Hello community members,

I just finished the rest countries API with theme switcher challege. Please help review, any feedback is greatly appreciated ! :)

I struggled a bit to the card spacing and alignment as per the design, I noticed there is quite a bit of spacing between two cards. I used the map method to display the country data in the cards, I wasn't able to add space between the cards without adding it at the edges which caused the start and end margin cards to be misaligned with the search input and filter dropdown. The current layout I have looks similar but not same as that provided in the image. Was wondering if anyone had any feedback on how to achieve that spacing in-between cards without misaligning the start and end?

Also, I used the bootstraps v5 color modes to implement the theme toggler switcher but had to customize the default dark theme to match the style guide provided. Was wondering if that's the right approach or should I have defined a custom theme itself or any other better approach to implementing theme toggling?

Thanks, snhase

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.
