Solution retrospective


I found it hard to center the component on desktop screen without using the following CSS properties; position, top, left and transform. These properties made my work harder when making it responsive on smaller screens so I just omitted them. Please, let me know how i can achieve centering the component without using those aforementioned properties.

    Hey Caleb, Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! When it comes to centering elements in CSS, there are various techniques available. One method I highly recommend is using Flexbox.

    By implementing the following code in your stylesheet, you can achieve both horizontal and vertical centering:

    body {
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      display: flex;
      justify-content: center;
      align-items: center;
      min-height: 100vh;
    }
    

    For more complex layouts, the Grid system is another excellent option. Here's an example of how to center content within a Grid:

    body {
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      display: grid;
      place-items: center;
      min-height: 100vh;
    }
    .main {
      display: grid;
      grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
      gap: 20px; 
    }
    

    Lastly, you can also use the margin: auto; property to center content, but please note that this method is primarily suitable for horizontal centering.

    I hope this information proves helpful for your future projects. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask.

    Hi Caleb, Congratulation on finishing the challenge. It might be a bit difficult to center elements initially but I'm pretty sure that with time you will adapt to the best solution and patter. There are a couple of ways you could use to center an element but I will mention 2 (as I use them most of the time).

    1. CSS Grid:
    .grid-element{
    display: grid;
    place-items: center; /*This will center the elements inside the grid */
    }
    
    1. CSS Flexbox:
    .d-flex{
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center; //centers the content on horizontal axis
    align-items: center; //aligns the content at center vertically
    }
    

    Depending on how you want to structure your layout, you can use either of these methods. You can check more details about them from Kevin Powell on here: https://youtu.be/rg7Fvvl3taU?si=FSfiY-WPrGgTpUym

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.
