What's better than a Pizza on a weekend? 🍕🍕
Demo
Journey
So I initially began by writing a code for a simple pizza...
But then I thought about Dave Portnoy - Barstool Pizza Review Show
and knew that he would throw this flat pizza of mine right into the trash without even taking a bite.
So I pivoted, I cut my round pizza into (im)perfect slices just as my local pizza store does it using different
<div class="slice slice-1">....</div>
Each <div>
s will have individual toppings attached to them like
<div class="sauce"></div>
<div class="cheese"></div>
<div class="green-pepper pepper-1"></div>
<div class="green-pepper pepper-2"></div>
<div class="green-pepper pepper-3"></div>
<div class="tomatoes tomatoes-4"></div>
<div class="tomatoes tomatoes-5"></div>
<div class="olive olive-1"></div>
<div class="olive olive-2"></div>
<div class="olive olive-3"></div>
Challenges & Learning
My greatest challenge and learning from this exercise were:
1. CSS clip-path
clip-path: polygon(10% 50%, 20% 45%, 30% 40%, 40% 40%, 50% 40%, 60% 40%, 70% 40%, 80% 40%, 90% 45%, 100% 70%, 90% 65%, 80% 60%, 70% 55%, 60% 55%, 50% 55%, 40% 55%, 30% 55%, 20% 55%, 10% 55%);
I Spent hours understanding how the clip-path works and giving the perfect bend to my green peppers for better taste.
2. Blur and Cheese pull effect
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<defs>
<filter id="goo">
<feGaussianBlur in="SourceGraphic" result="blur" stdDeviation="10" />
<feColorMatrix in="blur" mode="matrix" values="1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 18 -7" result="goo" />
<feComposite in2="goo" in="SourceGraphic" result="mix" />
</filter>
</defs>
</svg>
I took the inspiration from Online Code Pen that I found and took it to Google Gemini to understand what each attribute does.
feGaussianBlur
: This filter adds a Gaussian blur effect to the element and we can control the blur radius.feColorMatrix
: This filter manipulates the element's colors. We can adjust the saturation, contrast, and hue to create the "gooey" effect.feComposite
: Allows to composite the two/multiple filters and the attribute defines the first input of the composition.
Thank you for the wonderful exercise.
