My process

Built with

  • Semantic HTML5 markup
  • Flexbox
  • CSS Grid
  • Mobile-first workflow
  • Nuxt 3
  • Tailwind 3

What I learned

This was the first time I`ve completed a Nuxt 3 project. On the way I have read the docs on the new futures of Nuxt 3 and implemented them in this project.

An example is using global states with useState

export const useNavState = () => useState < boolean > ("navState", () => false);

I used those state throughout the project to handle changing states on different components. For example updating the cart items reactivly.

I found out that vueUse has a implementation for Nuxt 3. Which I used to handle events where I need to toggle modal state when user clicks outside of the modal.

onClickOutside(cartRef, (e) => {
  cartState.value = !cartState.value;
});

I also found some solutions for making a slider by changing the index of an array and using computed property to update the current image.

const currentImage = computed(() => {
  return products.value[0].images[
    Math.abs(currentIndex.value) % products.value[0].images.length
  ];
});

const changeImage = (index) => {
  currentIndex.value = index;
};

Continued development

The one thing that I stuggled with on this project was transitions, mainly the transition between images. Using the component I tried to implement sliding effect with no success. I will continue to work on this implementation on future projects and add them to this when I find a working solution.

Useful resources

  • VueUse - This helped me for XYZ reason. I really liked this pattern and will use it going forward.
