Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for each page depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• See their own IP address on the map on the initial page load
• Search for any IP addresses or domains and see the key information and location

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• React - JS library
• Next.js - React framework
• Redux Toolkit - For state management
• TailwindCSS - For styles

What I learned

I have to use dynamic imports to load the map component only when the user clicks the search button. This way, I can reduce the initial load time of the page.

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';

const MapaComponent = dynamic(() => import('./_components/Mapa'), { ssr: false });

Continued development

I will continue to develop this project by adding more features and improving the user experience.

Useful resources

• Declare enviroment variables - This helped me to declare environment variables in Next.js.
• Creating de .env.local file - This helped me to create the .env.local file to store the environment variables.
