## Overview

### The challenge

Users should be able to:

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

- See hover states for all interactive elements on the page

- Generate a new piece of advice by clicking the dice icon

## My process

### Built with

- Semantic HTML5 markup

- CSS custom properties

- Flexbox

- CSS Grid

- Mobile-first workflow

### What I learned

This project's major task was to fetch data from the adviceslip api. I implemented this using the fetch api like this:

```js

const getQuote = async () => {

  const url = "https://api.adviceslip.com/advice";

  fetch(url).then(response => {

    if(!response.ok) {

      throw new Error(response.status)

    }

    return response.json()

  }).then(data => {

    displayQuote(data.slip.advice, data.slip.id)

  }).catch(error => {

    console.log(error)

  })

}

```

### Continued development

In the future I am either going to submit more projects provided by frontendmentor or I think of my own project ideas. The next project I want to complete is designing a calendar in figma and then build it using react and redux.
