I love Vanilla JavaScript.
It feels so pure.
Back to basics. No layers of complexity.
Just, «these functions are the browser's API; that's it, that's what you can do».
Nothing more, nothing else.
In the next exercise, my goal is for my class to understand that each framework, each library - React, Vue, Angular, Next, Nuxt - essentially wraps and adds layers to the browser's API.
Before diving into the code, I'll take a step back to review what the browser is...
Like, ok it's a program... that renders HTML, CSS, and executes JavaScript.
«Executes JavaScript» 🤔
We are going to open a blank, raw, console;
(this is the code from the screenshot)
const el = document.createElement('h1')
el.textContent = 'Hello'
document.body.appendChild(el)
First Exercise
Our starting point was a raw HTML (zero Js) rendering n <article />
<article class="card">
<h2>Hulk</h2>
<img
src="https://marvelcdb.com//bundles/cards/01050.png"
alt="Hulk"
/>
</article>
...
<article...>
Our goal is to create these elements dynamically using document.createElement()
➡️ this is the function we need to implement:
/**
* @param {object} props
* @param {{ code: string; name: string; image: string; }} props.cardInfo
*/
function Card(props) {
const { cardInfo } = props;
// TODO
}
Next: solution to the Vanilla JS exercise.
