Refactoring Code: LocalGov Drupal Alert Banner
I've been doing a lot of contribution to LocalGov Drupal. Here's my thought process when refactoring some code for the alert banner module.
LocalGov Drupal is the distribution for local councils in the United Kingdom. When reviewing the alert banner module, there were a few small issues that niggled me with the alert banner HTML and CSS. I wanted to make sure the HTML followed BEM naming conventions, and then the CSS the same. This means the CSS is easier to read, and relies less on nested selectors.
There was also a tiny issue with hover states on some of the buttons.
I've started streaming some of my work, especially if it's contributions to open source, on twitch if you'd like to follow along/subscribe. As it turns out, Twitch deletes your videos after 14 days, so I have also been uploading them to YouTube. Feel free to subscribe.
