  Hi Nakoya, great work on this challenge! 😉

  Here are a few tips for improve your code:

  • remove all unnecessary code, the less you write the better as well as being clearer: for example the div container of flag image
  • if I type a query that doesn't give any results, nothing happens, try adding a "no results" message
  • I would also add a query reset button, I find it very convenient
  • in the filters there is no way to return to all countries after choosing a region, add an entry "all region"
  • for the details of countries you can use ul istead a multiple p
  • if I open a country that has some undefined data, such as Antarctica, the details page crash and remains blank because it cannot cycle through non-existent data. Add a pre-check of the data before cycling it
  • using a is fine, alternatively you can hook a click event with javascript on cards

  Overall you did well 😁 Hope this help!

  @denielden Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I'll try to incorporate it into my project. I have an "All regions" option in the custom dropdown component I created. Forgot to add it to the <select> element when I switched back to using that. For the search input, the search is updated as you type and if the field becomes an empty string it goes back to all countries. I'll consider adding the reset button to make that clearer.

  @denielden I'm trying to implement some of your suggestions. You mentioned if you open a country such as Antarctica the details page crashes but I'm checking and Antartica isn't a country option for me. How did you get Antarctica as an option?

  @nakoyawilson search for it via search input, it has a blue flag with white earth in the center :)

  @denielden I was searching for it and relying on the search by partial name feature of the API. After trying out the end point for a bit it appears that results for Antarctica only appear if the full name is typed. From "Anta" to "Antarctic" no results found is displayed. Thanks for pointing this out.
