React Photos App

This is for diving deeper into React, including topics of: User events, Fetch and List display

Kowalski, are you there?

App Summary

• With this Photos App I went into depth on handling user input with Forms and Events

• This application used the external API from Unsplash.com

• The connection provided returns photos that match the search term ie: dogs returns photos of dogs

• What was learned:

  • Component Design and project structure
  • Creating Forms for the user
  • Creating, altering and handling Events and Submittals
  • Solving Context Issues
  • Connecting an external API(Unsplash) and ability to request/retrieve/display data
  • Fetch vs Axios and .then vs Async Await
  • Controlled and Uncontrolled elements
  • Communicating from Child to Parent and invoking callbacks in Children
  • So far, different styling with Grid CSS/CSS and JS/React

• A few things that do not work in the App:

  • 012819
  • Currently the Photos App will return only 10 photos(I'm working on that)
  • Currently the photos returned have spacing issues(also being worked on)
  • There isn't much of a utilization app, it's meant to return data from an external API
  • A user will only be able to search for photos to be returned and will get a display
