###This simple front-end app includes a login that:
- launches in browser with
$ npm start - is centered and responsive
- requests a username and password
- checks user credentials against an exposed REST API (server starts at
http://localhost:8080) - alerts the user of failed attempts
- displays backend details on successful login
- uses Redux store to maintain login state (user details and jwt token)
- displays a logout button that deletes user details and jwt token from Redux store
- includes unit tests (enzyme,
$ npm test)
###Challenges Writing unit tests for React components was something new for me. For this reason, I wrote my tests after creating my React components.
Learning to write these tests with enzyme was a fun challenge, and one that I feel halfway successful in accomplishing. I was able to write passing tests for stateless components, but struggled to render and test the component, which is the only component wrapped by the Provider and connected to the Redux store. I ended up removing all code related to this attempt, but certainly plan to keep researching and experimenting until I gain proficiency.
