My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• CSS Flexbox
• JavaScript (a mix of DOM manipulation and function parameters)

Continued Improvement

I plan on continuing to improve my DOM manipulation skills as it is interesting to me. It fired up new project ideas (like a feelings check-up app and a user greeting app) when I went through the process.

Here are some code snippet highlights for me, where I did the most growth and learning:

 <!--onClick is used to link the HTML with the JavaScript-->
  <button class="accordion-button" onclick="toggleAccordion(this)">

    background-position: top;
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-size: 200vh;
    background-color: hsl(275, 100%, 97%);

    // if the content is clicked on by the user
    if (content.style.display === "block") {
        // hides the accordion's answer, displays the expand icon, and hides the collapse icon
        content.style.display = "none";
        iconExpand.style.display = "block";
        iconCollapse.style.display = "none";
    } 
    
    else {
         // shows the accordion's answer,  displays the collapse icon, and hides the expand icon
        content.style.display = "block";
        iconExpand.style.display = "none";
        iconCollapse.style.display = "block";
    }
