Solution retrospective


Decided to use Node to sanitize the incoming data. Kept the client side JS very minimal.

Local Storage utilized to save theme.

Any suggestions or comments welcome.

    Hey, good work on this challenge, David Payne! 👏

    I like the little rotating globe that you added next to the heading! 🙌

    The region filter seems to be working fine for me. 👍

    I suggest

    • Adding a hover state to the options in the region select box to the right of the page.
    • Perhaps making sure that the country cards don't cover up the region select box when the select box is open and any one of the country cards are hovered over.

    Keep coding (and happy coding, too)! 😁

    Nice job !. You can improve it, showing only the countries filtered by region.

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.
