🌱 How to start this project

This project comes with the necessary files to start working immediately.

We recommend opening this very same repository using a provisioning tool like Codespaces (recommended) or Gitpod. Alternatively, you can clone it on your local computer using the git clone command.

This is the repository you need to open:

https://github.com/breatheco-de/exercise-conditional-profile-card.git

👉 Please follow these steps on how to start a coding project.

💡 Important: Remember to save and upload your code to GitHub by creating a new repository, updating the remote (git remote set-url origin <your new url>), and uploading the code to your new repository using the add, commit and push commands from the git terminal.

Some context

As a web developer, you will be creating lots and lots of dynamic HTML using Javascript based algorithms.

In this exercise, you have to create the HTML code needed to render a profile card based on a series of variables that could change in value during runtime. Here is an example of the profile card:

Conditional Profile Card

Inside the src/app.js file there is a render function that receives variables and contains the logic to create most of the website HTML code.

1function render(variables = {}) { 2 document.querySelector("#widget_content").innerHTML = `<div>Website code</div>`; 3}

You can see the variables that are being generated by typing on the developer console:

1console.log(window.variables); 2/* 3{ 4 includeCover: true, // if includeCover is true the algorithm should 5 background: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1511974035430-5de47d3b95da", // this is the url of the image that will use as background for the profile cover 6 avatarURL: "https://storage.googleapis.com/breathecode-asset-images/3c15f2d5e8b14c8b5bc801cf99a02f1c88a450303a550a875e395b9ae099fa54.jpg", // this is the url for the profile avatar 7 socialMediaPosition: "left", // social media bar position (left or right) 8 9 twitter: null, // social media usernames 10 github: "alesanchezr", 11 linkedin: null, 12 instagram: null, 13 14 name: null, 15 lastname: null, 16 role: null, 17 country: null, 18 city: null 19} 20*/

📝Instructions

These instructions come with a video for better understanding: https://youtu.be/gaVm8eyCqlM

  1. Read and understand the render function and the value of the variables variable that it receives.
  2. Change the content of the render function to make it render the variables on the card.

💡 Attention!

You do not need to add any event listeners to the elements that are already built in the project. This is already being done by this part of the code:

1document.querySelectorAll(".picker").forEach(function(elm) { 2 elm.addEventListener("change", function(e) { 3 // <- add a listener to every input 4 const attribute = e.target.getAttribute("for"); // when any input changes, collect the value 5 let values = {}; 6 values[attribute] = 7 this.value == "" || this.value == "null" 8 ? null 9 : this.value == "true" 10 ? true 11 : this.value == "false" 12 ? false 13 : this.value; 14 render(Object.assign(window.variables, values)); // render again the card with new valus 15 }); 16 });

So when the elements contents "change" they will already update the variable values for each element. All you need to do is to update the HTML content inside render function, as mentioned on instruction 1.

Initial Variable Values

NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
includeCoverbooleantrueit determines if the cover shoud be visible with an image or not
backgroundstringnullthe url of the image that will use as background for the profile cover
avatarURLstringnullthe url for the profile avatar
socialMediaPositionstring"right"it can be left or right and it determines where to place the social media bar
twitterstringnullthe twitter username to be displayed on the profile
githubstringnullthe github username to be displayed on the profile
linkedinstringnullthe linkedin username to be displayed on the profile
instagramstringnullthe instagram username to be displayed on the profile
namestringnullThe name of the user to be displayed on the profile
lastnamestringnullThe name of the user to be displayed on the profile
rolestringnullThe name of the user to be displayed on the profile
countrystringnullThe name of the user to be displayed on the profile
citystringnullthe city of the user to be displayed on the profile

Hard-Coded HTML

This is an example of a possible HTML output, you will have to replace the name, last-name, etc. With the values that these variables may have.

1<div class="widget"> 2 <div class="cover"><img src="https://the_url.com/for_the_background.png" /></div> 3 <img src="https://the_url.com/for_the_image.png" class="photo" /> 4 <h1>Ryan Boylett</h1> 5 <h2>Web Developer</h2> 6 <h3>Miami, USA</h3> 7 <ul class="position-right"> 8 <li><a href="https://twitter.com/alesanchezr"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a></li> 9 <li><a href="https://github.com/alesanchezr"><i class="fa fa-github"></i></a></li> 10 <li><a href="https://linkedin.com/alesanchezr"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a></li> 11 <li><a href="https://instagram.com/alesanchezr"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a></li> 12 </ul> 13</div>
