• Clone this repo

$ cd lab-wiki-countries
$ npm install
$ npm start

Submission

• Upon completion, run the following commands:

  git add .
  git commit -m "done"

Instructions

Iteration 0 | React Router installation

Don't forget to install the React Router:

$ npm install react-router-dom

And setup the router in your src/index.js file:

// src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';

import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
  <BrowserRouter>
    <App />
  </BrowserRouter>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

// If you want your app to work offline and load faster, you can change
// unregister() to register() below. Note this comes with some pitfalls.
// Learn more about service workers: http://bit.ly/CRA-PWA
serviceWorker.unregister();

Bootstrap installation

We will use Bootstrap V4 for the design 👍

$ npm install bootstrap

// src/index.js
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

Instructions

Iteration 1 | Create components

In this iteration, we will focus on general layout. Before you start, inside src folder, create components folder. There you will create at least 2 components:

• CountriesList: For the general layout
• CountryDetail: This is the component that will receive the country code (cca3) in the URL. This is actually the id of the country (example: /ESP for Spain, /FRA for France).

To help you, we gave you an example of a page inside example.html.

If you want to style it, refresh your memory on Bootstrap in the docs or check out how we approached to styling in the example.html.

For Windows users, there is no emoji for the flag. Instead, you can rely on these links:

• France: https://www.countryflags.io/fr/flat/64.png
• Germany: https://www.countryflags.io/de/flat/64.png
• Etc.

Iteration 2 | Create the entire application

Everything is in the title. Good luck 😄

In this case, you should use only 1 <Route /> for CountryDetail.

Your App component should always show the list of countries.

Happy coding! ❤️
