pseudo element before code example
Example 1: css before after
The ::before and ::after pseudo-elements in CSS allows you to insert content onto a page without it needing to be in the HTML. While the end result is not actually in the DOM, it appears on the page as if it is, and would essentially be like this:
div::before {
content: "before";
}
div::after {
content: "after";
}
<div>
before
<!-- Rest of stuff inside the div -->
after
</div>
The only reasons to use one over the other are:
You want the generated content to come before the element content, positionally.
The ::after content is also “after” in source-order, so it will position on top of ::before if stacked on top of each other naturally.
Example 2: pseudo elements css
psuedo element(An intuitive answer):
keywords added to selectors (which are followed by
colon ':' or double colon '::') which allow to target
specific element (or specific part of element).
example:
you can style the first letter of a paragraph as-> p:first-letter{}
STRONG NOTE: Keep in mind that ::first-line pseudo-element must be applied
to block level (elements which break line on use)
elements in order to take effect.
