Solution retrospective
What I'm most proud of:
-
Comprehensive Form Validation - The implementation includes robust client-side validation with proper error messaging and accessibility features (aria-describedby, role="alert").
-
Accessibility Features - The form includes proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation support, and semantic HTML structure with proper roles for screen readers.
What I would do differently next time:
-
Form Persistence - Add localStorage to save form progress so users don't lose data if they accidentally refresh the page.
-
Enhanced Validation - Add more sophisticated phone number validation and real-time validation feedback as users type.
some of the challenges I faced & How i overcome them...
-
Complex Validation Logic:
My Challenge: Different validation rules for each step (required fields, email format, plan selection).
My Solution: I Created avalidateCurrentStep()
function that handles step-specific validation, with dedicated functions likevalidatePersonalInfo()
andvalidatePlanSelection()
. Added real-time validation withblur
andinput
event listeners. -
Form State Management Across Multiple Steps.
My Challenge: Maintaining user data as they navigate between steps without losing information.
My Solution: Implemented a centralizedformData
object that stores personal info, plan selection, add-ons, and billing preferences. This ensures data persistence throughout the form journey.
Some Areas Where I Could Use Some Help:
- Form Persistence & Data Recovery
- Add localStorage to save progress so users don't lose data on page refresh
- Implement session recovery functionality
- Enhanced Validation & User Experience:
- Real-time validation feedback as users type
- Better phone number validation with formatting
- Visual indicators for completed steps
- Smooth animations between step transitions
- Accessibility Improvements:
- Enhanced keyboard navigation between form elements
- Better screen reader announcements for step changes
- Focus management when navigating between steps
