Assignment 4: T-shirt Customizer

Overview

This assignment will help you practice JavaScript basics. The HTML and CSS is provided for you. You only need to write JavaScript to implement all the interactivity.

Sample

Requirements

Setup
  1. Download starter files (dropbox link).
  2. Write all JavaScript in the included .html file.
  3. Do NOT modify the HTML.
  4. You can complete this assignment without modifying the included external CSS file but you may modify it if needed.
    1. Note: The starter file utilizes Bootstrap CSS classes.
  5. Do NOT write inline JavaScript.
  6. Open up the Inspect tool as you work on this assignment. Use the Console to catch errors and use the Elements tab to see how the HTML elements change.
Customizer
  1. Text to put on T-shirt
    1. As user types text into the text field, display the text in <div id="tshirt-preview">. The div is already positioned for you so you do not need to modify any CSS.
    2. If user types in more than 20 characters:
      1. Change the message “max 20 characters” text color to red and add a CSS class .is-invalid to the text input. .is-invalid is a Bootstrap CSS class that automatically gives a red border around the input.
  2. Font, font size, and text color
    1. When user selects a different font in the dropdown, change the t-shirt font to that font.
      1. Use onchange event to detect change in the dropdown and slider.
    2. When user changes the font size slider, change the t-shirt font size to that size.
    3. When user clicks on one of the text color boxes, change the t-shirt text color to that color AND add a gray border around the color box that was clicked on (add CSS class .selected to it).
Add to Cart
  1. When user clicks “Add to Cart”:
    1. Validate that “Text to put on T-shirt” input field is not empty and is not have longer than 20 characters. Show a red error message below the button and add .is-invalid class around the text input to display a red border around it. Do not update the shopping cart if validation rules are not met.
    2. Shopping cart: hide the “Cart is empty” message if above validation rules are met.
    3. Shopping cart: show the t-shirt information that is in the <div class="cart-item">.
    4. Shopping cart: Update the subtotal, tax, and total fields accordingly.
      1. Each shirt base price is $20.00.
      2. Tax rate is 9.5%.
      3. In JavaScript, calculating floating points are not always accurate (e.g. 0.1 + 0.2 does not equal to 0.3). There are ways to go around this issue but for this assignment, it is OK if not exact results are returned.
      4. Use .toFixed() to set two digits after the decimal place. There are known rounding issues with .toFixed() but it is OK if rounding is a little off in this assignment.
    5. Shopping cart: Update the quantity by one every time user clicks “Add to Cart.” Subtotal, tax, and total must be recalculated every time the quantity is updated.


Remove from Cart
  1. When user clicks on “Remove from Cart”:
    1. Shopping cart: show the “Cart is empty” message.
    2. Shopping cart: hide the shirt information
    3. Shopping cart: Reset the Subtotal, Tax, and Total to 0 (zero).
