Solution retrospective

Just started learning some JavaScript and this is my crack at doing some work on my own. I got to learn a whole lot while implementing some of the features of this project. I am open to suggestions on how I could do better.

  1. I got to work with ES6 classes.
  2. I got to learn about how the DOM works and also some of the methods and properties that can be used on HTML elements.
  3. I also to know the difference between a Node and an Element.
  4. I know using Parcel might have not been necessary to use but I wanted to learn how it works.

Some questions for the community?

  • Are they better ways I could have made this accessible to more users?
  • Did I implement some good coding practices during the small project?
  • Are the hover and active states done very well?

    Hey there! 👋 Here are some suggestions to help improve your code:

    • The “icons/illustrations” in this component are purely decorative. ⚠️ Their alt tag should be left blank and have an aria-hidden=“true” to hide them from assistive technology.

    More Info: 📚

    [MDN Aria-Hidden] (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-hidden#description)

    • To ensure that the "rating buttons" are fully accessible 💯, they need to be built using a form ⚠️.
    1. Everything will be wrapped inside a fieldset which will have a legend that is visually hidden using CSS.
    2. Inside, there should be five input radios and each input should have a label attached to it to make the “ratings” accessible.
    3. The last thing you will want to include will be a button so users can submit their choice.

    More Info: 📚

    MDN: <input type="radio">

    MDN: Field Set Element

    • Once the top is implemented , for your JS, the eventListener should be on the form ⚠️ as a submit.

    More Info:📚

    Click vs. Submit EventListeners

    If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out to me.

    Happy Coding! 🎆🎊🪅
