Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the site depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Receive an error message when the form is submitted if:
  • Any input field is empty. The message for this error should say "[Field Name] cannot be empty"
  • The email address is not formatted correctly (i.e. a correct email address should have this structure: name@host.tld). The message for this error should say "Looks like this is not an email"

What I learned

I completed this project a day after completing the Base Apparel Project.

This was crucial to understanding this one. I built upon my understanding of validating inputs in a form. It was very helpful to do this one after that project. I'm trying to consume as much JavaScript as possible while still using my strong Sass skills.

Continued development

I just need to keep working on JavaScript more and more.

Useful resources

• JavaScript Client-side Form Validation - This was the primary Youtube video I used to help with the email verification. Great resource!
• Kevin Powell - I watch his videos over and over again for great CSS/Sass tips and tricks.
