Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

  • See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
  • Search for GitHub users by their username
  • See relevant user information based on their search
  • Switch between light and dark themes
  • Bonus: Have the correct color scheme chosen for them based on their computer preferences. Hint: Research prefers-color-scheme in CSS.

Built with

  • Semantic HTML5 markup
  • CSS custom properties
  • Flexbox
  • CSS Grid
  • Mobile-first workflow
  • TailWindCSS - CSS utility Framework

What I learned

I learned about how to create a theme toggle button using Tailwind CSS and JavaScript, and how to set the theme based on the user's preference with the CSS prefers-color-scheme media query. I also learned how to handle form submission in JavaScript, how to make API requests with fetch(), and how to manipulate the DOM to display the response data.

Continued development

  • Responsiveness for different screen sizes.
  • Additional features (display user's contirubution graph)
