Overview

The code implements a web page for an e-commerce product page. The page includes a header section with a logo, navigation menu, and cart icon, as well as a product section that displays the product details, image gallery, and a button to add the product to the shopping cart.

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the site depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Open a lightbox gallery by clicking on the large product image
• Switch the large product image by clicking on the small thumbnail images
• Add items to the cart
• View the cart and remove items from it

Links

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid

What I learned

I learnt how to manipulate an image's background image url using JS

/* collect thumbnails */
let thumbs = document.querySelectorAll(".thumbnail");

/*click event on each thumbnail */
thumbs.forEach(thumb=>{
    thumb.addEventListener("click", ()=>{
        var computedStyle = window.getComputedStyle(thumb);
        var backgroundImage = computedStyle.getPropertyValue("background-image");
        var imageUrl = backgroundImage.slice(backgroundImage.indexOf("(") + 1, backgroundImage.lastIndexOf(")")).replace(/\"/gi, "");
        var imagePath = imageUrl.slice(imageUrl.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
        var finalPath = imagePath.replace("-thumbnail", "");
        var finalUrl = imageUrl.slice(0, imageUrl.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) + finalPath;
        main_img.style.backgroundImage = "url(" + finalUrl + ")";
    })
})

Continued development

JS definitley needs more work
