Love your channel. Using a bit of geometry you know that the corner will be sqrt(2) * --border-radius away from ur before elements center. Sqrt(2) is 1.414 so if you make your box shadow stroke (0.5 * --border-radius) you are guaranteed to fill the gap while basically minimizing the chance of overlapping other content on the page.

Hi there! As a trainer at a coding bootcamp, you so often already helped me give my students additional and deep informations on several topic just like Grid, Position etc. Now to give something back for all the times you helped me: I personally use a element instead of for my navigation lists, as per definition by MDN Web Docs I find it more fitting. In the end it may not really matter much, as the browser treats "menu" exactly the same as "ul" (giving it the exact same default stylings, too). However, it makes reading and understanding code just this tiny bit more comfortable in my opinion.

Iv been doing the same, but have you seen current job market? It will be miracle if you ever get hired and css skills are extremely unimportant as everyone just uses frameworks anyway. I'm not saying it to be ahole, I'm simply in same situation as you, over last 2 years front end pretty much died. Because of massive fang layoffs etc they can hire extremely skilled people as juniors.

@uahnbu 4 месяца назад

Cool video Kevin! It shows some ideas behind making the curved navigation menu. For the animation to work without enabling the experimental feature you can use css sibling selector. Also, if you want to support all types of background, from gradients to images, use SVG shapes instead of box shadow.

@tspander 5 месяцев назад

Cool project! I think you could achieve the rounded corners effect semantically cleaner though by keeping the pseudo elements square and using a radial gradient as the background image. For the top one you would have the center of the gradient be in the top left corner, and add a transparent color stop at --border-radius, then another color stop also at --border-radius that has the body-bg color. :)

@Cuwubiq 5 месяцев назад

i wanted to write the same thing, it is in my opinion so much easier to do these with radial gradient trick, the only downside is possibly the additional step of adding the antialiasing by making the transition between transparent and solid color offset by like .3px but that's still super easy to implement. not even talking about the fact that he wouldn't have to use 2 pseudos, easily he could have done both corners with just one.

@clevermissfox 5 месяцев назад

Hmm I'm curious what that radial gradient would look like using one pseudo element for both. I know RU-vid isn't ideal for posting code but if you see this I'd love to know what that radial-gradient value would look like.

@clevermissfox 5 месяцев назад

@@Cuwubiq wait cubiq I think I know you from discord! I'll ask you there!

@tspander 4 месяца назад

@@clevermissfoxnot sure what they had in mind but you can layer multiple radial gradients into one background so if you just had the pseudo element be big enough you could place both gradients inside it. That's what I think it would be

@abdoseadaa 3 месяца назад

Genuis method to achive the task ... Great, 3 months ago i had to do the same design of this nav it took me 3 hours to find a way but it was complicated than yours, but the one you made is a lot easier and straight forwards. ended up with me designing these curves on a figma and exported it as svg stick it with img tag with absolute position 😂😂 much easier and more simple

@cssgabriel 5 месяцев назад

Very good!

@markboots_ 5 месяцев назад

instead of having the negative positions with the calcs of the the vars, you could have done bottom 100% and top 100% for the opposite pseudo elements

@stephaniepeters2590 4 месяца назад

Looks great! Althought I might have put all the paddings (not the margins though) on the a, rather than the li, so that you can hover over the entire area and have the link respond to clicks

@myartikool 5 месяцев назад

Damn, I thought the bg-color gonna be transparent and got very excited.

@KevinPowell 5 месяцев назад

You could probably do this with an SVG and a mask, or maybe a clip-path, and you'd have that, but then the positioning of it relies on JS. That's fine if it's what you need, but I'd rather fake it and keep the functionality simpler if I can :)

@deatho0ne587 5 месяцев назад

Minor suggestions before the transitions. .nav-list li.active { background-color: transparent; ... } .nav-list li.active::before { ... } for the box-shadow make it based on your --border-radius and gap bewteen nav and main, maybe a min() between the two.

@KevinPowell 5 месяцев назад

For the box-shadow, that would work great. Not sure why you suggest the transparent background though? It would just be white then 🤔

@deatho0ne587 5 месяцев назад

My bad did not try it, could not inherant or initial work then?

@sknEK_code_chef 5 месяцев назад

awesome video as always! thank you! question: couldn't you have have just used '.nav-list li.active a' as the selector instead of the nth-child route? it would still only be selecting one element, right ?

@donniedamato 5 месяцев назад

Instead of using calc for the top/bottom, set them to 100%. You'll get the same effect with less setup.

@panmrow5009 5 месяцев назад

That's an interesting solution. I always did this kind of stuff with square pseudoelements with radial gradient in the background, centered in one of the corners. I'm sure you know this method, but I'm curious why you didn't do that one. Are there any downsides to it, that I don't know about? 😃

@hristoistoyanov 5 месяцев назад

@EricFressange 5 месяцев назад

Hi Kevin, nice video as always. Next tricky step : use an image or a gradient under the sidebar and active section transparent. I had to do it for a client it's a bit more complex but fun to do. I'm curious to see your solution. And if the client wants the transition for all brothers, it can be done in ajax but it's much more complicated to do 😅

@pneptun 4 месяца назад

@truvc 5 месяцев назад

This convex border radius won’t work if you have a dynamic background. It will work in carefully controlled settings but it’s not robust. I’m working on a library that does let you put inverted rounded corners on elements where they overlap or are contiguous by drawing SVG paths underneath them. It’s fast enough to run on every frame during animations which looks pretty cool. I clicked the thumbnail *because* it has a background image behind the inverted corners. I hoped you had found a better way than I.

video is amazing. Really helped my uni project but i am encountering a strange problem. My navbar is for my profile page and has ofc some elements but they toggle between fieldsets with js. With said script, i add/remove the class actvie bur for some reason, the trasition isnt applied. I can see the transition is being registered by the browser because if i refresh the page, i can see the "switching animation" from the tab i am to the defaul active tab, which is the first nav element.
