Introduction

This is a code repository for the corresponding article on freeCodeCamp.

In this tutorial we are going to build a YouTube Clone Application from Scratch using React. This project is great for learning React because is covers a lot of concepts that appear often in ReactJS workflow.

Setup:

  • move a copy of .env.sample to .env and paste your API-key
  • run npm i && npm start to start the development server

Covered topics:

  • project structure
  • destructuring
  • state management (with hooks)
  • passing props
  • API calls

Suggested improvements:

  • you should use Material-UIs makeStyles() hook instead of styles-prop to style your components
  • implement mobile friendly UI
