    Hi Raj, good job! I took some time to look at your code and have some ideas for improving it:

    • add main tag and wrap the content of page for improve the Accessibility
    • in the details page border countries are missing
    • add discernible text to Buttons and hide with hidden class
    • to make it look as close to the design as possible remove .p-5 class to div of card country and use another div with .p-5 for the under text information
    • the background of dark mode doesn't cover the whole page but only the beginning
    • if you want to use the capital for the href attribute you have to parse it in url, it can give problems creating links with empty spaces or special characters
    • if I type a query that doesn't give any results, nothing happens, try adding a "no results" message
    • I would also add a query reset button, I find it very convenient
    • to make all flag images the same height use the object-fit: cover property

    Overall you did well 😉

    Hope this help and happy coding!

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.
