## My process

### Built with

- Semantic HTML5 markup

- CSS (via SCSS)

  - custom properties

  - logical properties

  - flexbox

  - grid

- JavaScript (via TypeScript)

- Mobile-first workflow

### What I learned

In order to use the breakpoints I named in SCSS in JavaScript, I added custom properties targeting the breakpoints to the `:root` selector. First, I wanted to use `getComputedStyle()` to retrieve the custom properties, but Chrome does not include custom properties within the object returned by such a method (Chrome 131- at the time when I wrote these lines). Instead, I used `document.styleSheets` and nested `for` loops to get the custom properties.
