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.
• Navigate the slider using either their mouse/trackpad or keyboard.

Additional things I did:

• The slider automatically slides forward after a set interval.

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• SCSS
• Flexbox
• JavaScript
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

I should use Flex-basis a lot more:

.header {
  flex: 1 0.75 fnc.rem(840);
  min-height: fnc.rem(360);
  position: relative;
  padding-top: fnc.rem(48);
}

Sliding based on the margin:

function navigateSlides() {
  slides.classList.remove("animated");
  textSlides.classList.remove("animated");

  if (count <= 2) {
    slides.style.marginLeft = count * -100 + "%";
    textSlides.style.marginLeft = count * -100 + "%";
  } else if (count <= 0) {
    slides.style.marginLeft = "";
    textSlides.style.marginLeft = "";
  }
}

Continued development

It's possible that there is a better way of implementing sliding images as I've seen a lot of different ways to do it in the course of figuring out this solution.

Useful resources

• Responsive CSS Image Slider by DudleyStorey
  • For the automated sliding animation.
• Pure CSS Responsive Image Slider by w3newbie
  • Got the basic idea for the slider.
