Creating your first "Portfolio" project
To get a local copy up and running, follow these steps.
In order to run this project you need:
-A Git hub account -Git bash -Node JS -Visual Studio Code as your code editor -Figma account
Clone this repository to your desired folder:
cd my-folder
git clone[ (https://github.com/joyapisi/ThePortfolio.git)]A linter is a tool to help you improve your code. You can learn more about Linters here: (source: (https://www.testim.io/blog/what-is-a-linter-heres-a-definition-and-quick-start-guide/)).
Advantages of Linting:
- Fewer errors in production- The use of linters helps to diagnose and fix technical issues such as code smells. As a result, fewer defects make their way to production.
- Achieving a more readable and consistent style, through the enforcement of its rules.
- Having more secure and performant code.
- Having an objective and measurable assessment of code quality.
- Having fewer discussions about code style and aesthetic choices during code reviews.
You can find linters for most of the programming languages, e.g. Rubocop for Ruby or ESLint for JavaScript.
Also, there are many ways you can integrate a linter in your workflow:
-text editor plugin -GitHub Actions -GitHub apps
Note: The npm package manager is going to create a node_modules directory to install all of your dependencies. You shouldn't commit that directory. To avoid that, you can create a .gitignore file and add node_modules to it:
node_modules/
Run
npm install --save-dev eslint@7.x eslint-config-airbnb-base@14.x eslint-plugin-import@2.x babel-eslint@10.x
This is a customizable linting tool that helps you improve your site's accessibility, speed, cross-browser compatibility, and more by checking your code for best practices and common errors.
NOTE: If you are using Windows, make sure you initialize npm to create package.json file.
npm init -y
- Run
how to use npm: (https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm).
npm install --save-dev hint@7.x - Copy .hintrc to the root directory of your project.
- Do not make any changes in config files - they represent style guidelines that you share with your team - which is a group of all Microverse students.
- If you think that change is necessary - open a Pull Request in this repository and let your code reviewer know about it.
- Run
Copy contents of .eslintrc.json to the root directory of your project
npx hint . - Fix validation errors.
A mighty, modern linter that helps you avoid errors and enforce conventions in your styles.
- Run

Fix linter errors.

IMPORTANT NOTE: feel free to research auto-correct options for Stylelint if you get a flood of errors but keep in mind that correcting style errors manually will help you to make a habit of writing a clean code!
-Pick a figma template to work on and use css and html to build a replica the first 2 sections of the mobile website using the template you have chosen.
-Make sure to replace the contents of helloworld.html with new contents of your own html code which replicates the chosen figma template.
-In your figma template, you will create the toolbar (or header) and the headline section (right after the header)
note -Make sure to pick the mobile template on figma and not the desktop template. -In order to lay out the elements on the page you should use Flexbox in all 2 sections. -You don't need to implement any functionality that requires JavaScript, like opening the menu or creating dropdowns. -You must stick to the design as much as possible (e.g. font, colors, images, text, margins) using the templates in Figma. -Implement the button interactions (enable, hover, etc.).
