Overview

The challenge

Your challenge is to build out this recipe page and get it looking as close to the design as possible.

You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go.

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

How to use the CSS counter-reset and counter-increment properties and the CSS counter() function to customize the style of an ol element.

Short recap

• counter-reset initalize the count with 0
• counter-increment increase 1 to count
• counter() - get the current value of the count

Example

Suppose we want to style the following ol element, which each li child must have the ✅ checkbox before its number:

<ol>
  <li>HTML</li>
  <li>CSS</li>
  <li>JavaScript</li>
</ol>

ol {
  /** 
   * remove the default
   * list style 
   */
  list-style: none;

  /* set 0 to "my-count"  */
  counter-reset: my-count; 
}

li::before {
  /**
   * increase 1 to "my-count" 
   * for each li
   */
  counter-increment: my-count;

  /* ✅ [n] */
  content: "✅ " counter(my-count) " ";
}

Output

✅ 1 HTML

✅ 2 CSS

✅ 3 JavaScript

Continued development

It would be nice if I could:

• Implement the design of this challenge without using CSS Media Query.
• Animate each recipe section when the user is scrolling on the page.

• W3Schools - here is where I've learned how to work with counter-reset, counter-increment and count().
