    I looked at the developer documentation on Child Theme.

    It is a multi step procedure:

    1. Create a child theme folder
    2. Create a stylesheet: style.css
    3. Enqueue stylesheet (with a functions.php)

    I had hoped that the plugin performs all steps necessary to be “boilerplate ready”. It does 1 + 2. But not step 3.

    I had hoped that it creates:

    • a boilerplate assets/blocks/ folder
    • with one boilerplate core-NameOfProminentBlock.css (with all Modular-CSS BEM-style selectors already there, only the attributes all empty)
    • and a functions.php already set up that it enqueues all the assets/blocks/ recursively through that array loading technique (pardon my amateurish language, I am a UX designer knowing CSS, but not PHP).

    So that I know whatever other block specific CSS files that I create (by duplicating the boilerplate core-NameOfProminentBlock.css ) automatically gets added properly.

    Now I need to learn all this myself and create it manually. Surely doing many errors along the way. I had hoped that the plugin also helps me to expedite that part.

    I hope that you will extend the plugin with more automatization in that regard too. Thanks!
