What I learned

I made svgs accessible by the following code;

export default function PlusIcon() {
  return (
    <svg
      width="12"
      height="12"
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
      xmlnsXlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
      aria-labelledby="plus"
    >
      <title id="plus">Plus</title>
      <defs>
        <path
          d="M12 7.023V4.977a.641.641 0 0 0-.643-.643h-3.69V.643A.641.641 0 0 0 7.022 0H4.977a.641.641 0 0 0-.643.643v3.69H.643A.641.641 0 0 0 0 4.978v2.046c0 .356.287.643.643.643h3.69v3.691c0 .356.288.643.644.643h2.046a.641.641 0 0 0 .643-.643v-3.69h3.691A.641.641 0 0 0 12 7.022Z"
          id="b"
        />
      </defs>
      <use fill="#FF7E1B" fillRule="nonzero" xlinkHref="#b" />
    </svg>
  );
}

min attribute on input did not work in Content.tsx, so I used function handleInput to disable minus button and prevent the input amount from becoming minus value when the amount is less than 1.

const handleInput = () => {
  if (amount < 1) {
    setAmount(0);
  } else {
    setAmount(amount - 1);
  }
};

<input
  type="number"
  name="amount"
  id="amount"
  value={amount}
  min="0"
  onChange={(e) => setAmount(Number(e.target.value))}
/>

I also learnt methods on splide.js. I used go() to change slide by clicking thumbnails and sync() to syncronize the slide on main page and on modal.

Continued development

To achieve high level of accessibility, I used splide.js, however it ended up with so many errors pointed out by Deque University. I know achieving a good accessibility for slider is hard, but I want to try other frameworks or suggest not to use slider as much as possible.

This project is only frontend part of the website, following the task given by frontend mentor. I would like to try similar website as full-stack app and elavorate to bigger website.

I used prop drilling, so my code got a little messy but I can keep track what I was doing. I can use context or redux next time.
