Description

Previously, I built a calculator that mimicked the functionality of the Windows 10 calculator app. This previous version was built using vanillia JavaScript, HTML, and CSS (repo here).

After learning React and Material-UI I decided to remake the app using these new technologies. This also gave me the opportunity to practice testing with Jest and React Testing Library.

Production Notes

Days 1 - 3

Front-end complete

Day 4

Succeeded in getting the value of each button to print to the console. This value will be passed to the global store to be distributed to the necessary components later.
Began creating a global data store using custom hooks. Following instructions from React course. To be continued...
Succeeded in setting up the global data store and transmiting data from 'CalculatorButton' element to the 'EquationResultOutput' element.

Day 5

Set up initial store actions to be called.
Set up switch/case logic in 'CalculatorButton.js' to trigger appropriate dispatch actions when calculator buttons are clicked.
Succeeded in transfering logic from old calculator for collecting and building 'operandString' on numbered button clicks.
Began transfer of logic from old calculator for button clicks on +, -, x, /. To be continued...
Succeeded in transfering part of the logic from 'sumSubMultDiv' in old calculator. To be continued...

Day 6

Succeeded in transferring logic from 'sumSubMultDiv'.
Succeeded in transferring logic from 'calculate'.
Implemented useEffect() in the 'EquationResultOutput' component in order to trigger the calculate logic when needed.
Conditionally applied font size to the output of 'EquationResultOutput' component in order to keep large numbers from going outside the appropriate borders.
Added logic to 'EquationResultOutput' and 'EquationOutput' components so they display the appropriate information at the correct time.
ISSUE TO FIX: subsequent presses of the '-' button while chaining operator button equations results in the '-' symbol appearing in front of operand1.

Day 7

Began experimenting with tests.

Back To The Top

Day 8

Added more tests for 'buildOperand' and 'sumSubMultDiv'
Fixed issue with 'EquationOutput' text flashing inbetween state renders when 'Calculate' was activated. Added a useTimeout() to delay the state evaluation.
Began setting up files and test files for equalsLogic, equalsHelperLogic. Going to attempt to build out equals and equalsHelper while using TDD. To be continued...

Day 9

Update #1

Divided the CalculatorButton component up into four more specific components (MiscButton, DisabledButton, NumberButton, OperatorButton) in order to keep each component/logic bundle more concise.

Update #2

Succeeded in transferring logic from 'equalsHelper' while using TDD.
Began transferring logic from 'equals' while using TDD. So far all has been successful. To be continued...

Day 10

Update #1

Succeeded in completing the transfer of logic from 'equals' while using TDD. All tests are passing successfully.
removed previousOperator field from global state object because it is not used.

Update #2

Replaced each occurance of 'curState.propertyName' in all logic files with constants

Update #3

Succeeded in completing the transfer of logic from 'sumSubMultDiv' while using TDD. All tests are passing successfully.
Began re-writing sumSubMultDivLogic.test descriptions to be consistent and more read-able. To Be Continued...

Back To The Top

Day 15

Update #1

Completed full translation of "percent" and "percentHelper" logic. Built tests for "percent". All tests passing successfully.
In the process of making all possible applications of "percent" logic function properly I needed to make edits to the logic in "sumSubMultDivLogic", "percentHelperLogic", and "buildOperandLogic".

Back To The Top

Day 16

Update #1

Fixed spelling mistake. Changed all "equasion" to "equation".

Update #2

Added placeholder text in 'HistoryCardArea'.

Update #3

Added functionality to clear history.

Update #4

Added hover effect to history cards.
Restricted height of HistoryCardArea.

Update #5

Added funtionality to recall history entries by clicking on them.

Day 17

Update #1

Made small edits to some test descriptions.

Update #2

Fixed bug in button combo: ( 0 +/- 1 ). The input of "0" in the "negate" function in "utilityFunctions" was causing "undefined" to be returned. when "1" was pressed "buildOperand" didn't know what to do with the value of "undefined" and crashed the app.

Update #3

Added some constatns to "EquastionResultOutput" and "EquationOutput" to improve readability
Fixed logic in "EquationOutput" to prevent display of a second equals sign when the operator is "=". Before "0 = 0 =" after "0 = 0".

Update #4

Removed a portion of "buildOperandLogic" (and an accompanying test) originally added to solve a display issue. This introduced a logical issue. The logic issue has been fixed. Now I need to solve the display issue.

Update #5

Began redesign of the system that decides what is rendered on screen and when. Ran into a few issues that need to be worked out. To be continued...

Back To The Top

Day 18

Update #1

Fixed logic error where global state data was being changed before historyEntry could be made. Solution: added "historyData" object to "history-store" slice and stored operand1, operand2, and operator into new fields operand1Store, operand2Store, and operatorStore to hold onto these values to give to historyEntry while still allowing calculateLogic to function as designed.
Began refactoring the process for how information is being rendered to the screen. Instead of old IF...THEN... filter checking for truthy or falsy values I added the "render-store" state slice and "renderData" object. Now, throughout the code I explicetly tell the state what to display at every logical turn. This grants me complete control of what is displayed and when. No more IF...THEN... issues.
Need to add new renderData process to "+/-", "%", and "<-" logic.
A bunch of my tests are failing now due to adding fields to my global state. These will need to be corrected and new tests will need to be added.

Update #2

Added new render functionallity to "positiveNegativeLogic".

Update #3

Added new render functionallity to "backspaceLogic".

Update #4

Added new render functionallity to "percentLogic".
Cleaned up un-used code and comments from files.

Update #5

Updated "backspaceLogic.test" to include new history-store and render-store state slices. All tests passing successfully.

Update #6

Updated "buildOperandLogic.test" to include new history-store and render-store state slices. All tests passing successfully.

Day 19

Update #1

Renamed "equationResult" variable in "calculateLogic" to "equationResultVar" to destinguish from "equationResult" field in global state object.
updated tests in "calculateLogic.test" in order to reflect the additions of history slice and render slice to global state.

Update #2

updated tests in "clearFunctionLogic.test" in order to reflect the additions of render slice to global state.

Update #3

updated tests in "decimalLogic.test" in order to reflect the additions of render slice to global state.

Update #4

updated tests in "percentLogic.test" in order to reflect the additions of render slice to global state.

Update #5

updated tests in "positiveNegativeLogic.test" in order to reflect the additions of render slice to global state.

Update #6

updated tests in "sumSubMultDivLogic.test" in order to reflect the additions of render slice to global state.

Update #7

Added functionality so an equation that attempts to divide by zero does not generate a history entry. "runAddEntry" field was added to global state in order to achieve this.
Edited tests in "calculateLogic.test" to reflect this change to global state. All tests passing successfully.

Back To The Top

Day 20

Update #1

Fixed bug where the "renderData" field was not being returned by 'RECALL_ENTRY' action in "history-store". This was preventing the equation and equationResult from being displayed in "EquationOutput" and "EquationResultOutput" components when a "HistoryCard" was clicked.
Moved the useEffect call that dispatches the 'ADD_ENTRY' action from the "EquationResultOutput" component into the "HistoryCardArea" component.

Worked on finding ideal font sizes based on character-length-breakpoints.

Day 25

Update #1

Began implementing breakpoints to keep the text content of 'EquationOutput' and 'EquationResultOutput' inside their respective containers.
'EquationResultOutput' while 'typographySmall' class is applied:
- Completed breakpoint process from smallest screen size to largest.
'EquationResultOutput' while 'typography' class is applied:
- Yet to be done.
Edited the 'md' breakpoint from 960 to 950 in MUI theme object.
