Brief

Practice your layout skills with this article preview component. There's lots of fun to be had playing around with animations for the sharing icons as well.

Your challenge is to build out this article preview component and get it looking as close to the design as possible. You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go 👍.

The only JavaScript you'll need for this challenge is to initiate the share options when someone clicks the share icon.

What I learned 🥳

☑️ CSS object-fit

object-position: left has the same idea of background-position: left

stylesheets/scss/_preview.scss

img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
  object-position: left;
}

☑️ CSS clip-path

clip-path can show some part of our element by clip-in it

stylesheets/scss/_preview.scss

&--active {
  filter: drop-shadow(0px 10px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1));
  clip-path: polygon(
    0% 0%,
    100% 0%,
    100% 75%,
    62% 75%,
    56% 100%,
    49% 75%,
    0% 75%
  );
}

Difficult Things 😓

Things were difficult for me and I finally gave up 😓😓

• HTML5 Semantic
• Not know how to work with <svg/>
• Not figured out how to implement border-radius
• Not making box-shadow on share links
• Some DRY CSS code
