Solution retrospective


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

When I first looked at this challenge, I thought it would be relatively simple, and that I could complete complete the task in less than a day's work. I was wrong.

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

Unsurprisingly, the problem came with getting the invalid form state to look right. It took so much longer than expected to get the icon, border, and text to show up in the right place; the icon wouldn't show up and it took an unreasonable amount of time to realize that it was showing up, it was just much farther to the right than expected.

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

I am content with where it is as an MVP, but not a final draft. If anyone has any resources on styling forms, or can point me in the direction of what knowledge I'm lacking that is making this so difficult would be much appreciated.

    hi there from what I think you can most likely do is to add the message manually right on top of the input with your preferred styling then manipulate It in JS by displaying it conditionally when the input is invalid.

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, SASS, 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.
