LESS - using BEM selector with extra class on parent to deviate
I have some markup that looks about like this -
<div class="card">
<div class="card__icon">Icon</div>
<div class="card__text">Text</div>
</div>
Which I am styling with a little LESS like so -
.card {
&__icon {
font-size: 1.75em;
@media (min-width: 992px) {
font-size: 2em;
}
}
&__text {
font-size: 1em;
}
}
This works great - however the parent is getting toggled a class .current on it and I was trying to change one of the childrens styles using the same methods, but could not seem to get it working. I was trying this -
.card {
&__icon {
font-size: 1.75em;
@media (min-width: 992px) {
font-size: 2em;
}
}
&__text {
font-size: 1em;
}
&.current {
// this is not working
&__text {
color: red;
}
}
}
I can change the &__text inside the &.current to .card__text and it works fine - however I was wondering if there was a way I could keep the &__text syntax inside the &.current with using LESS. Thanks!

According to the documentation, the parent selector & expands to the whole parent nested rule, taking each nested rule parent as is and inserting it in place of `&, so in your case
.card {
&.current {
&__text {
color: red;
}
}
}
compiles to
.card.current__text {
color: red;
}
which is not what we want, because class current__text does not exist. To avoid that you may rearrange the class selectors in your less rules like so:
.card {
.current & {
&__text {
color: red;
}
}
}
which compiles to:
.current .card__text {
color: red;
}
