Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Generate a new piece of advice by clicking the dice icon

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• JavaScript
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

I learnt how to call the API using async/await function's and call the url using fetch API. I made a custom div i.e the dice icon as a clickable button, was not sure initially about its working. Anyways it was fun building it.

Continued development

I would like to continue improving my HTML/CSS but mean time i would also like to build full stack websites involving Databases like MongoDB. Morever i would like to get familiar with react,redux and nextJS like frameworks.

Useful resources

• MDN Docs for fetch API - All other methods were depracated, used the asynchronous way i.e using async.
• Make div Clickable - Just simply shows how a div can be clickable.
