Solution retrospective


Hello people and welcome to my Ip Address Tracker solution!

I chose this challenge because I wanted to deep into react-leaflet, had some previous experience building JS apps with leaflet map, but react-leaflet makes it very different than standard leaflet. Don't take in consideration the styles of this App, just wanted to get the functionally working, not a pixel perfect replication of the challenge!

My major struggles was to work with the state of the map and update it using my react context, I had to learn the react-leaflet documentation and get a lot of research to get the desired result!

For the form validation I used the useRef hook to check the value and return an error if the Ip address entered in the form isn't validate. Also used the useRef hook to get the value from the input and pass it to the url.

The API key is on environment variables, that's why I provided to github an example.env instead of the .env file!

Also any consideration on how I landed the map?, I prefer that the user doesn't get to move the map, just get a static view of the IP location.

Any feedback is welcome, thank you in advance, and keep front-ending!

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.
