React Project
Before I began my React journey I had expected it to be familiar, since we did work on JavaScript right before, but I was wrong. With React I feel like you could do so much more and build a website so grand with minimum amount of effort compared to JS.
For my project I built a review page for anime based shows, movies and video games. On each of the pages there is a dropdown with the names and a <form /> where users can leave a review.I want to say this was a very challenging project for me, but along the way I learned a lot. Bootstrap libraries were one of the cool things I learned at the very last minute that will save everyone so much time basically importing styles for your webpage that are pre-made for you, instead of creating your own css file.
A challenging part of my project would have to be my writeReview component where users are allowed to leave a review on one of the options they chose. I was having troubles with handling events and printing the users review on the webpage. My writeReview component started to become overcrowded, I was doing a lot in that one component that could’ve been dispersed or in its own component.
Overall I think with React shouldn’t be looked at as “difficult”, with a lot of great resources online and importing the right tools, building an amazing webpage shouldn’t be as challenging and .
