React Props Lab

Pass props through multiple components to build a mockup of a "FundMe"-type website.

Image of completed application.


Lab Setup

Getting started

  1. Fork and clone this repository.

  2. Navigate to the cloned repository's directory on your command line. Then, run the following command:

    npm install
    

    This will install the libraries needed to run the tests.

  3. Open up the repository in VSCode. Follow the instructions below to complete the Lab.

Tests

To run the tests, you can run the following command from the command line. You will need to be in the root directory of your local directory.

npm test

This will open the Cypress testing window, where you can click to run an individual suite of tests or all of the tests at once.

Testing Tips

Keep the following in mind for this lab as you run the tests.

  1. While running your tests, you must have a server up and running in another terminal. This means you will have both a terminal window running the actual React application and a terminal window running the tests.

  2. When creating a component, make sure to create and import it with the same name as the file name. For example, the component created and exported inside of the Post.js file should be Post. The tests look for these specific names.

  3. While the cypress-watch-and-reload package has been installed in this project, sometimes the React application will take longer to reload than the tests. If you feel as though a test should be passing that isn't, try pressing the re-run button in the Cypress tests before asking for help.

Instructions

Inside of the App.js file are two variables which will serve as props for your application:

  1. targetAmount: A number, in dollars, that represents the total amount of money attempting to be raised.

  2. donations: An array of objects, where each object represents a donation.

Create each component in the Components/ directory and pass props from the App component to each of the components to create the mockup as seen above. HTML snippets for each component is included below.

Components

Each of the components below must be completed and must make use of props. A "hardcoded" HTML snippet is included below so that you can focus on passing props as opposed to creating HTML. Do not just copy and paste the HTML into the component and update the text. While this may pass the tests, it does not demonstrate you know anything about props.

DonationForm

For the donation form, you will need to update the sentence "You could be donation #1!" so that instead of being hardcoded to the number 1, it is set to a number one above the actual number of donations.

<section className="donation">
  <h3>You could be donation <span className="secondary">#1!</span></h3>
  <form>
    <label htmlFor="name"
      >Name<input
        id="name"
        name="name"
        type="text"
        placeholder="Your name..." /></label
    ><label htmlFor="caption"
      >Caption<input
        id="caption"
        name="caption"
        type="text"
        placeholder="Add a brief message..." /></label
    ><label htmlFor="amount"
      >Amount<input
        id="amount"
        name="amount"
        type="number"
        placeholder="0" /></label
    ><button>Donate!</button>
  </form>
</section>

Progress

For the progress section, you will need to replace the value $0 with a dynamic value based on the donations.

<section className="progress">
  <h2>
    Raised <span className="secondary">$0</span> of
    <span className="secondary">$1000</span>
  </h2>
</section>

Recent Donations

For the recent donations section, you will need to have a number of li elements equal to the number of donations. Each li should include the person who donated, the amount, and their caption.

<section>
  <h2>Recent Donations</h2>
  <ul>
    <li><span>Jo donated $25</span>You really need this. Really.</li>
    <li><span>Rami donated $10</span>Here, take a break from work!</li>
    <!-- etc... -->
  </ul>
</section>
