What I learned

I learnt how to get flexbox to behave as I expected to by using this challenge to experiment the flexbox container and item properties. Background images is something I haven't used much and I faced some difficulties with it and how it behaves, so I got some help by watching a youtube video about it and successfully learnt how to use background images effectively including the properties associated with it. I also learnt how to create a hamburger menu which toggles the navigation menu when clicked.

I added some snippets of code, see below:

.proud-of-this-css {
  background-image: url(images/123.jpg);
  background-size: 100% 100%;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

const menuToggle = document.querySelector(".hamburger")
const menu = document.querySelector(".nav__list")

menuToggle.addEventListener("click", toggleMenu)

function toggleMenu() {
    if (menu.classList.contains("active")) {
        menu.classList.remove("active")
    } else {
        menu.classList.add("active")
    }
}

Useful resources
