Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Create, Read, Update, and Delete comments and replies
• Upvote and downvote comments
• Bonus: Used localStorage to save the current state in the browser that persists when the browser is refreshed.
• Bonus: Instead of using the createdAt strings from the data.json file, I used TimeAgo react component to dynamically track the time since the comment or reply was posted.

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• Vite
• React - JS library

Continued development

I want to learn more about React itself and the how to use reusable components more effectively, and how to also use global/reusable functions across any components. The naming conventions of my components and classes of different elements also need some improvements.

I also want to learn more about fetching data from a server.

Useful resources

• React Time Ago - This helped update the time, the comment was created or edited (How long ago it was created or edited)
