--description--
One of the most popular shapes in the world is the heart shape, and in this challenge you'll create one using pure CSS. But first, you need to understand the ::before
and ::after
pseudo-elements. ::before
creates a pseudo-element that is the first child of the selected element; ::after
creates a pseudo-element that is the last child of the selected element. In the following example, a ::before
pseudo-element is used to add a rectangle to an element with the class heart
:
.heart::before {
content: "";
background-color: yellow;
border-radius: 25%;
position: absolute;
height: 50px;
width: 70px;
top: -50px;
left: 5px;
}
For the ::before
and ::after
pseudo-elements to function properly, they must have a defined content
property. This property is usually used to add things like a photo or text to the selected element. When the ::before
and ::after
pseudo-elements are used to make shapes, the content
property is still required, but it's set to an empty string. In the above example, the element with the class of heart
has a ::before
pseudo-element that produces a yellow rectangle with height and width of 50px
and 70px
, respectively. This rectangle has round corners due to its 25% border-radius
and is positioned absolutely at 5px
from the left and 50px
above the top of the element.
--instructions--
Transform the element on the screen to a heart. In the .heart::after
selector, change the background-color
to pink
and the border-radius
to 50%.
Next, target the element with the class heart
(just heart
) and fill in the transform
property. Use the rotate()
function with -45 degrees.
Finally, in the .heart::before
selector, set its content
property to an empty string.
--hints--
The background-color
property of the .heart::after
selector should be pink
.
const heartAfter = code.match(/\.heart::after\s*{[\s\S]+?[^\}]}/g)[0];
assert(
/({|;)\s*background-color\s*:\s*pink\s*(;|})/g.test(heartAfter)
);
The border-radius
of the .heart::after
selector should be 50%.
assert(code.match(/border-radius\s*?:\s*?50%/gi).length == 2);
The transform
property for the heart
class should use a rotate()
function set to -45 degrees.
assert(code.match(/transform\s*?:\s*?rotate\(\s*?-45deg\s*?\)/gi));
The content
of the .heart::before
selector should be an empty string.
assert(code.match(/\.heart::before\s*?{\s*?content\s*?:\s*?("|')\1\s*?;/gi));
