Active State Indicators

.active-category::after {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -8px;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    width: 6px;
    height: 6px;
    background: #667eea;
    border-radius: 50%;
}

css
/* Light mode */
.shadow-md, .shadow-lg, .bottom-nav-shadow

/* Dark mode adjustments */
.dark .bottom-nav-shadow {
    box-shadow: 0 -4px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}

    width: 6px;
}

.sidebar-scroll::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: #f1f1f1;
    border-radius: 10px;
}

/* Dark mode variants */
.dark .sidebar-scroll::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: #374151;
}

Component-Specific Styles

1. Header Component

html
<header class="fixed top-0 left-0 right-0 z-50 bg-white shadow-md dark:bg-gray-800">
    <div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-3">
        <div class="flex items-center justify-between">
            <!-- Content -->
        </div>
    </div>
</header>

2. Sidebar Component

html
<aside class="fixed lg:static top-16 left-0 h-[calc(100vh-4rem)] w-64 bg-white shadow-lg lg:shadow-none sidebar-transition transform lg:translate-x-0 z-40 -translate-x-full">
    <!-- Content -->
</aside>

3. Card Components

html
<div class="bg-gradient-to-br from-blue-500 to-blue-600 text-white p-6 rounded-2xl shadow-lg card-hover">
    <!-- Card content -->
</div>

4. Bottom Navigation (Mobile)

html
<nav class="fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 bg-white bottom-nav-shadow lg:hidden z-40">
    <div class="flex justify-around py-3 px-2">
        <!-- Navigation items -->
    </div>
</nav>

JavaScript Architecture

1. State Management Pattern

javascript
const state = {
    darkMode: localStorage.getItem('darkMode') === 'true',
    sidebarOpen: false
};

2. DOM Element Caching

javascript
const elements = {
    sidebar: document.getElementById('sidebar'),
    sidebarToggle: document.getElementById('sidebarToggle'),
    darkModeToggle: document.getElementById('darkModeToggle'),
    darkModeIcon: document.getElementById('darkModeIcon'),
    body: document.body
};

3. Event-Driven Architecture

javascript
// Event listener setup
elements.sidebarToggle.addEventListener('click', toggleSidebar);
elements.darkModeToggle.addEventListener('click', toggleDarkMode);

// Event delegation for dynamic elements
document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
    // Handle clicks outside sidebar on mobile
});

4. Utility Functions

javascript
// Toggle functions
function toggleSidebar() { /* ... */ }
function toggleDarkMode() { /* ... */ }

// Navigation functions
function showCategory(category) { /* ... */ }
function highlightCurrentPage() { /* ... */ }

Theme System Implementation

1. Dark/Light Mode Switch

javascript
function toggleDarkMode() {
    state.darkMode = !state.darkMode;
    
    if (state.darkMode) {
        elements.body.classList.add('dark');
        elements.darkModeIcon.classList.remove('fa-moon');
        elements.darkModeIcon.classList.add('fa-sun');
    } else {
        elements.body.classList.remove('dark');
        elements.darkModeIcon.classList.remove('fa-sun');
        elements.darkModeIcon.classList.add('fa-moon');
    }
    
    localStorage.setItem('darkMode', state.darkMode);
}

2. Theme-Aware Components

html
<!-- Components with dark mode variants -->
<div class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 border border-gray-300 dark:border-gray-700">
    <!-- Content -->
</div>

Responsive Design Patterns

1. Mobile-First Breakpoints

css
/* Mobile (default) */
.w-full, .p-4, .block

/* Tablet (md: 768px) */
.md:grid-cols-2, .md:block

/* Desktop (lg: 1024px) */
.lg:grid-cols-4, .lg:static, .lg:ml-64

2. Conditional Visibility

html
<!-- Hidden on mobile, visible on desktop -->
<div class="hidden md:block">
    <!-- Search bar -->
</div>

<!-- Bottom nav only on mobile -->
<nav class="lg:hidden">
    <!-- Mobile navigation -->
</nav>

Accessibility Features

1. Semantic HTML

html
<header>, <main>, <aside>, <nav>, <section>

<!-- Proper heading hierarchy -->
<h1>, <h2>, <h3>

2. Interactive Elements

html
<button> elements for all interactive actions
aria-label attributes where needed
focus states with Tailwind focus: classes

Performance Optimizations

1. Efficient CSS

  • Utility-first approach with Tailwind

  • Minimal custom CSS

  • Efficient selectors

2. JavaScript Optimization

  • Event delegation for dynamic elements

  • Local storage for persistent state

  • Debounced/resize handlers

This structure provides a clean, maintainable, and scalable foundation for building responsive web applications with consistent theming and good performance characteristics.
