eLucy Responsiveness

July 17, 2020 By Jake Engelberg

The current responsiveness of eLucy was somewhat there when I started working on it, but things were generally unaligned, and boxes where justified wrong with each other, along with uneven spacing or widths. A fair amount of work was put into equalizing these things.

Another aspect I had to implement for eLucy mobile responsiveness was the mobile’s hamburger menu. It existed, but no logic attached to it to actually work. Not sure how that actually happened, but I luckily the styling and HTML placement of the desktop navigation area wasn’t difficult to work with. I modified the style in mobile to that of a dropdown, and added some JavaScript logic to connect it to the button. Because the navigation bar is always visible in desktop but not in mobile, I also added logic when switching between mobile and desktop view (which happens when resizing window on a computer). However, I still need to catch an edge case, making mobile’s pulldown invisible on pageload.
