QR Code Component Challenge

@HugoPadilla Just saw your solution and you did great as well. My question is how did you have get the scale so close, i.e. the size of the white box? Was it a matter of calculation based on the resolution of the reference? Thanks!

@karlkodes That's an interesting question!

Basically I use as references the absolute size of the paragraph and the other element I use measures relative to this size to keep the proportion.

Thanks that in the challenge they provide us style-guide.md where we can find the absolute measure in the body copy for the font size of the paragraph: font-size: 15px. I take as a reference the size of this element to adjust the size of the other neighboring elements. To achieve this I use relative units like rem and em. You can learn more about relative units here

I share some recommendations that can help you:

• Using the display: inline-flex property on the card allows the width and height to be produced by the width, height, padding and margin of the child elements.
• For text I provide units relative to the width property and try to find the appropriate value that makes it look similar to the reference layout. You can also play with the text line spacing and spacing.
• From here I can use properties like padding and margin on the elements to separate them as well as possible (I also try to use relative units here).

In the end the size of the card is driven by the size, margins and spacing of the elements inside it.
