Introduction

Hello, developers! I'm excited to share my latest project: a Profile Card. This simple yet elegant project is a great way to showcase your front-end development skills while creating a reusable component for personal or professional use. Whether you're building a personal portfolio or a business website, this Profile Card can add a polished and professional touch to your web pages.

Project Overview

The Profile Card project is a web-based component that displays a user's profile picture, name, status, and a brief description. It's designed to be interactive, allowing users to add or remove friends with just a click of a button. This project demonstrates how to work with dynamic content, event listeners, and conditional rendering using JavaScript.

  • Interactive Design: Users can interact with the profile card by adding or removing friends.
  • Responsive Layout: The card is designed to look great on various devices and screen sizes.
  • Dynamic Content: The profile card dynamically updates its content based on user interactions.

Technologies Used

  • HTML: Provides the structure for the profile card.
  • CSS: Styles the card, ensuring it is visually appealing and responsive.
  • JavaScript: Handles the interactive features, such as updating the card's status and re-rendering content.

Code Explanation

HTML

The index.html file defines the structure of the Profile Card, including the header, main content area, and footer. Here’s a snippet:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Profile Card</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script src="script.js" defer></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="header">
      <h1>Profile Card</h1>
    </div>
    <div id="main"></div>
    <div class="footer">
      <p>Made with ❤️ by Abhishek Gurjar</p>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

CSS

The style.css file styles the Profile Card, ensuring it's visually appealing and responsive. Below are some key styles:

body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

.header {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  margin: 50px;
  text-align: center;
}

#main {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  gap: 20px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 65vh;
}

#card {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 20px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  width: 200px;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: #ffffff;
}

#card #img {
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

#card button {
  padding: 12px 22px;
  color: #fff;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

.footer {
  margin: 50px;
  text-align: center;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

JavaScript

The script.js file contains the logic for dynamically generating the Profile Cards and handling user interactions. Here's a snippet:

var arr = [
  {
    name: "Alexander",
    img: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1506794778202-cad84cf45f1d?q=80&w=1887&auto=format&fit=crop&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D",
    status: "Stranger",
  },
  {
    name: "Alex",
    img: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1549780101-0c96c7eafbd9?q=80&w=1886&auto=format&fit=crop&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D",
    status: "Stranger",
  },
];

function print() {
  var clutter = "";
  arr.forEach(function (val, index) {
    clutter += `<div id="card">
      <div id="img">
        <img src="${val.img}">
      </div>
      <h3>${val.name}</h3>
      <h5 id="${val.status}">${val.status}</h5>
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Mollitia consequatur nobis natus. Provident?</p>
      <button class="${val.status === "Stranger" ? "blue" : "red"}" id="${index}">
        ${val.status === "Stranger" ? "Add Friend" : "Remove Friend"}
      </button>
    </div>`;
  });
  document.querySelector("#main").innerHTML = clutter;
}
print();

document.querySelector("#main").addEventListener("click", function (details) {
  arr[details.target.id].status = "Friends";
  print();
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
