Responsive Product Preview Card Component with Darkmode using SASS

Solution retrospective
I started the project mobile-first and I struggled a little switching from using <img> to background-image because I realized there had to be a change in images in the desktop view. I'd like to know if anyone used <img> all the way for both mobile and desktop and how you went about it. Also please feel free to point out any best practices I may have missed. Thanks.

Hi @mbonamensa 👋, good job for completing this challenge!
In addition to the above comments and answering your question, you can use
<picture>
tag when you need to change the image on different viewports, using this tag will prevent the browser from loading both images, saving bandwidth and preventing you from using a media query to modify the image More information hereExample:
<picture> <source media="(max-width: 545px)" srcset="./img/image-product-mobile.jpg"> <img src="./img/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="your_alt_text"> </picture>
In this solution you should not use the background property to set the image because this image has an important semantic meaning, use CSS background property if the image is not part of the content.
Good Job and happy coding !

Hey 👋, really love your solution 👌. Just a few tips that can help out.
- I noticed you added a feature to your work to alternate background colors. Try adding a box shadow to your card container to express it more on the white background.
- Also in terms of using image, what I usually do is create a custom image class and assign it to my desired image element. Then in css I add ( width: 100%, height: 100%, and object-fit: cover:). This works really well, and I can persist the custom image name wherever I want to use an image element. Hope this helped, happy coding 👨🏾💻👍
