This is the initial state of an app we're going to experiment with in the session.
We'll be adding some state management using useState, an API call using useEffect and some basic state sharing using useContext.
Have an explore of the app to make sure you understand the basic structure of the components.
👉 This is a React app created with Create-React-App.
👉 We've added a package called tailwind to simplify the CSS. Tailwind gives us some handy reusable classes just like we talked about in our CSS sessions, which makes component development very fast and consistent.
👉 We've structured the app with a nice tidy App component, and then a Layout we can reuse for different pages when we add new functionality, and split all our components into their own folder.
👉 We've also added a <LoadingIndicator/> using a publicly available npm library called react-spinner-kit. We're not using it yet, but it'll come in useful to make our app look nice once we add some functionality that needs it. (Try importing the <LoadingIndicator/> component in the app somewhere and reloading to have a look at it, if you're curious.)
👀 (You may notice that we haven't added any testing, but this is just a demo..! If this were a real app, we'd definitely be adding our .test.tsx files for each component! 🧪👩🔬)
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
