Points to be noted
- I have extracted the icon component into a reusable component named IconText.
- I am importing all the SVGs from a common utility file to make updates easier and save some lines of code.
- Since the project is built in dark mode, I have added background and text colors in the index.css file for the body.
1body { 2 @apply bg-[#222222] text-white; 3}
Usage: Project Card in Action
You have the flexibility to render and display the project card component as you see fit, whether by stacking them or using a grid layout.
I have extracted all the project data and added it to the appData folder to make our code cleaner and address points of concern.
1import { projects } from './appData' 2import ProjectCard from './components/ProjectCard/ProjectCard' 3 4function App() { 5 return ( 6 <div className="mx-auto max-w-[1200px] px-3 py-10"> 7 <h2 className="text-3xl font-semibold tracking-wider">Projects</h2> 8 <hr className="mb-8 mt-4 h-px border-0 bg-[#18F2E5]"></hr> 9 <div className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-x-8 gap-y-8 md:grid-cols-2"> 10 {projects.map((project) => ( 11 <ProjectCard data={project} /> 12 ))} 13 </div> 14 </div> 15 ) 16} 17 18export default App
