## Overview
### The challenge
Users should be able to:
- Analyze the character, word, and sentence counts for their text
- Exclude/Include spaces in their character count
- Set a character limit
- Receive a warning message if their text exceeds their character limit
- See the approximate reading time of their text
- Analyze the letter density of their text
- Select their color theme
- View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size
- See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page

## My process
### Built with
- Semantic HTML5 markup
- CSS custom properties
- Flexbox
- CSS Grid
- Mobile-first workflow
- [React](https://reactjs.org/) - JS library
- [Anime.js](https://nextjs.org/) - Animation library
### What I learned
Working on this task allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of regular expressions. I focused on identifying optimal patterns for sentence and word detection that would work across multiple languages. Additionally, I discovered valuable CSS properties such as interpolate-size, which significantly enhances animation possibilities and provides more flexible control over dynamic content sizing.
My variant to create letters list, see below:
```js
// Function analyzes text character frequency and renders statistics
const setStatistic = (text, renderFunction, outerEl) => {
// Extract only letter characters using Unicode-aware regex
const onlyLetters = text.match(/\p{L}/gu);
// Clear container and exit if no letters found
if(!onlyLetters?.length){
outerEl.hasChildNodes() && outerEl.replaceChildren();
return;
}
const arrForRender = [];
// Count frequency of each letter (case-insensitive)
const firstInteration = onlyLetters.reduce((acc, e) => {
acc[e.toUpperCase()] = (acc[e.toUpperCase()] || 0) + 1;
return acc;
}, {});
// Format data with letter, count and percentage
for (const key in firstInteration) {
arrForRender.push({
letter: key,
amount: firstInteration[key],
percent: `(${((100 * firstInteration[key]) / onlyLetters.length).toFixed(2)}%)`,
});
}
// Sort by frequency (highest first) and render results
const readyList = arrForRender.toSorted((a,b) => b.amount - a.amount);
renderFunction(readyList, outerEl, btnShow);
};
```
### Continued development
For my upcoming projects, I plan to explore server-side frameworks since they're generating significant buzz in the development community.
### Useful resources
- [Animate to height](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/css-ui/animate-to-height-auto) - Good article where you can finde more about future animation
- [Regex tester](https://regex101.com) - Good platform to teset regular exspression.
