What I learned

This project is a good starter for some experimental CSS. In this particular one, I made use of very basic SASS and standard HTML5. This produced the desired result, but there is room to upgrade this component using animation, JavaScript to dynamically generate the QR-code image, and create mixins for the border radius and drop-shadows. The below mixin is a start of the next version of this project.:

SASS mixin to define positioning.

@mixin flex($dir: row, $just: space-between, $align: center) {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: $dir;
  justify-content: $just;
  align-items: $align;
}

SASS to center a div vertically and horizontally. A common pain, easily solved with Flexbox

body {
  background-color: #d5e1ef;
  min-height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-around;
}

Continued development

Further development of this project, will be the use of more tricky and advanced SASS mixins to make the component more reusable.
