Solution retrospective


Firstly A big BIG Thank you once again to FrontEndMentor.io for this Challenge, and a hello to all the passionate developers out there. Well it has been a long journey for me on this one where i have been trying to find the right APIs which have not been easy but i have at last managed to work around the issues. With being eager to get to know NodeJS i have setup a backend NodeJS "serverless" server on glitch.com to... 1: Hide\Protect API Keys, 2: Serve Maps, 3:Provide IP addresss via dns.resolve. On the 3rd point i did try and find what APIs were out there but all of them required a payment or a very limited number of clicks for testing etc.. So i decided to do this bit in the end via the nodeJs Server itself using dns.resolve . For APIs i used 1: "ipgeolocation.io" - for IP address Details. 2:"https://api.bigdatacloud.net" - retrieving public ip address. 3: "https://developer.here.com/documentation/examples/rest/map-image" - for retrieving and serving the map on nodeJS via the coordinates sent from "ipgeolocation.io". I hope that makes sense 😅. One thing i did wonder about was deciding what to do when a list of more than one ip addresses was provided from a domain like Yahoo.com. Here i decided to use the notification to list all the ips provided that the user can copy and advise the user that will use the first ip in the list. I am more than happy to walk through with anyone interested on how i put it all together to help others learn, with me on this learning journey as well in the world of Web Development. All the Best, M.

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.
