Your goal is to implement a number of user settings for our application using state to allow users to change the appearance of the application.
In App, you'll find a button that says "Switch to List View"
When this button is clicked, the view should change from a card view into a list view. The text on the button should also change to "Switch to Card View"
We've provided you with anArticleItem component - inspect its props and figure out how to render it in place of ArticleCard. In addition, for styling, we've provided list and cards CSS classes - find cards in App and try switching it to list to see what it does. How could you make the CSS className switch along with state?
Clicking the button again should switch the view back.
In App, you'll find a button that says "Switch to Dark Mode"
When this button is clicked, the view should change to a dark theme. The text on the button should also change to "Switch to Light View"
We've provided a CSS class called dark. Look through all of the code that's already in place for the light className. Try replacing them with dark and see how the style of the application changes. Consider how you might allow state to control which style to apply.
- What state will you need? What data types will they hold?
- Where does state need to be? Which components need access to this data?
- How can we use state in coordination with conditional rendering to allow the user the control what appears on the page?
When clicking on a ArticleItem, display additional details (e.g. author, description). Clicking on the same ArticleItem will close the additional details. Any number of ArticleItems can be open at the same time.
Consider where state should live and what data type would best express whether the details are showing or not. Why does state live there? Why did you choose the data type you chose?
When clicking on an ArticleItem display additional details. When another ArticleItem is clicked, the previous ArticleItem should close its details and open for the most recently clicked one. Basically, only one can be open at a time.
Consider where state should live and how you keep track of which ArticleItem was clicked. Why does state live there? How is this different from the previous bonus?
