Features

• Interactive graph window
• Enter custom medication start/end date, dose, and half-life
• Input validation to ensure user enters correct values
• Equations are automatically calculated after user enters data

Future Features

• Include search bar for medication half-lives

What I Learned

• Adding .addEventListener("input", function) to an input and setAttribute("min", value) can be used to set the minimum date for a date input based on another date input (to ensure end date is after start date)
• Data inputs are not easily formatted
• const date = new Date(input.value) can be used to get date values from form
• date2.getTime() - date1.getTime() can be used to find the time difference between two dates (the result must be converted from milliseconds to days)
• During input validation, nesting can be prevented by returning rather than using an if/else structure
