HTML and CSS Project for Beginners

After a week of memorizing HTML and CSS tags, I decided to apply what I learnt. So I've built a TikTok Clone using HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript. If you're a beginner in HTML and CSS, this is the perfect blog for you!

HTML:

<body>
    <div class="app__videos">
      <!-- video starts -->
      <div class="video">
        <video class="video__player" src="video1.mp4"></video>

        <!-- sidebar -->
        <div class="videoSidebar">
          <div class="videoSidebar__button">
            <span class="material-icons"> favorite_border </span>
            <p>12</p>
          </div>

          <div class="videoSidebar__button">
            <span class="material-icons"> message </span>
            <p>23</p>
          </div>

          <div class="videoSidebar__button">
            <span class="material-icons"> share </span>
            <p>75</p>
          </div>
        </div>

        <!-- footer -->
        <div class="videoFooter">
          <div class="videoFooter__text">
            <h3>Harinivas P</h3>
            <p class="videoFooter__description">Best Video Ever</p>

            <div class="videoFooter__ticker">
              <span class="material-icons videoFooter__icon"> music_note </span>
              <marquee>Song name</marquee>
            </div>
          </div>
          <img
            src="https://static.thenounproject.com/png/934821-200.png"
            alt=""
            class="videoFooter__record"
          />
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- video ends -->

      <!-- video starts -->
      <div class="video">
        <video class="video__player" src="video2.mp4"></video>

        <!-- sidebar -->
        <div class="videoSidebar">
          <div class="videoSidebar__button">
            <span class="material-icons"> favorite_border </span>
            <p>12</p>
          </div>

          <div class="videoSidebar__button">
            <span class="material-icons"> message </span>
            <p>23</p>
          </div>

          <div class="videoSidebar__button">
            <span class="material-icons"> share </span>
            <p>75</p>
          </div>
        </div>

        <!-- footer -->
        <div class="videoFooter">
          <div class="videoFooter__text">
            <h3>Harinivas P</h3>
            <p class="videoFooter__description">Best Video Ever</p>

            <div class="videoFooter__ticker">
              <span class="material-icons videoFooter__icon"> music_note </span>
              <marquee>Song name</marquee>
            </div>
          </div>
          <img
            src="https://static.thenounproject.com/png/934821-200.png"
            alt=""
            class="videoFooter__record"
          />
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- video ends -->
    </div>

    <script>
      const videos = document.querySelectorAll('video');

      for (const video of videos) {
        video.addEventListener('click', function () {
          console.log('clicked');
          if (video.paused) {
            video.play();
          } else {
            video.pause();
          }
        });
      }
    </script>
  </body>

CSS:

* {
    margin: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }

  html {
    scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
  }

  body {
    color: white;
    background-color: black;
    height: 100vh;
    display: grid;
    place-items: center;
  }

  .app__videos {
    position: relative;
    height: 750px;
    background-color: white;
    overflow: scroll;
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 400px;
    scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
    border-radius: 20px;
  }

  .app__videos::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
  }

  .app__videos {
    -ms-overflow-style: none;
    scrollbar-width: none;
  }

  .video {
    position: relative;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: white;
    scroll-snap-align: start;
  }

  .video__player {
    object-fit: cover;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
  }

  .videoSidebar {
    position: absolute;
    top: 48%;
    right: 10px;
  }

  .videoSidebar .material-icons {
    font-size: 28px;
    cursor: pointer;
  }

  .videoSidebar__button {
    padding: 20px;
    text-align: center;
  }

  .videoFooter {
    position: relative;
    bottom: 150px;
    margin-left: 20px;
    color: white;
    display: flex;
  }

  @keyframes spinTheRecord {
    from {
      transform: rotate(0deg);
    }
    to {
      transform: rotate(360deg);
    }
  }

  .videoFooter__record {
    animation: spinTheRecord infinite 5s linear;
    height: 50px;
    filter: invert(1);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 20px;
  }

  .videoFooter__text {
    flex: 1;
  }

  .videoFooter__text h3 {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
  }

  .videoFooter__icon {
    position: absolute;
  }

  .videoFooter__ticker {
    width: 400px;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
  }

  .videoFooter__ticker marquee {
    height: fit-content;
    margin-left: 30px;
    width: 60%;
  }

  .videoFooter__description {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
  }

  @media (max-width: 425px) {
    .app__videos {
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
      max-width: 100%;
      border-radius: 0;
    }
  }

The Result will look like this: (I couldn't take the full pic. The edges will look curved in the actual result.)

The code might look difficult. But go through it with patience and you will surely understand it. More fun projects to come:)
