My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• SvelteKit - Svelte framework
• tailwindcss - CSS framework

What I learned

• Input elements do not support pseudoelements
• Pseudoelements can only be defined on container elements. Input elements cannot contain other elements hence they do not support pseudo-elements
• Input validation using JavaScript (client-side form validation)

Continued development

Conventional Commits

Useful resources

• Client-side form validation - This helped me use JavaScript alongside HTML for input validation

• Can I use a :before or :after pseudo-element on an input field? - Allowed me to understand which element types can have pseudo-elements
