This project is part of the freeCodeBotcamp Front End Development Libraries curriculum as a certification project.
In this project, I practiced some front end technologies, libraries and skills such as using React, SCSS, React hooks, React context, API calls, and other things.
I thought of this project as an oppurtunity to practise SASS/SCSS. I learned how to use variables, nesting, psuedo selectors and psuedo elements.
I used the FontAwesome icons toolkit for free icons. It is an awesome library and the great thing about it that it offers free icons!
I managed to practise the concept of React Context to use shared state between components instead of using props drill. In this project, I used one context to store the random color and another context for the function that generates the random color.
I used React hooks in this project such as useState, useEffect, useContext in addition to custom hooks such as useRandomColor and useRandomColorUpdate.
I used the quotable API by Luke Peavey to fetch random quotes every time the use clicks on the "New quote" button.
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.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
