Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

Hey there! I'm excited to share that I've completed the challenge, although it did take me a bit of time. I made some enhancements, including a feature that will greet you with a happy birthday if today's date matches your birthdate.

I tweaked the error message for the year input to be more user-friendly and set the starting year to 1700. Now, instead of saying "must be in the past," it simply states "must be a valid year." This adjustment covers a broader range, ensuring it works smoothly from the year 1700 and beyond.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I have a hard time coming up with a solution for calculating the age.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I need someone to test if the app I made is working correctly.

    Great job🎉

    The "happy birthday" message and the singular forms of "year", "month", and so on were nice touches! I suggest you use <input type="text" inputmode="numeric"> or <input type="number"> to make the user's keyboard numeric.

    Keep coding 🔥

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.
