'Currency converter' is an application built on the React.js library.
It allows for easy and quick currency conversion based on the current exchange rates from the National Bank of Poland (NBP).
The application utilizes the 'fetch' technology to retrieve current currency exchange rates from an external data source.
Thanks to error handling using the 'catch' method, the application can react to situations where data retrieval fails.
In case an error occurs while fetching the current currency exchange rates, the application automatically suggests loading the last saved rates from the local storage.
This allows users to access recently saved rates in the event of connectivity issues with an external source.
Thanks to this, users have access to the recently saved exchange rates despite potential connectivity issues with the external source.
Additionally, the application is responsive, adapting seamlessly to various screen sizes and devices.
