Summary of Changes

Hello @mmert9008, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a new BaseLayout.astro component to centralize common page structure and elements across the website. It refactors existing pages (about.astro, blog.astro, and index.astro) to leverage this new layout, significantly reducing code duplication and improving maintainability by abstracting shared boilerplate into a single, reusable component.

Highlights

• New Base Layout Component: A new src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro component has been created to encapsulate the common HTML structure, including head elements, global styles, and shared components like Header and Footer.
• Code Refactoring for Reusability: The src/pages/about.astro, src/pages/blog.astro, and src/pages/index.astro files have been refactored to import and utilize the new BaseLayout.astro component, eliminating redundant HTML boilerplate from individual pages.
• Dynamic Page Titles: The BaseLayout component now accepts a pageTitle prop, allowing individual pages to dynamically set their title while reusing the common layout structure.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a BaseLayout.astro component and refactors the existing pages to use it. This is a great improvement that reduces code duplication and centralizes the common page structure, following the Astro tutorial. The refactoring across index.astro, about.astro, and blog.astro is done correctly.

I've added one suggestion on about.astro to improve style encapsulation by splitting the global and scoped styles into separate <style> tags. This will prevent the .skill styles from leaking out globally.

Overall, this is a solid step forward in building the application.

[gemini-code-assist]

Using is:global on the entire <style> block makes all the styles within it global. While this is needed for the h1 selector to style the element in the layout, the .skill class is only used within this file. It's better to keep styles scoped whenever possible to avoid unintended side-effects.

You can split this into two <style> tags: one with is:global for the h1, and another one (the default, scoped) for .skill.

	<style is:global>
		h1 {
			color: purple;
			font-size: 4rem;
		}
	</style>
	<style define:vars={{skillColor, fontWeight, textCase}}>
		.skill {
			color: var(--skillColor);
			font-weight: var(--fontWeight);
			text-transform: var(--textCase);
		}
	</style>
