Solution retrospective


Loved that project. I preferred using the rest api instead the static file. I have used Redux for state management and RTK Query for fetching and caching also made use of the loader from react-router. I also decided to make the theme switching by using daisy-ui and tailwind-css. For styling I used tailwind-css. Tried to cover the 404 response in an Error page. Polished a bit with framer for some minimal animations.

    Nicely done ! I got a little layout issue : When searching for a specific country, your background color doesnt fill the entire viewport height as your grid is on only 1 row. I recommand adding a min-height: 100dvh; to your grid container to avoid this !

    Hey, I have a suggestion, I think it'd be nicer to make the "Dark Mode" text clickable, not just the icon. Even better, make it say "light mode" when it's dark. And "dark mode" when it's light.

    Good luck!

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.
