Welcome to an artistic journey where creativity meets programming! In this blog, we’ll walk through how to set up your own CSS Art Gallery project, resulting in a beautiful showcase of your artistic talents using CSS and React. Let’s copy, code, and create!
Getting Started
Before diving into art creation, we need to get the project up and running. Follow these simple steps:
- Install Dependencies:
Open your terminal and run the following command:
yarn install
- Start the Project:
Once the installation is complete, run the command to start the project:
yarn start
- Open in the Browser:
Visit localhost:3000 in your browser to see the art gallery in action. The page will reload automatically as you make edits!
Making Your Own CSS Art
Now that your project is running smoothly, let’s create some CSS art! Here’s how to get it right:
- Do not create logos – let’s keep the creativity flowing in other directions!
- Create a folder for your art inside the
art
directory. Name it following the format: YourName + ArtName (e.g., SalilNaikTeddy). - Choose a gradient or a solid color background for the
.container
class – avoid the boring white background! - Test your component by importing it into
app.js
. Remember to revert the changes after testing. - Keep the dimensions of your art objects under 150px width and height; go up to 180px if absolutely necessary.
- No plagiarism! All code must be your unique artistry.
- Before you start coding, make sure to create an issue and get it assigned to you.
Understanding the Project Structure
Here’s a glimpse of how everything is organized in the project:
frontend/
├── art/
│ ├── 1_template/
│ │ ├── template.jsx
│ │ └── style.module.css
│ ├── SalilNaikTeddy/
│ │ ├── SalilNaikTeddy.jsx
│ │ └── style.module.css
│ └── RajCar/
│ ├── RajCar.jsx
│ └── style.module.css
└── App.js
React Component Conventions
To maintain consistency in your codebase, here are some guidelines to follow:
- Use PascalCase for naming your React components.
- Import CSS module as
style
in all pages and components. - Do not edit anything in the provided template; only add where directed.
Troubleshooting Tips
Encounter any issues while setting up or creating your work? Here are some troubleshooting ideas:
- If the project does not start, ensure that Yarn is installed and you’re in the correct directory before running the commands.
- If you face conflicts while pushing your code, remember to pull the latest changes from the repository before proceeding.
- For styling issues, double-check that you’re not exceeding the specified dimensions for your art components.
