Brief

In this project, we're going to create a calendar.



You can use as many (or as few) tools, libraries, and frameworks as you'd like. If you're trying to learn something new, this would be a great way to push yourself.

Users should be able to:

  • See the current month's calendar displayed

  • See the current month name

  • See today (December 14) highlighted

  • An arrow, pointing to the left to display the previous month

  • An arrow, pointing to the right to display the next month

Getting Started

  1. To get started, download the zip file. This includes all the project assets you need to get started: Figma file, images, and a style guide.

  2. Take a look around. Look at the project's Figma file. This is a great way to see how the pieces and parts should look within the browser.

  3. Open the project's README.md file. It has additional information on how the project is structured.

  4. Customize your project/file architecture to your liking.

  5. Happy coding!

  6. Once you're finished, share your work using #adventofcss


Taking your Project to the Next Level

  • Use a framework or libraries like Tailwind CSS, Styled Components, or CSS Modules. Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, try writing everything in Vanilla CSS.

  • All interactivity has to be handled within JavaScript. Consider checking out the Advent of JavaScript challenge, where James explains how to do accomplish this.
