React Routing Lab

In this lab you will add routing to an animal hospital's website using React Router.

Example of a completed application.


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.

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

  4. Deploy this application to Netlify and add the link to your netlify site below:

Instructions

The general functionality of the page already exists. Unfortunately, the contents of three different pages are all dumped on the main page!

You will need to add routing for the page. To complete this lab, you will need to create the following routes:

  • /: When going to the index, you should see the Home component, alongside the Nav and Footer.
  • /staff: When going to the Staff page route, you should see the StaffList component, alongside the Nav and Footer.
  • /pets: When going to the Pets page route, you should be redirected to /pets/cats.
    • /pets/cats: When going to the Cats page route, you should see the PetsList component, alongside the Nav and Footer. You should only be shown cats.
    • /pets/dogs: When going to the Dogs page route, you should see the PetsList component, alongside the Nav and Footer. You should only be shown dogs.

Additionally, the following links and buttons should have some effects.

  • The Nav contains three links. Update the links so that they work with React router.
    • Northwest Animal Hospital - should link to /
    • All Staff - should link to /staff
    • All Pets - should link to /pets
  • The PetsList contains two links: "See All Cats" and "See All Dogs". Clicking either link should send the person to the appropriate route and change the displayed list.

By doing the above, all of the tests should pass as opposed to just a few.

Data for this lab

There are no API calls in this Lab. This is so that you can focus on routing as opposed to networking.

All of the data is contained inside of the src/data folder and is imported inside of App.js.

Views

/staff

staff page

/cats

cats page

/dogs

dogs page

Tips

The following tips may help you as you're working on this project:

  • Remember that you will need to import React Router-specific elements by importing from "react-router-dom".
  • Remember that a elements should not be used with React Router. Instead, use Link components.
  • The /pets page allows for a nested view. The sidebar with the links to see all cats and dogs should remain on the page while the inner piece of the page should change depending on the route.
  • Use the documentation
  • Look into wildcards for the nested cat and dog routes

Stretch

  • Work on styling

    • Create a sticky footer: No matter the height of the rest of the elements the footer is always, at minimum, at the bottom or below.
    • Make the pages responsive
  • Make a 404 page

    • if someone goes to/pets/birds it goes to a custom Not Found view
  • Create a new page New Pet - that has a form that will allow you to add a new pet and see it appear in one of the lists

  • Create a new pagew New Staff that has a form that will allow you to add a new staff memeber and see it appear in the staff list

  • Make pages and views for owners (look at the data in the data folder in /src)

  • Allow sorting of dog/cats by name or breed
