What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I learnt to use a switch case for grid layout

  • Using a switch case for grid layout customisation is effective when different grid areas need unique positioning based on index or other dynamic factors. It allows me to conditionally assign CSS grid classes to components, enhancing flexibility.
  • Each testimonial requires a distinct placement, so using a switch statement makes it easy to control the layout by assigning specific Tailwind CSS classes to each element based on its index. This method keeps the logic clear, avoids redundancy, and ensures that I can handle changes dynamically with minimal code repetition.

Please comment whether it is a good way or not.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I aimed to make the TestimonialCard component reusable, but each card has slightly different styles. To handle this, I added conditional Tailwind classes like ${bgColor} to match each card's unique style.

However, this increased the complexity of the component, reducing its readability and maintainability. It became harder to follow the logic, as the dynamic classes added clutter to the code. Balancing reusability with clarity is hard.

Please advise how I can improve.

    Great job on completing the challenge! I have just one suggestion:

    • The gridClasses switch can get cumbersome—consider refactoring into reusable components or predefined class sets to make it cleaner.

    Keep up the great work!

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.
