Spotlight Open Source & Using Documentation

Getting Started

Use this template to get started with this deliverable.

Description

The purpose of this week's spotlight is to introduce you to using open-source libraries. In this lesson we'll learn how to assess open-source projects for use in your application and how to use documentation and quick-start guides to get a quick sense of how to use the library and whether or not it is appropriate for your project.

Table Libraries

• R-Suite Tables
• React Bootstrap Table
• React Base Table

Chart Libraries

• Victory Chart
• Recharts
• Charts.js

Component/CSS Libraries

• MUI
• React Bootstrap
• Bulma (not a component library -- just CSS)
• Tailwind

Acceptance Criteria

• One chart displaying at the /charts route
• User data displayed at the /tables route
• A CSS library layout and / or custom components implemented
• A reflection of the process -- please write at least one paragraph reflecting on implementing open-source libaries in your app. Was it easier or harder than you expected? Did it take you a few attempts to find the right library? Did anything surprise you?
