Solution retrospective


Unsure about the days calculation

I spent a lot of time working on the calculations to compute the age in years, months, days based on a birth date. Initially, I incorrectly calculated the days. At first I thought the days represented the number of days since one's birthday.

However, after checking the design specs it looks more like it's number of days since the day of your birth.

For example, at the time of this writing it is June 11. If you were born on the the 4th of June, then it's been 7 days since your birthday so you would be XX years, 0 months, and 7 days.

Feedback welcome

Hopefully, I've (re)interpreted this correctly and properly implemented the code for it. If not, I would greatly appreciate feedback on my error and how to improve it.

Other feedback related to styling or best practices for HTML/CSS/JS/React is also welcome.

Thank you.

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.
