README: Expense Tracker Application

Welcome to the Expense Tracker Application repository. This application is built using React and various custom hooks and components to provide a dynamic user experience for managing personal expenses. The project demonstrates advanced practices in React development, including state management, forms handling, and table interactions. Below, you will find a detailed breakdown of the application's architecture, key functionalities, and how each part contributes to the overall functionality.

Application Overview

The Expense Tracker allows users to add, edit, and delete expense records. It features a reactive form for input, a filterable table to display expenses, and the ability to sort and manage these expenses dynamically.

Key Features

  • Add Expense: Users can input expense details through a reactive form that validates inputs and manages state dynamically.
  • Edit and Delete Expenses: Each expense can be modified or removed directly from the table via actions defined in the table's rows.
  • Filter Expenses: Expenses can be filtered by category using a dropdown selector.
  • Dynamic Table Sorting: The table headers support sorting, allowing users to order their expense records in ascending or descending order based on selected attributes.

Technology Stack

  • React: Used for building the user interface with functional components and hooks.
  • Custom Hooks: useReactiveForm and useTable to handle form states and table operations, respectively.
  • CSS Frameworks: Bootstrap for styling and responsiveness.

Project Structure

  1. Custom Hooks and Utilities

    • useReactiveForm: Manages the form state, validation, and interactions.
