## Overview

### The challenge

Users should be able to:

- View the optimal layout for the component depending on their device's screen size

- See the social media share links when they click the share icon

### Screenshot

## My process

### Built with

- Semantic HTML5 markup

- CSS custom properties

- Flexbox

- Mobile-first workflow

- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/)

- [Parcel](https://parceljs.org/)

### What I learned

I learned more about accessibility in this challenge, a topic I'm always interested in. I learned about linking toggle buttons with the element they toggle: `aria-controls`, and how to indicate the current toggle state: `aria-pressed` and `aria-expanded`.

Apparently there was also a semantic HTML element for displaying dates and times ``, it isn't auto-completed by Emmet on VSCode so I never knew it existed until now :D. 

### Continued development

On this challenge I spent a good chunk of time on the share menu especially the desktop one and although I ended up creating two menus and toggling their `display` property between mobile and desktop, I'd like to continue to learn about how I can better re-use mobile elements to style them for desktop without duplicating them, although sometimes duplicating them is the best/only option.

### Useful resources

- [Parent onClick is not triggered when the child element is clicked inside button](https://stackoverflow.com/a/43411649) - This answer helped me fix an annoying issue where the `` inside the share menu toggle button was being set as `event.target` when I click the button in the center (within the svg element's box). Setting `pointer-events: none` on the `svg` did the trick so now wherever I click on the button, `event.target` is always gonna be the button element.

- [How can I center an absolutely positioned element in a div?](https://stackoverflow.com/a/23384995) - This one trick I already knew and used in the past, but forgot about it and I used it to center the `absolute` share menu on desktop on top of the toggle button.
