How to approach BEM in a modular way?

The thinner the footprint the better.
Without all the heavy lifters like enb, only bem-tools maybe.

This is what I try:

npm install -g bem
mkdir bem-playground
cd bem-playground
bem create level my-blocks
bem create -b foo-block -l my-blocks -t <WHAT TYPE TO START WITH?>

html type is deprecated, list of types, I guess, is here: https://github.com/bem/bem-tools/tree/master/lib/techs/v2
Default types are empty so no block is created without -t.

Ok, I can create block manually. But what's next?
To assemble blocks into a page, I guess, I need some bemdecl and some assembler (enb again).
So I can't escape complexity footprint of enb onto my stack, right?

@ilyaigpetrov Actually bem-tools since 0.10.0 uses ENB for bem make command under the hood.

The easiest way to start is to clone https://github.com/bem/project-stub.git where everything is already set up.

To answer your initial question: we're working on tiny modules to use as grunt, gulp or webpack plugins but we can't promise release date yet (not quite soon though). So right now you are to use ENB or bem-tools with ENB inside to have all the power of BEM platform.

But feel free to ask any questions or feature requests — we'll be happy to help.
