Development Challenges and Solutions

1. Accordion Implementation

• Challenge: Develop interactive accordions with smooth animations.

• Solution:

  • Utilized React's useState hook to manage accordion states.

  • Implemented CSS transitions (using transform and max-height properties) to ensure smooth animations.

2. Video Play/Pause Functionality

• Challenge: Efficiently manage video playback states and integrate custom controls.

• Solution:

  • Leveraged React refs to create and manage custom video controls.

  • Implemented state management to toggle play/pause functionality and added event listeners to track video progress.

3. Viewport Visibility Tracking

• Challenge: Handle complex state management while maintaining a responsive layout.

• Solution:

  • Applied responsive design patterns using CSS Grid and Flexbox.

  • Structured reusable components to enhance maintainability and scalability.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

1. Video Playback Issues:

   • Verify browser compatibility and ensure that the video format is supported.

2. Accordion Animation Glitches:

   • Clear your browser cache.
   • Review CSS transition properties for any discrepancies.

Lessons Learned

Throughout the development process, several key insights were gained:

• Component Architecture: Improved understanding of effective state management, component composition, and performance optimization.

• Accordion Implementation: Reinforced best practices for CSS transitions, React state management, and accessibility.

• Video Player Controls: Enhanced knowledge of browser API integration and custom control implementation.

• Responsive Design: Deepened understanding of viewport visibility tracking and responsive layouts.
