Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I am proud that I successfully checked every criterion for this challenge. It took more time than I estimated, though. I will try to stick to my development time frame in future projects.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I had quite a few challenges whilst building the solution for this challenge:

  1. Light dark theme: Being my first time implementing a light dark theme with react and sass, it proved to be quite challenging for me, but thankfully with a lot of trial and error It was successful.

  2. Blank reloading after routing: I noticed an issue with my app where after routing to the selected country's details page. If the page was reloaded, the app seemed to break or return a 404 error. I was able to solve this issue by refetching the country's data in the details page whenever it is reloaded and redirecting the app to the index page where React would then handle the client-side routing and display the correct page.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I believe I successfully implemented all the requested features, but I would like feedback on the app's overall functionality, responsiveness, interface, and accessibility.

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.
