Requirement: Application Footer Component

Overview

This document outlines the requirements for creating an application-wide footer component that will appear at the bottom of every page in the application. The footer will display copyright information and branding for "learnBYdoing" while adapting to the application's current theme.

Requirements

Technical Requirements

  • Create the Footer component in src/common/components/Footer/Footer.tsx with accompanying test file src/common/components/Footer/Footer.test.tsx
  • Utilize the ThemeProvider context to access and adapt to the current theme
  • Implement styling using Tailwind CSS utility classes
  • Ensure the component is fully accessible according to WCAG standards
  • Ensure the component is fully responsive across all device sizes
  • Incorporate the footer into the main application layout to ensure it appears consistently across all pages
  • Generate the copyright year dynamically to always display the current year

Dependencies

  • ThemeProvider for theme-aware styling
  • Tailwind CSS for utility-based styling

User Experience / Design

Visual Design

  • The footer should span the full width of the application
  • Content should be centered both horizontally and vertically within the footer
  • The footer should maintain a consistent height across all pages
  • Apply appropriate padding and margins for visual balance
  • Style should adapt based on the current application theme (light/dark mode)

Content

  • Display the current year in the copyright notice (e.g., "© 2025 learnBYdoing")

    • Colors and contrast meet accessibility standards in both light and dark themes

  4. Accessibility

    • Footer meets WCAG accessibility standards
    • Component passes automated accessibility testing

  5. Technical Implementation

    • Component is properly organized in the common components directory
