Responsive Web Design

Responsive Web Design


Today, there are many types of devices that can access the web. They range from large desktop computers to small mobile phones. These devices have different screen sizes, resolutions, and processing power.

Responsive Web Design is an approach to designing web content that responds to the constraints of different devices. The page structure and CSS rules should be flexible to accommodate these differences. In general, design the page's CSS to your target audience.

 If you expect most of your traffic to be from mobile users, take a 'mobile-first' approach. Then add conditional rules for larger screen sizes. If your visitors are desktop users, then design for larger screens with conditional rules for smaller sizes. CSS gives you the tools to write different style rules, then apply them depending on the device displaying the page.

 Responsive Web Design Principles

  1. Create a Media Query.
  2. Make an Image Responsive.
  3. Use a Retina Image for Higher Resolution Displays. 
  4. Make Typography Responsive

ES6 : 5 Prevent Object Mutation

As seen in the previous post declaration alone doesn't really protect your data from mutation. To ensure your data doesn't change, JavaScript provides a function Object.freeze() to prevent data mutation. Once the object is frozen, you can no longer add, update, or delete properties from it. Any attempt at changing the object will be rejected without an error. let obj = { name:"FreeCodeCamp" review:"Awesome" }; Object.freeze(obj); obj.review = "bad"; //will be ignored. Mutation not allowed obj.newProp = "Test"; // will be ignored. Mutation not allowed console.log(obj); // { name: "FreeCodeCamp", review:"Awesome"}

ES6: 1 Explore Differences Between the var and let Keywords

One of the biggest problems with declaring variables with the var keyword is that you can overwrite variable declarations without an error. var camper = 'James'; var camper = 'David'; console.log(camper); // logs 'David' As you can see in the code above, the camper variable is originally declared as James and then overridden to be David . In a small application, you might not run into this type of problem, but when your code becomes larger, you might accidentally overwrite a variable that you did not intend to overwrite. Because this behavior does not throw an error, searching and fixing bugs becomes more difficult. A new keyword called let was introduced in ES6 to solve this potential issue with the var keyword. If you were to replace var with let in the variable declarations of the code above, the result would be an error. let camper = 'James'; let camper = 'David'; // throws an error This error can be seen...

CSS Grid: Reduce Repetition Using the repeat Function

 When we used grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows to define the structure of a grid, you entered a value for each row or column you created. Lets say you want a grid with 100 rows of the same height. It isn't very practical to insert 100 values individually. Fortunately, there's a better way - by using the repeat function to specify the number of times you want your column or row to be repeated, followed by a comma and the value you want to repeat. Here's an example that would create the 100 row grid, each row at 50px tall. grid-template-rows: repeat(100, 50px); You can also repeat multiple values with the repeat function, and insert the function amongst other values when defining a grid structure. Here's what I mean: grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr 50px) 20px;  this will be translated to :            grid-template-columns:1fr 50px 1fr 50px  20px;   1fr 50px is repeated t...
