What I learned

I'm really proud of this implementation of SVG icons as components. It made it kind of easy to apply them on the component.

const ICONS = {
  dollar: <Dollar />,
  person: <Person />,
};

<div className="input__icon-container">{ICONS[icon]}</div>;

Continued development

I'm planning on continuosly working on writing cleaner and more optimal code.

Useful resources
