My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Less CSS Precompiler
• Gulp task Manager
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

• Less CSS Precompiler

Aiming to gain more productivity while coding, I used the less css precompiler to reduce the amount of time and lines of css code I write. I have then an index.less file which is transpiled in index.css.

/* index.less */

html {
    min-width: 375px !important;
    min-height: 664px !important;
    max-width: 1440px;

    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin: auto;

    body {
        background-color: var(--main-very-dark-blue);
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        flex-direction: column;
        height: 100%;
        max-width: 375px;
        margin: auto;
        ...;
    }
}

• Gulp task Manager

Since code transpiling is not automatic, I used The Gulp task manager to watch my less file and automate the transpilation process when a the less file when it detects modification

/* gulpfile.js */

exports.watch = () => watch("src/*.less", compileCss);
