Linting, dropdowns and carousels...

Things I've worked on/completed since my last post… Linting Dynamic User Interface Interactions Building a dropdown menu and publishing to npm Building a carousel Issues I had… Npm, json, dependencies etc. are still confusing me a bit - just taking it slowly and trying to see what’s going on as best I can. I had errors when trying to test my first npm package, but I decided to move on to stop going down a rabbit hole. I may revisit this in the future I was a bit confused on how to structure the carousel at first, mainly in terms of z-indices, but I played around with the code and got it working. Unfortunately, I did not read full instruction and set my divs up as siblings instead of parent and child. Although it worked, did not follow the prescribed method, so I need to rework my code…I later thought that the sibling versus parent and child structure might have saved me trouble with z-indices… Things that went well... I published my first npm package! It may not be the best thought out npm package that ever existed, but I did it. Things I've learnt/need to improve on... I made my first dropdown and carousel and published my first npm package! I found on what linting is. I need to make sure I read all instructions before proceeding with a task. Plan for the forthcoming week... I hope to finished the current section I’m on, which includes form validation and ‘What is ES6?’

I published my first npm package! It may not be the best thought out npm package that ever existed, but I did it.

I made my first dropdown and carousel and published my first npm package!

I found on what linting is.

I need to make sure I read all instructions before proceeding with a task.
