HogWild: The React app for fans of prize-winning pigs

React Week 1 Project

Deliverables

When the app first loads, display a tile for each hog in the porker_data.js file. In the tile, display the name and image for each hog.
When the user clicks on the hog tile, display the other details about the hog (its specialty, weight, greased, and highest medal achieved)
Allow the user to filter the hogs that are greased
Allow the user to sort the hogs based on name or weight
BONUS: Allow users to hide hogs (not delete them, just hide them from view!)
BONUS: Add a form to allow users to add new hogs to the page
BONUS: Implement Semantic Cards for each hog

Project Guidelines

Follow React best practices to create components and decide where state needs to live
Pass props down from parent components to children
Use inverse data flow and callback functions to pass data up from child components to parents
Re-render components by setting state

What we have so far

A file containing all our hog data (./src/porkers_data.js) imported into App.js
A <Nav> component rendered in our App.js

Trying to figure out where to start?

There are lots of ways to build this project, and while some ways are better than others, there is no 'right' way! Start by wireframing what you want the app to look like and breaking it up into components.

One good model to follow for this is Thinking in React.

Once you've decided on your components, use the MVP (minimum viable product) approach. What's the simplest thing we can render to the page? Perhaps a paragraph tag displaying each hog's name? Which components would this involve?

When building your filter and sort functionalities, consider what you want to store in state and where that state should be stored. How can a child component pass information up to its parent component? Think about what needs to happen upon each index rerender. What if a user filters out un-greased pigs, and then wants the remaining pigs sorted by weight?

Be sure to use good programming practices, such as clear variable names and single responsibility functions. React apps can quickly become tangled and hard to debug if built without best practices!

Styling

We've imported the Semantic CSS library to keep your piggies looking pretty. To keep your hogs in columns, make sure their parent container has the class "ui grid container". The children in the columns should have class "ui eight wide column". (Semantic uses a grid with a default of 16 units wide, so 8-wide will make two columns and 4-wide will make 4 columns.)

Semantic will take care of assigning the columns for you. You can also try implementing Semantic Cards for each hog.
