6 Front-End Challenges For Developers
This tutorial will show you 6 challenges you can start solving today to become a master of front-end development. Are you able to code these front-end challenges?
Front-end development is stressful and hard — but with practice, one can master the craft. If you’re willing to put the work and effort in, you’ll be able to become a proficient problem solver in the front-end development landscape. One effective way to become a great front-end developer is to simply build and solve as many challenges as one can.
Here are six challenges you can start solving today to become a master of front-end development. Without further ado, here are the six challenges you probably should code.
- Credit Card Form
- Bar Chart From Scratch
- Twitter Heart Animation
- GitHub Repositories With Search Functionality
- Reddit-Style Chat Rooms
- Stripe-Style Navigation
1. Credit Card Form
A fantastic credit card form with smooth and sweet micro-interactions. Includes number formatting, validation, and automatic card-type detection. It’s built with Vue.js and is also fully responsive.
See it live here.
credit-card-form — https://github.com/muhammederdem/credit-card-form
What you’ll learn by solving the challenge
- Form handling and validation
- Handling event listeners (e.g., when the fields change, it’ll print the values on the credit card)
- Understanding how to display and position elements on the page, especially the credit card overlapping the form
2. Bar Chart From Scratch
A bar chart or bar graph is a chart or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values they represent.
The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes called a line graph.
What you’ll learn by solving the challenge
- Display data in a structured and easily understandable way
- Optional: Learn how to use the
<canvas>element and how to draw elements with it
You can find the data for the world population by year here.
3. Twitter Heart Animation
Back in 2016, Twitter introduced this awesome animation for their tweet likes. As of 2019, it still looks rad, so why not create one yourself?
Twitter tweet like animation
What you’ll learn by solving the challenge
- How the
keyframesCSS attribute works - How to manipulate and animate HTML elements
- How to combine JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
4. GitHub Repositories With Search Functionality
Nothing out of the world here — GitHub repositories are basically just a glorified list.
The task is to display the repositories and allow the user to filter through the repositories. Use the official GitHub API to fetch repositories per user.
GitHub profile page — https://github.com/indreklasn
What you’ll learn by solving the challenge
- How to fetch data from an API
- How to display the data from the API
- How to filter and show the relevant data for each search
5. Reddit-Style Chat Rooms
Chat rooms are a popular way of communicating thanks to being easy and fun to use. But what actually powers modern-day chat rooms? WebSockets!
What you’ll learn by solving the challenge
- How to use WebSockets and real-time communication and data updates
- How user permissions levels work (e.g, the owner of a chat channel has the role of
admin, while others in the room have the role ofuser) - Form validation and handling — remember, the chat box for sending a message is an
inputelement - How to create and join different chat rooms
- Direct messages and how they work. Users can communicate with other users privately. Essentially, you’ll be establishing a WebSocket connection between two users.
6. Stripe-Style Navigation
What’s unique about this navigation is the popover container morphs to fit the content. There’s an elegance to this transition versus the traditional behavior of opening and closing a new popover entirely.
Stripe navigation
What you’ll learn by solving the challenge
- How to combine CSS animations with transitions
- Cross-fading content and applying the
activeclass for the element being hovered
Conclusion
Thanks for reading — hope you found something interesting to code.

A Simple Wrapper Around Amplify AppSync Simulator
This serverless plugin is a wrapper for amplify-appsync-simulator made for testing AppSync APIs built with serverless-appsync-plugin.
Install
npm install serverless-appsync-simulator
# or
yarn add serverless-appsync-simulator
Usage
This plugin relies on your serverless yml file and on the serverless-offline plugin.
plugins:
- serverless-dynamodb-local # only if you need dynamodb resolvers and you don't have an external dynamodb
- serverless-appsync-simulator
- serverless-offline
Note: Order is important serverless-appsync-simulator must go before serverless-offline
To start the simulator, run the following command:
sls offline start
You should see in the logs something like:
...
Serverless: AppSync endpoint: http://localhost:20002/graphql
Serverless: GraphiQl: http://localhost:20002
...
Configuration
Put options under custom.appsync-simulator in your serverless.yml file
| option | default | description | | ------------------------ | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | | apiKey | 0123456789 | When using API_KEY as authentication type, the key to authenticate to the endpoint. | | port | 20002 | AppSync operations port; if using multiple APIs, the value of this option will be used as a starting point, and each other API will have a port of lastPort + 10 (e.g. 20002, 20012, 20022, etc.) | | wsPort | 20003 | AppSync subscriptions port; if using multiple APIs, the value of this option will be used as a starting point, and each other API will have a port of lastPort + 10 (e.g. 20003, 20013, 20023, etc.) | | location | . (base directory) | Location of the lambda functions handlers. | | refMap | {} | A mapping of resource resolutions for the Ref function | | getAttMap | {} | A mapping of resource resolutions for the GetAtt function | | importValueMap | {} | A mapping of resource resolutions for the ImportValue function | | functions | {} | A mapping of external functions for providing invoke url for external fucntions | | dynamoDb.endpoint | http://localhost:8000 | Dynamodb endpoint. Specify it if you're not using serverless-dynamodb-local. Otherwise, port is taken from dynamodb-local conf | | dynamoDb.region | localhost | Dynamodb region. Specify it if you're connecting to a remote Dynamodb intance. | | dynamoDb.accessKeyId | DEFAULT_ACCESS_KEY | AWS Access Key ID to access DynamoDB | | dynamoDb.secretAccessKey | DEFAULT_SECRET | AWS Secret Key to access DynamoDB | | dynamoDb.sessionToken | DEFAULT_ACCESS_TOKEEN | AWS Session Token to access DynamoDB, only if you have temporary security credentials configured on AWS | | dynamoDb.* | | You can add every configuration accepted by DynamoDB SDK | | rds.dbName | | Name of the database | | rds.dbHost | | Database host | | rds.dbDialect | | Database dialect. Possible values (mysql | postgres) | | rds.dbUsername | | Database username | | rds.dbPassword | | Database password | | rds.dbPort | | Database port | | watch | - *.graphql
- *.vtl | Array of glob patterns to watch for hot-reloading. |
Example:
custom:
appsync-simulator:
location: '.webpack/service' # use webpack build directory
dynamoDb:
endpoint: 'http://my-custom-dynamo:8000'
Hot-reloading
By default, the simulator will hot-relad when changes to *.graphql or *.vtl files are detected. Changes to *.yml files are not supported (yet? - this is a Serverless Framework limitation). You will need to restart the simulator each time you change yml files.
Hot-reloading relies on watchman. Make sure it is installed on your system.
You can change the files being watched with the watch option, which is then passed to watchman as the match expression.
e.g.
custom:
appsync-simulator:
watch:
- ["match", "handlers/**/*.vtl", "wholename"] # => array is interpreted as the literal match expression
- "*.graphql" # => string like this is equivalent to `["match", "*.graphql"]`
Or you can opt-out by leaving an empty array or set the option to false
Note: Functions should not require hot-reloading, unless you are using a transpiler or a bundler (such as webpack, babel or typescript), un which case you should delegate hot-reloading to that instead.
Resource CloudFormation functions resolution
This plugin supports some resources resolution from the Ref, Fn::GetAtt and Fn::ImportValue functions in your yaml file. It also supports some other Cfn functions such as Fn::Join, Fb::Sub, etc.
Note: Under the hood, this features relies on the cfn-resolver-lib package. For more info on supported cfn functions, refer to the documentation
Basic usage
You can reference resources in your functions' environment variables (that will be accessible from your lambda functions) or datasource definitions. The plugin will automatically resolve them for you.
provider:
environment:
BUCKET_NAME:
Ref: MyBucket # resolves to `my-bucket-name`
resources:
Resources:
MyDbTable:
Type: AWS::DynamoDB::Table
Properties:
TableName: myTable
...
MyBucket:
Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
Properties:
BucketName: my-bucket-name
...
# in your appsync config
dataSources:
- type: AMAZON_DYNAMODB
name: dynamosource
config:
tableName:
Ref: MyDbTable # resolves to `myTable`
Override (or mock) values
Sometimes, some references cannot be resolved, as they come from an Output from Cloudformation; or you might want to use mocked values in your local environment.
In those cases, you can define (or override) those values using the refMap, getAttMap and importValueMap options.
refMaptakes a mapping of resource name to value pairsgetAttMaptakes a mapping of resource name to attribute/values pairsimportValueMaptakes a mapping of import name to values pairs
Example:
custom:
appsync-simulator:
refMap:
# Override `MyDbTable` resolution from the previous example.
MyDbTable: 'mock-myTable'
getAttMap:
# define ElasticSearchInstance DomainName
ElasticSearchInstance:
DomainEndpoint: 'localhost:9200'
importValueMap:
other-service-api-url: 'https://other.api.url.com/graphql'
# in your appsync config
dataSources:
- type: AMAZON_ELASTICSEARCH
name: elasticsource
config:
# endpoint resolves as 'http://localhost:9200'
endpoint:
Fn::Join:
- ''
- - https://
- Fn::GetAtt:
- ElasticSearchInstance
- DomainEndpoint
Key-value mock notation
In some special cases you will need to use key-value mock nottation. Good example can be case when you need to include serverless stage value (${self:provider.stage}) in the import name.
This notation can be used with all mocks - refMap, getAttMap and importValueMap
provider:
environment:
FINISH_ACTIVITY_FUNCTION_ARN:
Fn::ImportValue: other-service-api-${self:provider.stage}-url
custom:
serverless-appsync-simulator:
importValueMap:
- key: other-service-api-${self:provider.stage}-url
value: 'https://other.api.url.com/graphql'
Limitations
This plugin only tries to resolve the following parts of the yml tree:
provider.environmentfunctions[*].environmentcustom.appSync
If you have the need of resolving others, feel free to open an issue and explain your use case.
For now, the supported resources to be automatically resovled by Ref: are:
- DynamoDb tables
- S3 Buckets
Feel free to open a PR or an issue to extend them as well.
External functions
When a function is not defined withing the current serverless file you can still call it by providing an invoke url which should point to a REST method. Make sure you specify "get" or "post" for the method. Default is "get", but you probably want "post".
custom:
appsync-simulator:
functions:
addUser:
url: http://localhost:3016/2015-03-31/functions/addUser/invocations
method: post
addPost:
url: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
method: post
Supported Resolver types
This plugin supports resolvers implemented by amplify-appsync-simulator, as well as custom resolvers.
From Aws Amplify:
- NONE
- AWS_LAMBDA
- AMAZON_DYNAMODB
- PIPELINE
Implemented by this plugin
- AMAZON_ELASTIC_SEARCH
- HTTP
- RELATIONAL_DATABASE

"statements": [
"UPDATE <name-of-table> set deleted_at=NOW() WHERE id=:ID",
"SELECT * FROM <name-of-table> WHERE id=:ID and unix_timestamp > $ctx.args.newerThan"
],
variableMap: {
":ID": $ctx.args.id,
## ":TIMESTAMP": $ctx.args.newerThan -- This will be handled as a string!!!
}
}Requires
- serverless framework
- serverless-appsync-plugin
- serverless-offline
- serverless-dynamodb-local (when using dynamodb resolvers only)
- watchman (if Hot-reloading is desactivated it is not required)

Front End Development Best Practices To Follow
As someone from a non-tech background, you might not understand the complexities of front-end development. What we see on our mobile screens or PCs is a mere fragment of intricately woven code. But if you are looking forward to developing an application, you would have to dive in and know the scopes found in front-end development with the advent of new technologies, tools, and frameworks.
In this blog, we will help you understand the best practices of Front-end development and the burgeoning trends that would help you ensure the quality development of your digital products. Learn about the future of web development is here.
GUI Development Best Practices: UX And UI
Before you start the development work, it is essential to discuss the user experience and user interface of your product. The front-end of any software is the only thing that interacts with your users. Moreover, it is important that you make incredible contact with your users. It is not just about the smoothness; also about navigation; you have to make things as simple as possible for your users to interact with your product.
User Experience Vs. User Interface
Most people confuse user experience and user interface to be one and the same thing. But they cannot be more wrong. User experience and user interface work together; they are different components of your product’s front end? Here are a few things which they share and that differentiate them.
-
User Experience
Starting with UX, it is a term coined by Don Norman, and when he did that, he did not contextualize it to any kind of software product. It was used for multiple disciplines, including marketing, graphical & industrial design, interface, and engineering.
In software development, it focuses on building user-centric processes that optimize the user interaction with the product. The best practices of delivering a great user experience include; researching customer behavior, understanding the context in which the audience takes action, and creating a systematic vision for the target audience to reach its goal.Use your newfound knowledge to develop an actual graphic design. It needs to be analytical and action-provoking. A good UX designer would always understand the way a user interacts with your product. -
User Interface
User experience helps you define the user interface design. It would include the components that make up the entire experience of the product. Additionally, it includes toggle, background, fonts, animation, and other graphical elements.
If the user experience is about how the user interacts with your products, the user interface is about giving them the channels to interact with your product. So, the best practices of creating a rewarding user interface are; following brand style guidelines, intuitive design, support for various screen sizes, and effective implementation.
Front-End Development Best Practices: Design To Development
Once you are done with the design part, it is time to dive into development. The process includes turning the graphical assets into a functioning product. There are various approaches that the software community uses, but the most rewarding one is object-driven design and development as it improves the user experience tenfold.
The object-driven approach allows you to design graphical assets that follow the same design and pattern. Also, it allows you to translate the components for faster delivery and a cohesive UX and UI experience across products and platforms.
The design to development process allows you to build interfaces that include layouts, colors, typography, spacing, and more. Front-end development teams are required to work according to the guidelines of the target platform, and they must focus on the UI and UX peculiarities of product development. It is likely that you may face some temporary technical challenges during development and implementation.
It is a trend to automate the front-end development of software with Zeplin or Avocode. The tools ensure access to the updated design, accurate specs and automatically generate the code snippet that allows faster delivery. Learn about the right process of web development here.
- Frontend CSS Frameworks
Depending on the project specification, a software development company would suggest you the right toolsets. The most popular front-end CSS frameworks are Bootstrap, Foundation, Material Design; they are known for increasing the speed of development and come with ready-to-use components that make it easy to replace the manual code and comply with responsive web design standards.
Here is a list of popular front-end development technologies
- React
- Angular
- Vue.JS
- Knockout and Backbone

Syntax
#define directive
Constants and generic code can be defined with the following syntax :
#define old code
#as new code
#define old code
#as
new
code
#end
#define
old
code
#as new code
#define
old
code
#as
new
code
#end
#define parameter
The #define directive can contain one or several parameters :
{{variable name}} : hierarchical code (with properly matching brackets and parentheses)
{{variable name#}} : statement code (hierarchical code without semicolon)
{{variable name$}} : plain code
{{variable name:boolean expression}} : conditional hierarchical code
{{variable name#:boolean expression}} : conditional statement code
{{variable name$:boolean expression}} : conditional plain code
They can have a boolean expression to require they match specific conditions :
HasText text
HasPrefix prefix
HasSuffix suffix
HasIdentifier text
false
true
!expression
expression && expression
expression || expression
( expression )
The #define directive must not start or end with a parameter.
#as parameter
The #as directive can use the value of the #define parameters :
{{variable name}}
{{variable name:filter function}}
{{variable name:filter function:filter function:...}}
Their value can be changed through one or several filter functions :
LowerCase
UpperCase
MinorCase
MajorCase
SnakeCase
PascalCase
CamelCase
RemoveComments
RemoveBlanks
PackStrings
PackIdentifiers
ReplacePrefix old_prefix new_prefix
ReplaceSuffix old_suffix new_suffix
ReplaceText old_text new_text
ReplaceIdentifier old_identifier new_identifier
AddPrefix prefix
AddSuffix suffix
RemovePrefix prefix
RemoveSuffix suffix
RemoveText text
RemoveIdentifier identifier
#if directive
Conditional code can be defined with the following syntax :
#if boolean expression
#if boolean expression
...
#else
...
#end
#else
#if boolean expression
...
#else
...
#end
#end
The boolean expression can use the following operators :
false
true
!expression
expression && expression
expression || expression
( expression )
#write directive
Templated HTML code can be sent to a stream writer using the following syntax :
#write writer expression
<% code %>
<%@ natural expression %>
<%# integer expression %>
<%& real expression %>
<%~ text expression %>
<%= escaped text expression %>
<%! removed content %>
<%% ignored tags %%>
#end
Limitations
- There is no operator precedence in boolean expressions.
- The
--joinoption requires to end the statements with a semicolon. - The
#writerdirective is only available for the Go language.
Installation
Install the DMD 2 compiler (using the MinGW setup option on Windows).
Build the executable with the following command line :
dmd -m64 generis.d
Command line
generis [options]
Options
--prefix # : set the command prefix
--parse INPUT_FOLDER/ : parse the definitions of the Generis files in the input folder
--process INPUT_FOLDER/ OUTPUT_FOLDER/ : reads the Generis files in the input folder and writes the processed files in the output folder
--trim : trim the HTML templates
--join : join the split statements
--create : create the output folders if needed
--watch : watch the Generis files for modifications
--pause 500 : time to wait before checking the Generis files again
--tabulation 4 : set the tabulation space count
--extension .go : generate files with this extension
