Multi View React Web App

Multi-view Website with React

Technologies: HTML, CSS, JS, React, react-router, react context.

Enough with the landing pages and single view projects, it is time to build our first web app.

This is a collaborative project, the class will be separated in groups and each will create a piece of a multi-view website.

🌱 How to start this project

Do not clone this repository.

1. The first step to start coding is cloning the React.js FLUX boilerplate on your local computer or opening it using gitpod.

a) If using Gitpod (recommended) you can clone the boilerplate by clicking here.

b) If working locally type the following command from your command line: git clone https://github.com/4GeeksAcademy/react-hello-webapp.

💡 Remember to create a new repository, update the remote (git remote set-url origin <your new url>), and upload the code to your new repository using add, commit and push.

1. Invite the other students as collaborators.

2. All the students clone the repository.

3. Divide the project workload in pieces and each group start working on its piece, 2 or max 3 people per group.

4. Install the dependencies $ npm install

5. Start the WebPack development server: $ npm run start

Done!

Pieces/Groups:

• NavBar/Footer/Login View (Session) | https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/carousel/ & https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/sign-in/
• Landing Page with Carousel (Products and Posts) | https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/carousel/
• Blog/Post View (Posts) | https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/blog/
• Store/Checkout (Products) | https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/product/ & https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/checkout/

This project is meant to be done in two phases

Phase 1: set the views. React Router.

Each group will have to create the corresponding view component with dummy content (initially) and as many "smaller" components as needed.

Note: Think DRY (Don't repeat yourself) and declare only one component and use props to handle different content.

Phase 2: make the app dynamic. React Context.

Each group must use the Consumer given by the instructor in order to use the store to fill the content of the pieces:

• Navbar: must show the user's username and picture (assume the user is logged in).
• Login: show the login form.
• Landing Page: must show 3 posts in the carousel, 3 posts in a grid and 3 products in the products section.
• Blog: must show 6 blog posts
• Post View: must show clicked post details.

Using the Context

The store structure:

1store = {
2    posts:[
3        {
4            title: 'This is a World Post',

In order to have access to the global data, you'll have to import the context's main file:

1import {Context} from '/path/to/store/appContext.jsx';
2
3const MyView = () => {
4    const { actions, store } = useContext(Context);
5    //Then use the Consumer anywhere on the component
6    return (<span> hello, {store.session.username} </span>);
7}

Hint: you can see an example of the Context.Consumer in action at:

1demo.jsx
2 - demoList.jsx
3 - demoProducts.jsx
