About This Project
Engaging in this project introduced me to many new concepts within React. I dove headfirst into the useContext hook and scoured the React documentation to gain what I believe is a working grasp of its uses. In the end, I am happy with the outcome. The goal was to create something purposely generic and minimal, and I believe that’s what I have achieved. You will notice a checkout area if you decide to go through the motions of the website; it does not submit anything, it just clears the cart.
Challenges
This project was at the time the largest react application I'd built, and with that came some challenges: for one, I struggled a bit with sharing state between components and pages. I failed to realize that the concept I was inventing in my head and almost in my code already existed in the form of useContext. Once that was out of the way, I found some difficulty in positioning certain elements exactly where I wanted them so they looked presentable both on desktop and mobile, but a few Tailwind size adjustments sorted that out.
