Applied JavaScript Sprint Challenge

Read these instructions carefully. Understand exactly what is expected before starting this Sprint Challenge.

This challenge allows you to practice the concepts and techniques learned over the past sprint and apply them in a concrete project. This sprint explored Applied JavaScript. During this sprint, you studied DOM and components. In this challenge you will demonstrate your mastery of these skills by creating an online Bloomtech newspaper.

This is an individual assessment. All work must be your own. Your challenge score is a measure of your ability to work independently using the material covered through this sprint. You need to demonstrate proficiency in the concepts and objectives introduced and practiced in preceding sprint.

You are not allowed to collaborate during the sprint challenge.

Project Set Up

Create a forked copy of this project
Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not BloomTech's by mistake!)
Implement the project on the main branch, committing changes regularly
Push commits: git push origin main

Project Instructions

Introduction

You are going to create a Bloomtech Newspaper. Your job is going to be to create the components that make up the newspaper's home page.

In meeting the minimum viable product (MVP) specifications listed below, your project should look similar to the image linked below:

Bloomtech Times

Instructions

[x ] Navigate to the root of the project with your command line.
[ x] Run npm install to download the dependencies listed in the package.json file.
[ x] Run npm start to compile the project and serve it.
[ x] Navigate Chrome to http://localhost:3000
[ x] In a separate terminal, run npm test to run tests.

Steps Required for MVP:

Steps 1 and 2 are explained inside the src/components/header.js file.
Steps 3 and 4 are explained inside the src/components/tabs.js file.
Steps 5 and 6 are explained inside the src/components/card.js file.

Important Notes:

Please do not move or rename existing files or folders.
If your development server stops "auto reloading", manually kill it with CTRL+C and restart it.
Do not change the package.json file except to install libraries with NPM (Axios is already in the package.json).
In your solution, it is essential that you follow best practices and produce clean and professional results.
Schedule time to review, refine, and polish your work, including spell-checking and grammar-checking.
It is better to submit a challenge that meets MVP than one that attempts too much and does not.

Submission format

Submit via Codegrade by committing and pushing any new changes to the main branch.
