Putting it All Together: State and Events

Learning Goals

  • Use state and events to make components dynamic
  • Implement controlled components

Introduction

To build on what you've learned over the course of this section, we'll be building out a simple task list app to practice working with state and events, focusing in particular on working with arrays.

Deliverables

There is some starter code built out for all of the components you'll need. The data for the application is imported in App, so you'll need to pass that data down to the components that need it as props.

Run npm install and npm start, then check out the starter code in the browser. You'll see a console message with the TASK and CATEGORY data you'll need to pass down from App.

TaskList

First, we'll want to display all the tasks in our app. Pass down the task data from App to TaskList, and display each task using the Task component. Make sure to use a key prop!

Task

Update the Task component so that it shows the task's text and category.

When the delete button is clicked, the task should be removed from the list.

CategoryFilter

Pass the list of categories to this component from App. Then, update this component to display <button> elements for each category (again, make sure to use a key prop).

When a button is clicked, the following should happen:

  • Whichever button was clicked should have a class of selected. The other buttons should not have any class assigned.
  • The list of tasks being displayed should be filtered, so that only tasks that match the category that was clicked are displayed.
  • If the button for "All" is selected, all the tasks should be displayed.

NewTaskForm

Pass the list of categories to this component from App. Then, update this component to display <option> elements for each category inside of the <select> element except the "All" category, so that the user can select a category when adding a new task.

Next, update this form to be a controlled component, so that all form inputs are captured in state.

When the form is submitted, add a new task to the list with the text and category from the form. For the tests for this feature to pass, you'll need a callback prop named onTaskFormSubmit that takes a task object as an argument.
