Solution retrospective


Users are able to save their data on the browsers local storage. On initial page landing, users will have 0 files in their storage.

This project was a great way to incorporate the React Context API. The current file state had to be in 2 different components, one in the nav bar component (edit title name) and one in the editor component (main content). I decided to create a context for the markdown data which consisted of 2 states (All files and currentFile). This also made it easier to update the file title and content whenever the user made any changes (onChange). Once the user is ready to save, those changes will be implemented and saved into storage for the user.

This is also a good fullstack project, I would like to eventually make this into that with an auto save and file download features.

If you find any bugs or issues feel free to comment or tips!

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 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.
