Project Overview

The Victor Project is built using React, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It demonstrates the use of reusable components, API integration, and unit testing.

Project Structure

The project structure is as follows:

• The public directory contains the HTML template file for the React application.
• The src directory contains the source code of the React application.
  • The components directory holds reusable components, including the BlogGrid component responsible for rendering the blog posts.
  • The services directory contains the API service file api.ts that handles fetching the blog posts.
  • The __tests__ directory contains test files, including the BlogGrid.test.tsx file for testing the BlogGrid component.
  • The index.tsx file is the entry point of the application.
• The .babelrc file configures Babel presets for transpiling modern JavaScript syntax to a compatible version.
• The .gitignore file specifies which files and directories should be ignored by Git version control.
• The package.json file lists the project dependencies and provides scripts for running, testing, and building the application.
• The README.md file (this file) provides an overview of the project, its structure, and instructions.

Decisions Made

In this project, the following decisions were made:

1. React: React was chosen as the framework for building the application due to its component-based architecture and efficient rendering.

2. Testing: The project uses the Jest testing framework for unit testing React components and functions. However, there is an issue with the BlogGrid.test.tsx file, which is currently failing due to unexpected syntax. If we had more time, we would investigate and fix this issue to ensure all tests are passing.

Future Improvements

If we had more time to work on this project, we would consider the following improvements:

1. Fixing Tests: Currently, the BlogGrid.test.tsx test file has an issue with unexpected syntax. We would investigate and fix this issue to ensure all tests are passing.

2. Enhanced Styling: The project currently focuses on functionality rather than visual design. We would improve the styling of the components to provide a more visually appealing and user-friendly experience.

3. Pagination: If the number of blog posts grows significantly, implementing pagination would be beneficial to enhance performance and user experience.

4. Error Handling: We would implement proper error handling in the API service and component to display error messages to the user in case of failed requests.

5. Responsive Design: We would make the application responsive to ensure it works well on various devices and screen sizes.
