A simple web app built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The user can press on the button to generate a random advice every two seconds.
The purpose of this project is to revise how to use Fetch API to get data and display data to the user.
- Semantic HTML5 markup
- CSS custom properties
- Flexbox
- Desktop-first workflow
- Advice Slip API
Although this is a rather simple project, I still learned a thing or two from it. Aside from learning how to use Fetch API, I also learned how to use the setInterval() function to generate random advice within a specific amount of time. Other than that, I learned how to use the box-shadow property to create a shadow effect on the button with this code box-shadow: 0 0 40px -5px var(--neon-green);
The Advice Slip API does provide some other options to fetch data in different ways. I would like to add search functionality to the app or let the user looks through the advice by the id in ascending order.
- MDN Fetch API documentation - This helped me relearn the syntax for using
Fetch API. - MDN box-shadow documentation - I always forget what does each value represent in the
box-shadowproperty. - Center a
position: absoluteelement - This helped me ini centering the randomize button at the center.
