What I learned

In the styling part, I break the UI into manageable components and use as many utilities classes as possible to reduce the amount of custom styling. However, I purge the final css of all unused utility classes to ensure the final css is as small as possible.

// Generate font-weight utility classes with responsive variants
@each $weight, $value in $font-weights {
	.text-#{$weight} {
		font-weight: #{$value};
	}
}

// Generate font-style utility classes with responsive variants
@each $style, $value in $font-styles {
	.text-#{$style} {
		font-style: #{$value};
	}
}

// Generate text-align utility classes with responsive variants
@each $align, $value in $text-aligns {
	.text-#{$align} {
		text-align: #{$value};
	}
}

// Generate font-weight utility classes with responsive variants
@each $weight, $value in $font-weights {
	@each $breakpoint, $breakpoint-value in $breakpoints {
		@media screen and (min-width: #{$breakpoint-value}) {
			@at-root .#{$breakpoint}-text-#{$weight} {
				font-weight: #{$value};
			}
		}
	}
}

// Generate font-style utility classes with responsive variants
@each $style, $value in $font-styles {
	@each $breakpoint, $breakpoint-value in $breakpoints {
		@media screen and (min-width: #{$breakpoint-value}) {
			@at-root .#{$breakpoint}-text-#{$style} {
				font-style: #{$value};
			}
		}
	}
}

// Generate text-align utility classes with responsive variants
@each $align, $value in $text-aligns {
	@each $breakpoint, $breakpoint-value in $breakpoints {
		@media screen and (min-width: #{$breakpoint-value}) {
			@at-root .#{$breakpoint}-text-#{$align} {
				text-align: #{$value};
			}
		}
	}
}

Continued development

I plan to explore advanced SASS features to enhance the maintainability and scalability of my stylesheets. I also intend to further integrate TypeScript in future frontend projects to reinforce type safety and streamline debugging.

Useful resources

• CSS-Tricks: Flexbox Guide - This guide was instrumental in implementing the flexible layout of the component.
• MDN Web Docs: CSS Display Property - Helped me with controlling element visibility.
• Frontend Mentor Community - Engaging with other developers in the community provided insights and useful tips for handling responsive layouts.
