Solution retrospective


Hi, everyone! 👋🏻

I had fun practicing DOM manipulation in this challenge. My solution features:

  • CSS animations between states
  • An error message when submitted with no value selected
  • Accessibility: aria-live attribute, prefers-reduced-motion media query, outlines for keyboard navigation, and screen reader focus management via the focus() method.

Questions:

  • The numbers inside the buttons look a little bit off-center vertically. Why? I have centered the radio button + label with Grid, and the line-height of the label is equal to the size of the button, so they should be centered. Does this have something to do with the font itself?
  • Are there any best practices when it comes to styling components and pages for big screens (QHD, 4K)? I'd appreciate any tips and resources about this.
  • How can I set up a simple back end to which I could send the ratings and make the form actually work?

Any feedback, comments and suggestions are very welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SASS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
