Pernod Ricard Js Modules

Stack

Background

As a coder, sometimes a project comes along that truly tests the limits of your skills and knowledge. That’s exactly what the Pernod Ricard JavaScript Modules project did for me. It wasn’t just another coding assignment; it was a chance to really flex my technical muscles and apply the best tools in the trade to achieve something impressive.

Pernod Ricard stands out for its meticulous age verification process. It’s not just a formality but a commitment to responsible service. This means implementing a system that’s lightning-fast and super lightweight. Imagine compressing HTML, CSS, JavaScript logic, fonts, and images into a whopping 10kb gzipped package! That’s not just coding; that’s art.

Challenges

The biggest hurdle was ensuring the platform was as lightweight as possible. This was a delicate balancing act between offering 100% flexibility for developers and keeping it user-friendly for non-tech product owners.

Features at a Glance

  • Templates: Each project has a template view for HTML editing and simple SSR JSX logic.
  • Styles: Incorporating custom CSS and CSS Variables, thanks to the innovative Style Mixer (live preview feature for the project).
  • Translations: A sophisticated system targeting specific markets with an in-built error checker to ensure consistency.
  • Assets Management: A straightforward UI for handling fonts and images.
  • Settings: Essential configurations like load timing and on-load actions.
  • Cache Management: Utilizing Cloudflare Workers and R2 Cloudflare storage for script generation, catering to over 300k daily hits.
  • Instant Compilations: HTML and CSS are pre-compiled using esbuild, ensuring sub-500ms compilation times.
  • User Roles and Capabilities: Completely customized for diverse user needs.
  • Legal Compliance: Country-specific legal drinking age rules embedded in each age gate.
  • Cookie Consent Module: A streamlined JS module, reduced from 87kb to an efficient 10kb.
  • Style Mixer: A fun, user-friendly feature enabling non-technical adjustments to styling.
  • GitHub Tracking: Ensuring project consistency and version control, albeit with a slightly messy git log.

Solution

The real challenge was weaving these features into a cohesive, high-performance package. Tailoring a solution that’s not just efficient but also scalable was akin to conducting a high-tech symphony.

I utilized the latest frameworks like Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Cloudflare Workers. These tools were instrumental in achieving the sleek, efficient, and responsive design that was demanded.

Outcome

This project wasn’t just about meeting the goals; it surpassed them in ways I didn’t expect. It’s a clear example of how combining solid technical skills with innovative technology can lead to some pretty impressive results. The Pernod Ricard Js Modules project was a real win in my book, proving that smart use of tools and a bit of creativity can make a big difference in web development.

Working with the latest tech was not just a task, it was an adventure. This project pushed me out of my comfort zone, challenging me to think differently and grow as a developer. It wasn’t just about solving problems; it was about discovering new ways to approach them.

Final Thoughts: This project was a rollercoaster, but the satisfaction of seeing everything come together seamlessly was unparalleled.
