Solution retrospective


What I found difficult while building this project was most with the images, I had a tough time making them responsive, so I would like to ask my fellow developers for the best way to make images responsive (pinching them in and out).

The areas of my code I'm most unsure of are mostly my JavaScript section more especially because I'm new to it, but here it is below:

const CloseMenu = document.querySelector('.close-menu-sect'); const NavWrap = document.querySelector('.nav-wrapper');

CloseMenu.addEventListener('click', () => { NavWrap.classList.toggle('hide'); })

So my questions are :

  1. What are the best ways of making and image responsive?
  2. Is there an easier way to write JavaScript code other than the way I wrote it?
  3. Is there any way to write CSS code more easily and efficiently?

    Hey! Good job and congratulations on completing this challenge // Here I've few feedbacks based on my observation: - font family is missing, mobile menu is also missing same goes for the hamburger. Other than that for css improvisation I suggest use css preprocessor such as SASS, or simply use bootstrap with the basic required css customisation. Happy Coding :)

    Hey 👋

    Good job on completing this challenge

    For your questions, here is my suggestions:

    • To make your images responsive, you can give an object-fit: cover property to the image to fill in its container and you can give your images a display: block/inline-block to style it correctly and give it width: 100% and height: 100%
    • For easy way to write CSS code, I will suggest using CSS pre-processors such us SASS, you can check this Sass tutorial for more info
    • For javascript there are a bunch options out there but you should be comfortable with javascript syntax before you dive into learning javascript frameworks or libraries. You can learn React.

    Happy 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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
