Solution retrospective


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

Managed to build with almost no 3rd party libraries. Using only the modular CSS and proper import order, to have CSS rules that can me extended and overwriten without having to resort to !important or increasing CSS specificity.

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

I wanted to implement the form styling, including error states without using form libraries. Dealing with touch state and styling of error messages I did surrender and just used react-hook-form, which is at least a lot more light weight than Formik.

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

suggestions for organizing CSS. could I have made the breakpoint specific CSS more readable.

if had used scss I could have used mixins. but I wanted to try without scss and just use as close to plain vite as possible.

    I must say that you’ve done quite an excellent job. Your code structure is outstanding. I’m a beginner in ReactJS and I’m already fascinated by the potential of this powerful library. But the mobile design layout of the code does not match the design from FrontEndMentor, at least not on my mobile device anyway.

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.
