PawfectPics (Project to be built during Recalling of HTML, CSS, JS Concepts for 14 Days from 100DaysOfCode)
Context - Doing this Challenge on Bluesky and main motive is getting proficient in backend but, since i had a quite grasp on html, css and js fundamentals I thought of learning the respective frameworks and combined knowledge of frontend, backend, and quite a knowledge of docker (i also have :)). Therefore, The route now is Full-Stacked :)

1. Project Overview:
- Create a web-based dog image search engine called "PuppyPics."
- Users can enter keywords (e.g., "golden retriever," "pug") to search for dog images.
- The application will fetch and display relevant dog images from an external API.
2. Technologies:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+)
- Dog image API (e.g., Dog CEO's Dog API)
3. Project Structure:
- Create a root project folder named "PuppyPics."
- Inside the folder, organize your project as follows:
index.html
: The main HTML file.style.css
: The CSS file for styling.script.js
: The JavaScript file for interactivity.images/
: A folder to store project-related images.
4. HTML Structure:
- Create the basic HTML structure with appropriate HTML5 semantics.
- Include the following key elements:
- Header with a title ("PuppyPics") and a search input field.
- A section to display search results (initially empty).
- Footer with project information.
5. CSS Styling:
- Style the header, search bar, results section, and footer for an attractive and user-friendly design.
- Implement responsive design for various screen sizes.
6. JavaScript Functionality:
- Handle user input and interaction.
- Create event listeners for form submission and button clicks.
- Make asynchronous requests to the dog image API using fetch or XMLHttpRequest.
- Parse the API response and dynamically generate HTML to display the search results.
- Implement error handling for API requests and user feedback.
7. API Integration:
- Choose a reliable dog image API (e.g., Dog CEO's Dog API).
- Sign up for an API key if required.
- Use the API to fetch dog images based on user search queries.
8. User Interface (UI):
- Design an intuitive and user-friendly interface:
- Display loading indicators during API requests.
- Show search results with dog images, captions, or additional details.
9. Accessibility:
- Ensure the project follows accessibility best practices:
- Use proper HTML semantics.
- Provide alt text for images.
- Test for keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.
10. Testing and Debugging:
- Test the application in different browsers to ensure cross-browser compatibility.
- Use browser developer tools for debugging and fixing issues.
11. Deployment:
- Choose a hosting platform (e.g., GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel) to deploy your project.
- Configure the domain and hosting settings.
12. Documentation:
- Create a README.md file to document the project, including setup instructions and usage details.
13. Continuous Learning:
- Keep learning and improving your web development skills as you work on the project.
14. Future Enhancements:
-
Consider future enhancements such as user accounts, favorites, or additional features based on user feedback.
