Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Explain the steps in creating a new Card from the form.	1) create an object that has the data collected from the form (this is saved in the state of the form) 2) pass this object to the function (addCard function) that does the addition of the card to the board and API 3) the addCard function makes a POST request by passing the URL that post data and the object to be posted. If the POST request was successful, it will add an ID to the new card, and it will push the card to the current state of the board. If it was not successful, it will update the current state errorMessages will the error received from the request.
How did you learn how to use the API?	I learned to use the API by reading the documentation and testing my assumptions in Postman.
What function did you use to place the GET request from the API to get the list of cards? Why use that function?	I used the componentDidMount() function because it is invoked immediately after a component is mounted (inserted into the tree).
Explain the purpose of a Snapshot test.	The purpose of Snapshot test is to prevent you from accidentally breaking code that was working before.
What purpose does Enzyme serve in testing a React app?	It is a library that provides more convenient testing syntax, as well as some advanced functionality making it easier to manipulate, traverse and make assertions on our React components. We used Enzyme's shallow and mount function to create the snapshot.

You don't seem to be displaying this error message anywhere.

This should be:

        newCard.id = myNewCard.card.id

This actually causes new cards added to the board to be unable to be deleted until the browser is refreshed.
