rResult Summary Component using React

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I’m most proud of successfully implementing the results summary component and making it fully responsive across various devices. It was a rewarding challenge to work on, especially as it required setting up dynamic data rendering and styling components to achieve a clean, user-friendly layout. I also felt a sense of accomplishment with fine-tuning the visual details to match the design specifications closely. Seeing the component render seamlessly was very satisfying!

Next time, I’d streamline the development workflow to minimize some of the issues I encountered, like troubleshooting Git configurations and browser compatibility inconsistencies. I’d also focus more on planning component structures early in the project to make sure everything integrates smoothly. Additionally, exploring CSS utility classes or experimenting with a CSS-in-JS approach could improve the styling process.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

• Dynamic Data Rendering: One of the primary challenges was setting up the component to render data dynamically from a local file. Initially, it was difficult to ensure that each data point displayed correctly, particularly when structuring the component for reusability. I overcame this by breaking the component into smaller, more focused pieces, like ResultCard and SummaryList, allowing each to handle its own piece of data independently.

• Styling to Match Design Specs: Replicating the exact design with specific styling requirements was more challenging than expected. After several attempts using different CSS approaches, I managed to achieve this by experimenting with box-shadow and border properties, eventually finding the best way to place subtle shadows where needed.

• Browser Compatibility Issues: I encountered unexpected rendering inconsistencies between Chrome and Firefox.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

This being my first React project, there are several areas where guidance would be invaluable:

• Code Optimization: I’d like feedback on my component structure and if there are ways to make the code more efficient or modular, particularly with ResultCard and SummaryList.

• Cross-Browser Compatibility: I ran into challenges with cross-browser compatibility, especially rendering the project on Firefox. Any guidance on ensuring consistent cross-browser performance would be greatly appreciated.

• Styling Techniques: Replicating the design specs for partial gray borders was difficult. If there’s a more straightforward CSS solution, any guidance would help me improve future styling approaches.
