Playground Template

Creating the Layout

In this playground, I focused on creating a reusable layout component for all playground pages. The PlaygroundLayout component provides a consistent structure for displaying playground content, title, description, and a blog section.

Here's the key part of the PlaygroundLayout component:

interface PlaygroundLayoutProps {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  children: ReactNode;
  blogContent: ReactNode;
}

const PlaygroundLayout: React.FC<PlaygroundLayoutProps> = ({ 
  children, 
  title, 
  description, 
  blogContent 
}) => {
  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-50">
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
        <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-2 text-indigo-900">{title}</h1>
        <p className="text-gray-600 mb-6">{description}</p>
        <div className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md p-6 mb-8">
          {children}
        </div>
        <div className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md p-6">
          {blogContent}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

Challenges Faced

One of the main challenges was designing a flexible layout that could accommodate various types of playground content. I needed to ensure that the layout could handle different content sizes and structures while maintaining a consistent look and feel across all playground pages.

Another challenge was implementing proper TypeScript types for the layout props, ensuring type safety when using the component across different playgrounds.

Future Improvements

In the future, I'd like to enhance the PlaygroundLayout component with additional features:

• Add a navigation component to easily switch between different playgrounds
• Implement a dark mode toggle for better accessibility
• Create a more sophisticated blog content structure, possibly with collapsible sections
• Add SEO optimization features, such as customizable meta tags for each playground
