This is the code for the final assessment project for Udacity's React & Redux nano degree.
Clone the repository into your local machine.
# install dependencies
$ npm install
# serve at localhost:3000
$ npm start
The following paragraphs are the original instructions for the project.
At the bottom of the README.md file, you could find the extra features which I added to the project besides the original instructions.
# WARNING
To signin into an already registered account, you should use one of the credentials written inside the `credentials` file (see EXTRA FEATURES below).
The _DATA.js file represents a fake database and methods that let you access the data. The only thing you need to edit in the _DATA.js file is the value of avatarURL. Each user should have an avatar, so you’ll need to add the path to each user’s avatar.
Using the provided starter code, you'll build a React/Redux front end for the application. We recommend using the Create React App to bootstrap the project.
There are two types of objects stored in our database:
- Users
- Questions
Users include:
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | String | The user’s unique identifier |
| name | String | The user’s first name and last name |
| avatarURL | String | The path to the image file |
| questions | Array | A list of ids of the polling questions this user created |
| answers | Object | The object's keys are the ids of each question this user answered. The value of each key is the answer the user selected. It can be either 'optionOne' or 'optionTwo' since each question has two options. |
Questions include:
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | String | The question’s unique identifier |
| author | String | The author’s unique identifier |
| timestamp | String | The time when the question was created |
| optionOne | Object | The first voting option |
| optionTwo | Object | The second voting option |
Voting options are attached to questions. They include:
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| votes | Array | A list that contains the id of each user who voted for that option |
| text | String | The text of the option |
Your code will talk to the database via 4 methods:

Users credentials for login are stored in the credentials.js file.
Througout the project, the user could reset their password by clicking on the “Forgot Password” link.
The user could also sign up for a new account by clicking on the “Sign Up” link. The new user will be able to log in after signing up.
The user can toggle the answered/not answered filters by clicking on the “answered” and “not answered” buttons, located at the top of the page.
These buttons toggle the visibility of the questions (any combinations of “answered“ / “not answered“).
The state of the filters is handled via redux.
Please see filters.js reducer and action for more details.
