Week 2 – Build Pretty, Code Fast

You're telling me a barb wired this fence?

Getting Started

Make a copy of this template on you or your partner's personal GitHub account.

git checkout -b development

Install packages:

yarn

Finally:

yarn start

and open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

If you're using VSCode, it's recommended to go into settings and set eslint.codeActionsOnSave.mode to all and editor.formatOnSave to true.

Phases

Phase 1 (recommended Sunday) – Put together the stateless UI (just the frontend components so it looks better)

Phase 2 (rec. Tuesday) – Build out custom useForm hook

• React Hook Form is a great example of a pretty well-put-together form hook
  • API
  • Source Code
• This should be able to handle validation
• Use hook to get submit logic working (i.e. console.log form results at the end)

Phase 3 (rec. Wednesday) – Add a button that allows a user to add a new text input to the form with a custom name.

• Think about best way to allow the user to name the input (hint, modal is probably easiest to collect this data).

Requirements

Your form should look like this: link to Figma

Functional Requirements

• If anything was left blank, highlight the input field / component.

Technical Requirements

• Define your custom hook in the provided src/Hooks/useForm.tsx file.

• Your hook should be called like this:

  • const { handleSubmit, register } = useForm();
    
    // some code not shown
    
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(successfulSubmit)}>
    
      <input {...register("name", {optionalArgs: optionalValues})} id="name">
    
    </form>

• Each type of input component should be defined in its own file in src/Components/.

• Chakra UI form inputs instead of plain HTML form inputs.

• Typescript

  • Type each component's props

  • Here's a snippet from our solution, but yours doesn't necessarily have to match exactly:

  • import React from "react";
    
    export interface SelectInputProps {
      placeholder: string;
      options: string[];
      onChange: React.ChangeEventHandler<HTMLElement>;
    };
    
    const SelectInput: React.FC<SelectInputProps> = ({ placeholder, options, onChange }) => {...};
    
    export default SelectInput;

  • Type the return values of your hook (handleSubmit, register) as well.

• Re-renders

  • Your form should not re-render when input is changed.
  • The demo video on the landing of react hook form's website shows how to count the re-renders.
