React Effect with Fetch

Learning Objectives

• Explain the method signature of React’s effect hook
• Build a component with an effect hook that requests data from an API only on component mounting
• Build a component that has a state and an effect hook
• Build a component with an effect hook that watches for changes to a given value and triggers the effect
• Build a component that is passed data via props with an effect hook that watches for changes to a props value

Set up

1. Fork this repository
2. Clone the forked repository onto your local machines
3. In the root directory, type npm ci, which installs dependencies for the project
4. Finally, type npm run dev, which starts a development server that runs your website in the browser.

Instructions

The aim of the exercise is to practice fetching data and rendering lists.

Your goal is to build an app which looks something like this:

In the sections folder you will find three sections (contained in sub-folders) to complete for this exercise. You have Art, Users and Advice.

Inside each sub-folder you will find:

• an index.jsx file for the logic of each section build everything here and then break it down into components
• a template.html that shows you an example of what your React components should create. Take note of className to get the styling working.
• a components folder with suggested components to create so you can practice props.

For each section you will need to make a fetch request using the following APIs:

• Art - https://boolean-api-server.fly.dev/art
  • Note: Combine the base URL with an artworks "imageURL" property to form a complete URL to an image ( e.g. https://boolean-api-server.fly.dev/images/self-portrait.jpg )
• Users - https://boolean-api-server.fly.dev/api-docs/#/contact/getAllContacts
  • Note: The API URL looks like https://boolean-api-server.fly.dev/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/contact - replace YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME with your actual github username
• Advice - https://api.adviceslip.com/

Core Deliverables

The Art list should render:

• An image of the artwork
• The title of the artwork
• The artist's name
• The complete publication history as an unordered list

The Users list should render:

• A profile image
• The full name of the user
• The background colour of each list item should be set the the person's favourite colour
• The email of the user

The Advice section is for the Extension only.

Extension 1

The Advice slip section should render:

• A single random advice slip
• A list of favourtie advice slips

The Advice slip section should allow users to:

• Fetch another advice slip using a button
• Save an advice slip to favourites using a button
