2022 React Bootcamp Capstone Project

Overview

Here you will find all the instructions to complete your Capstone Project.

Goal: Ths project aims to demonstrate your React skills. This is your chance to show off everything you have learned during this program!

You will build and deliver an entire React application on your own from scratch. The project is divided into weekly deliverables, in which you will apply the concepts learned in the assignments and live sessions. Each deliverable has information on what and how we expect you to deliver throughout the Bootcamp.

We hope you find this project challenging and engaging!

The Project

Create an Ecommerce Store where you can buy furniture and home decor items. It should have the following sections:

  • Home Page
  • Product List Page
  • Product Detail Page
  • Search Results Page
  • Shopping Cart Page
  • Checkout Page

We don’t want to limit you or bias your implementation by providing some demo application with a specific design, but instead, ask you to choose your own and build it from scratch. Here’s a link where you can find great ideas and inspiration for your UI design: https://dribbble.com/search/ecommerce

Deliverables

We provide the delivery dates to plan accordingly. Please take this project seriously and try to make progress constantly. If you are struggling with something or get stuck at some point, please schedule a mentoring session to get help on time. Feel free to use the slack channel available.

The following is the list deliverables:

Before you start

Follow these steps before you begin:

  1. Fork this repo into your GitHub account.
  2. Make sure that your new repo is publicly accessible.
  3. Create a new branch with the name “feat/deliverable1” derived from main on your forked repository.
  4. Start working on the requirements specified below.

Requirements

The following is the list of requirements for your deliverable:

  1. Create the UI layout for your app, it should include the following elements:
    • 1.1. A Header containing your Ecommerce Store logo/name, a search input, and a shopping cart icon. For now, all the elements in the header should be disabled, you only need to create the corresponding UI elements without the functionality.

  • Goal: In this assignment, you will continue working on your Ecommerce Store. It should contain the following:
    • Home Page (prototype from previous deliverable)
    • Product List Page (prototype)
  • Related topics: React lifecycle & Hooks

Before you start

Follow these steps before you begin:

  1. Merge your branch from the previous deliverable into main in your own GitHub repo
  2. Create a new branch with the name `feat/deliverable2` derived from main on your repo
  3. Read carefully all the instructions and notes for this deliverable
  4. Start working on the requirements specified below

Requirements

The following is the list of requirements for your deliverable:

  1. Add a button with the text “View all products” below your Featured Products Grid on the Home Page.
  2. Create a new component for your Product List that returns this React element for now: <h1>This is the Product List Page</h1>
  3. Modify your App component to implement a conditional rendering logic to navigate your pages. In this case, you will only need to navigate from Home Page to Product List Page and from Product List Page to Home Page.
  4. Add an event handler to your **View all products ** button so you can navigate to your Product List Page when you click on it.
  5. Test your conditional rendering logic to navigate to the Product List Page. After clicking on the View all products button, you should see the following message “This is the Product List Page” replacing the Home Page.
  6. Add an event handler to your Ecommerce logo in the header so you can navigate to your Home Page when you click on it.
  7. Test your conditional rendering logic to navigate to the Home Page. After clicking on the Ecommerce logo in the header, you should see your Home Page content, replacing the Product List Page.
  8. Modify your Product List Page component to contain the following blocks:
  • 8.1. A Sidebar (left or right side, is up to you), it should contain a list of categories from this mock file. The elements in this list will work as filters for your products, so, you should render the name of each category and attach to it an empty handler for the onClick event.
  • 8.2. A Grid of Products from this mock file. For each element on this grid, you should show at least the main image of the product, its name, category, and price.
  1. Add an event handler to the categories in your sidebar, so when you click on each of them, the products in the grid are filtered. The behavior of this filters should be the following:
  • 9.1. By default, each category filter should be disabled.
  • 9.2. When you click on the category filter for the first time, that filter will be enabled and applied to the product grid.
  • 9.3. When the filter is active/enabled, you should apply some styling to the selected category so, it’s easier to distinguish between active and inactive states.
  • 9.4. You can have multiple filters enabled at the same time, so when this happens, the products that will be shown in the grid should have at least one of the categories from the active filters.
  • 9.5. To disable a filter, you will have to click on it and it should be removed from the active filters.
  1. Add pagination controls to the bottom of your list. For now, you just need to create the UI for these elements, you don’t need to implement the pagination logic on your grid yet.

Notes:

  • You won’t need to implement React Router library to navigate through your pages yet, you will only need to implement some conditional rendering logic to show the component for the page that you want to see.
  • You should implement functional components with hooks
  • Try to keep the use of third-party libraries to the minimum, especially the ones related to the topics covered in our bootcamp. Please don’t use any components library such as Bootstrap or Material UI.
  • We want you to create all of your styles from scratch using the styling techniques learned, you can use any of the following styling approaches: Plain CSS with classnames, CSS pre-processors, CSS Modules, or CSS-in-JS (styled-components, emotion, or any other library), is totally up to you!
  • Please make sure that your UI is responsive and all the elements adapt to different screen sizes (Smartphones, Tablet, and Desktop).
  • Please make sure that no warnings or errors are logged in the browser console.
