Simple currency converter built in React.

XRate - React Currency Converter

Create a simple currency conversion app per following rules:

• source currency and amount as well as target currency and amount are editable in real time
• small number of currencies (~4)
• use static dummy data for conversion rates, conversion accuracy is not a priority
• use React
• use state management solution of your choice
• focus on optimal application state shape
• write readable and maintainable code
• add some minimal styling to make the UI concise, not necessarily beautiful

This repo is based off of react-ts-template.

How to run

First, ensure that you have node.js v16.x and pnpm 7.x installed:

node -v
pnpm -v || npm install -g pnpm

Then install packages with pnpm install.

After that, you can run pnpm start to get a hot-reloading preview or pnpm run build to build the app into dist/.

Extra notes

This app supports both dark and light theme based on browser theme (using prefers-color-scheme: dark). Also try swapping the currencies :)
