Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Explain the steps in creating a new Card from the form.	When the user alters the form, a change event is recorded and the state of that form field gets updated. When the submit button is pressed, the information is passed from the form component to the board using a callback function that was sent from the board to the form as a prop. The callback calls a method for adding the card, which is an axios POST request to the API.
How did you learn how to use the API?	I read the provided API documentation and used Postman results to understand better the structure of information being returned.
What function did you use to place the GET request from the API to get the list of cards? Why use that function?	I followed what we did for pets and placed the GET request within componentDidMount lifecycle method. Since API calls can take longer, it loads the board component first and then makes the requests.
Explain the purpose of a Snapshot test.	It compare the html of the snapshot against any subsequent changes. This allows us to verify that our changes haven't broken anything.
What purpose does Enzyme serve in testing a React app?	It lets us create snapshots when all the important components are in place, to compare against future code changes
