Building a Load More Button with Vanilla JavaScript | Project Part 14

In this stream I worked on the Practice Layouts project and built the load more logic for the project grid. I started by cleaning up the existing filter behavior, then added a load more button, sliced the data into visible items and worked through how pagination should behave alongside filtered search results. I also talked through how I use AI in my workflow, especially for metadata, prompt writing and understanding architecture before writing code. The big JavaScript problem today was deciding when to paginate data and when to render the full matched results, which led to adding a pagination option to the render function. Topics covered: Cleaning up existing filter logic Adding a load more button Slicing project data for pagination Tracking visible items and page count Disabling or hiding the load more button Keeping filtered results unpaginated Using AI as a coding and planning assistant Planning sidebar work with `reduce` This video is for frontend developers, career changers and anyone practicing HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript in real frontend projects.
