Solution retrospective


This was my first project utilizing an API. I was very excited to start and finally finish this.

Any suggestions on best practices, such as utilizing API's, concise and more convenient SASS coding, and Javascript tips with APIs are very much welcome.

Thank you!

    Looks good Nyrell, congrats on finishing your first project utilizing an API!! Looks very good too. Some minor suggestions:

    1. I'd wrap your code inside the fetchAdvice() function in a try/catch block to catch errors. You could also add an if statement to see if your response returns 200-209 (ex: if (response.ok){ ...some code }). You might find this video useful for some extra tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9vgd9XKlDQ

    2. UI-wise the dice remains rotated after I click on it, unless I click off. You might also want to add some styling to let users know there's the 2 second wait between advice (like a countdown timer and a way to prevent clicking the button, or something).

    Great job again, keep it up!

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, 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.
