Product preview card component using CSS Grid, BEM and CSS Variables
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
Can anyone explain the best use cases for Grid and Flexbox? I tried making this in Flexbox first, but it seemed very cumbersome so I read up on Grid and it seemed a lot more controllable.
Apart from nav bars and the odd horizontal or vertical scaling content, would people primarily just use Grid now a days?

Hello there 👋. Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! 🎉
- I have other recommendations regarding your code that I believe will be of great interest to you.
BODY MEASUREMENTS 📐:
- Use
min-height: 100vh
forbody
instead ofheight: 100vh
. Setting theheight: 100vh
may result in the component being cut off on smaller screens, such as mobile devices in landscape orientation.
- For example; if we set
height: 100vh
then thebody
will have100vh
height no matter what. Even if the content spans more than100vh
of viewport.
- But if we set
min-height: 100vh
then thebody
will start at100vh
, if the content pushes thebody
beyond100vh
it will continue growing. However if you have content that takes less than100vh
it will still take100vh
in space.
.
I hope you find this helpful 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great !
Happy coding!

First off, let me say your solution looks great!
As far as Flexbox or Grid, it really comes down to your personal preference in my opinion.
I tend to use Grid to layout the page and Flex on smaller 'components' (think nav-bars, footers, cards, etc.) but it really comes down to what you feel more comfortable with.
With great browser support for both tools, you can use either freely.
Good job with this challenge and good question!

Flexbox is prefered here, grid is for more complex layout, 2d layouts to be precise.
