IronContacts

Introduction

After Ironhack, you have decided to work in the movie industry, and you've found a job where you need to manage the contacts of a famous producer.

We are going to create a contact management app with React for this producer.

You can find the starter code in the starter code folder of this GitHub repo.

Submission

Upon completion, run the following commands

git add .
git commit -m "done"
git push origin master

Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.

Installation

$ cd starter-code
$ npm install
$ npm start

Instructions

Iteration 1 | Display 5 Contacts

Let's take a look at the starter code.

Inside src folder, we can find contacts.json, a JSON file with the producer's contacts. Import this file and create an array of the 5 first contacts to use as your initial state.

Display that array of 5 contacts in a <table> and display the picture, name, and popularity of each contact.

To import contacts.json in App.js, you can simply use:

import contacts from './contacts.json'

At the end of this iteration, your application should look like this:

Iteration 2 | Add New Random Contacts

In your application, create a Add Random Contact button so that every time you click on this button, it adds a new random actor.

First, randomly select a contact from the larger contacts array. Then add that contact to the array that lives in your state (that's the previously created array of 5). Don't forget to setState() to cause React to re-render the app.

At the end of this iteration, your website will probably look like this:

Iteration 3 | Sort Contacts By Name And Popularity

The producer asked you to add two new buttons to help them sort their contacts. When you click on one of the buttons, it should sort the table by name (alphabetically) and when you click the other, it should sort by popularity (highest first).

Don't forget to setState() after you sort!

This is what you may have at the end of this iteration:

Iteration 4 | Remove Contacts

The producer also would like to remove some of their contacts. Implement a Delete button on each row of your <table> that will let the user remove the contact they clicked.

When they click, you should get the index of the array of that actor and use it to remove the contact from the array. Don't forget to setState() after you remove the contact!

At the end of this iteration, your app may look like this (after playing a little bit with the Delete button):

Iteration 5 | Bonus | Styling

Unfortunately, this contact list isn't production ready. This is the movie business! It has to sparkle! Add some beautiful CSS to make the app "pop".

Happy coding! ❤️
