Solution retrospective


I am not sure about the way to handle the country flag image, I like to use a div as a container to handle that, but this time it seems a little bit tricky.

I used vite with vue3 + vue-router + typescript to build the app, used the <Transition> component to show animation, and used an experimental component called <Suspense> to display the skeleton loading animation while the data stilling fetching.

When fetching the API in async, the most interesting and challenging part is the border countries, since the API only gives me a string that looks like country code "AND" or something, I need to use it to fetch data once again and return an array as the final result I want.

If anyone has a better solution on handle images and getting border countries' names, please let me know, thanks!!

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.
