Classes for elements…  
For a uniform design across my entire app, I’m looking into using classes assigned to each element.  
I notice, especially for the ‘Select’ element, that I have to assign:

- A class to the select,
- A class to the text (used as placeholder and in the options).

This means that when I add my ‘select’ element to a page, I have to:

- Click on the select and assign the “select-standard” class
- Click on the placeholder and assign the “text-14px” class
- Click on each option and assign the “text-14px” class

Isn’t there a faster way? 🤔

- Perhaps adding one class to the entire select so it automatically applies to all elements inside, to avoid multiple clicks?
- Or defining a default class for an element? For example, so that whenever I add a ‘select’, it automatically has the ‘select-standard’ class by default?
