Austen Ipsum generates placeholder text from all or one of Jane Austen's novels. Simply choose how many paragraphs you want to generate and which book to generate it from. Once you press the "Generate" button, the text will display in the box. Click on the "Copy" button to automatically copy the text to your clipboard. You can now paste your text anywhere. Preview coming soon..
Austen Ipsum uses React and Redux. For this particular project, I wanted to familiarize myself with Redux Toolkit. Of course, using Redux is a smidge superfluous for a project as small as this but seeing as I was just starting out, I thought it would be a great way to familiarize myself with Redux without getting too scrambled.
Other npm packages this webapp use:
- Sass (CSS)
- EmailJS (contact form)
- FontAwesome (icons)
- copy-text-to-clipboard
In addition to Austen Ipsum, I also created a JSON generator for the paragraphs of texts from Jane Austen's novels. I wanted to make sure the generator didn't add large, exhaustive paragraphs that aren't practical as placeholder text for designers and developers.
