributed to our clusterfuck of classes would be nice. At least I know when working with CSS frameworks out of Webflow where a particular class is coming from.

Hmm all of our classes are named following a framework called Client-First - have you looked into?

You’re saying that your class names are prefixed? Where have I been for the last decade?!

naw, I’m saying that we follow a proven and documented framework for how we structure our components. Besides the names of our components (layout22), you wouldn't even be able to tell that its a Relume component which is a huge benefit in my opinion. Whereas prefixing the classes breaks this naming convention and also makes our components different from the rest of the website structure - which I understand is your point but I would say that if a website’s classes are getting chaotic that it likely as more to do with the lack of consistency in following a framework than anything else. https://finsweet.com/client-first/docs/intro
