Solution retrospective


Here is my solution to the project. I have made a few modifications to the original design:

  • The "generate" button is disabled if either all the boxes are unchecked or the password length is 0.
  • Instead of the word "copied" showing beside the clipboard button (which could possibly be an issue with a longer password), a toast notification will display when the password is copied to clipboard.
  • The password strength meter calculates the password strength as the user sets options, so the user already knows the password strength before generating the password.

I also added additional CSS rules so that if the user has forced colors (high contrast) active, the form controls and buttons will still display well.

I did have quite a bit of difficulty with styling the slider. I was not able to get the left side of the bar to show as green without running into other display glitches. Since it does not affect functionality and is not a major visual problem, I'm submitting the solution, but I may revisit the problem sometime later. Any suggestions on styling the range input, or any other suggestions for improvement, are welcome.

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.
