Intern Application

This project is meant to be a creative, open-ended exploration of React as a way to gauge an applicant's understanding of and willingness to experiment with modern frontend development.

Goals

What we're looking for:

Basic understanding of React fundamentals
Willingness to research and/or learn by reading code
Willingness to ask questions when stuck
Willingness to receive feedback
Ability to follow directions
Clean, consistent code

What we're not looking for:

Perfection
Whether you favor tabs or spaces (or other arbitrary style preferences)
A full-fledged product
Flawless design

We understand that this is for an internship position and don't expect the same kind of code that a senior developer might write. So while this project is untimed, don't spend a sunny weekend inside hacking away trying to make everything perfect; work on it until you get bored and send it on back.

Bootstrapping

This project was scaffolded with Create React App, so it follows many of the CRA conventions.

Fork this project to your own Github account.
Clone the project to your computer.
Run npm install or yarn install from the project root folder to install dependencies.
Run npm start or yarn start to start the CRA development server.

Instructions

We have two custom components in this project - Parent (/src/Parent.js) and Child (/src/Child.js). Parent manages some state and passes that state to the Child component as props. The goal of this assignment is to use some or all of the props to customize the Child component. It can be anything - as serious or weird as you want.

Modify Child.js and Child.css to create your component.
Commit and push as you work.
When finished, email a link to your forked project on Github.

Props

Child is given these props:

blink: a boolean that alternates between true/false about every second.
color: a string that represents a color. It starts as the hex code for the color "steelblue".
setColor: a callback function that sets the "color" state.
