Design inspiration is from dribbble

📈 D3.js

I added charts to various pages:

✅ First, with market cards that show different financial instrument data and their chart.

✅ Secondly, in market details page. The one in market details page is also responsive and can show different time frames.

🔬 Testing

I tested the app with Jest, Enzyme, Moxios and Redux Mock Store. For testing styled components, I used React-Test-Renderer and Jest-Styled-Components. After 309 tests, app has 92% line coverage.

Environment Variables

NEWS_API_KEY: News API key is from NewYorkTimes API, more information about how to get started with their API can be found in their documentation.

CHART_KEY: Chart key is from financialModelingPrep API.

API_URL: URL for the API I created for the project (e.g. to help users login, save symbols). Because of the hosting issues with Heroku, I decided to host my APIs in fly.io and make the URL as a variable for future inconveniences.
