Challenge #11

Brief

In this project, we're going to create expanding and collapsing sections. This functionality can be found in accordions or toggle displays.



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:

  • Click on a collapsed question to expand it and view the answer.
  • Click on a collapsed answer to collapse it and hide the answer.

Getting Started

  1. To get started, download the zip file. This includes all the project assets you need to get started: HTML, CSS, images, and fonts.
  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 #adventofjs

Taking your Project to the Next Level

  • Use a framework like React, Vue, or Svelte. Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, try writing everything in Vanilla JavaScript.
  • Take a step back and try writing the HTML and CSS for this project yourself. Start with the provided Figma file. If you get stuck, consider purchasing the Advent of CSS solutions, where Amy explains exactly how to build this.
  • Update code s only one FAQ can be expanded at a time.
  • Try applying this same concept to an accordion

FAQs

  • Can I use libraries/frameworks on these projects? 
    • Of course! We're providing the vanilla HTML and CSS, but you can use whatever tools and frameworks you'd like.
  • Oh no! I'm stuck! 
  • Can I use this project in my portfolio? 
    • Sure! But, be honest about the work that you did
