First solution using next.js and tailwindcss.

Solution retrospective
What did you find difficult while building the project?
- This was my first time using tailwind and next.js with the new app router.
- I spend a decent amount of time reading the docs for project layout/installation even though this project was pretty simple.
Which areas of your code are you unsure of?
- I did place the code section in the provided project files as a "footer" here:
function Footer() {
return (
<div className="sticky bottom-0 text-center">
Challenge by{" "}
<a href="https://www.frontendmentor.io?ref=challenge" target="_blank" className="font-bold underline hover:decoration-2">
Frontend Mentor
</a>
. Coded by <a href="https://www.github.com/njpoli" className="font-bold underline hover:decoration-2">njpoli</a>.
</div>
);
}
I placed my footer in the page.tsx file like so:
export default function Page() {
return (
<>
<div className="flex flex-col justify-center items-center h-screen">
<QRCode />
</div>
<Footer />
</>
);
}
However, this created a small scroll bar even though the footer is correctly sticking to the bottom of the viewport. When I place the footer inside of the div with the QRCode component, it doesnt go to the bottom of the viewport, it is directly under the QRCode component. How can I have the footer stick to the bottom without creating a scrollbar?
Do you have any questions about best practices?
Should the footer contain the sticky css property or does that belong in the parent component? Any other tips/suggestions welcome as well.
