What I learned

I learned how to dynamically generate page code based on json data.

To see how you can add code snippets, see below:

_createMarkup() {
    const { title, timeframes } = this.data;

    const id = title.toLowerCase().replace(/ /g, '-');
    const { current, previous } = timeframes[this.view.toLowerCase()];

    this.container.insertAdjacentHTML(
        'beforeend',
        `
    <div class="dashboard__item dashboard__item--${id}">
        <article class="tracking_card">
            <header class="tracking_card__header">
                <h4 class="tracking_card__title">${title}</h4>
                <img class="tracking_card__menu" src="images/icon-ellipsis.svg" alt="menu">
            </header>
            <div class="tracking_card__body">
                <div class="tracking_card__time">
                    ${current}hrs
                </div>
                <div class="tracking_card__prev-period">
                    Last ${DashboardItem.PERIODS[this.view]} - ${previous}hrs
                </div>
            </div>
        </article>
    </div>
    `
    );

    this.time = this.container.querySelector(`.dashboard__item--${id} .tracking_card__time`);
    this.prev = this.container.querySelector(`.dashboard__item--${id} .tracking_card__prev-period`);
}

Continued development

I want to focus on the ability to dynamically change page layout through scripts
