Solution retrospective


Q1. Percentages for height in flex-items (flex-direction:column) can't be set if height is set as auto, is there a work-around for this.

Q2. Is it a good practice (especially for mobile-first designs) to set width:100% of flex-items since using align-items can disturb the measurements.

Thanks for checking out my solution. Have a good day!

Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉

Welcome to the platform! 🎉 We're thrilled to have you here and excited to see your progress 💪as you continue your front-end development journey.

  • For any element, custom height can be set with either absolute or relative CSS units.
  • You can use custom width for any element to replicate the design/mock-up for both the views (mobile & desktop)
  • Adding the alert() method was cute :)

In my projects:

  • I always start with mobile-first workflow.
  • I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
<body>
<main>
All content 
</main>
</body>
  • I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

  • If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project. Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any knowledge gap please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals and then move on to any framework or library.

  • I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:

📚🔍 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.

📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with other topics.

I hope you find these resources helpful in your coding adventures! 🤞

I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! 🚀💻

Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨
