My process

Built with

  • Semantic HTML5 markup
  • CSS custom properties
  • Flexbox
  • Promises, async await
  • Vanilla JavaScript

You will find all the required assets in the /images folder. The assets are already optimized.

There is also a style-guide.md file containing the information you'll need, such as color palette and fonts.

What I learned

This project can be a great teacher to someone who is not well versed with the concept of working with fetch and async await syntax of javascript which can be a pain for beginners when told to implement on their own.

js = proud of this function

const fetchAdvice = async () => {
    title.style.marginBottom = "6rem";
    dualRing.classList.remove("disabled");
    ctaBtn.classList.add("disabled");
    isDisabled = true;
    setTimeout(async () => {
        const response = await fetch("https://api.adviceslip.com/advice");
        const data = await response.json();
        const { id, advice } = data.slip;
        adviceIdSpan.innerHTML = id;
        quoteDiv.innerHTML = `“${advice}”`;
        dualRing.classList.add("disabled");
        title.style.marginBottom = "0";
    }, 500);
    setTimeout(() => {
        ctaBtn.classList.remove("disabled");
        isDisabled = false;
    }, 2000);
};

Continued development

The continuously learning journey of a programmer never ends. This project made me realize that there are many concepts that I need to work upon including fundamentals like flex-box and its properties, to more complex concepts like working with fetch and async await in javascript. These areas are some that I think I need to work more upon in the upcoming future as they highlight some of the most significant regions of web development that are important for every developer to know of.

These key points mentioned here will help me grow accountable and consistent towards improving at writing good quality code and be a successful full stack developer one day.

Useful resources

  • Harkirat Singh course notes - I have added notes of all lectures along with code and lecture insights of all weeks along with bonus lectures to help you all as much as I can.
  • My development code and notes - These are my notes that I made while working on my development skills in initial days and did these courses. Make sure to star the repository if you like it.✨💫
  • mdn documentation - This is an amazing article which helped me finally understand promises, async and await syntax. I'd recommend it to anyone still learning this concept.
