React | WikiCountries

Introduction

After spending too much time on GitHub, you found a JSON database of countries and you decide to use it to create your Wikipedia for countries!

Requirements

• Fork this repo
• Clone this repo

Submission

• Upon completion, run the following commands:

  git add .
  git commit -m "done"
  git push origin master
  

• Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.

Instructions

React Router installation

Don't forget to install the React Router:

$ npm install react-router-dom

And setup the router in your src/index.js file:

// src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';

import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

ReactDOM.render(
    <BrowserRouter>
        <App />
    </BrowserRouter>, 
    document.getElementById('root')
);

// If you want your app to work offline and load faster, you can change
// unregister() to register() below. Note this comes with some pitfalls.
// Learn more about service workers: http://bit.ly/CRA-PWA
serviceWorker.unregister();

Bootstrap installation

We will use Bootstrap V4 for the design 👍

$ npm install bootstrap

// src/index.js
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

Instructions

Iteration 1 | Create the components

In this iteration, we will focus on general layout. You will create at least 2 components:

• App: For the general layout
• CountryDetail: Your only Route that will show a component that will receive the country code (cca3) in the URL. That is going to represent the id of the country (example: ESP for Spain, FRA for France).

To help you, we gave you an example of a page inside example.html

As a reminder with Bootstrap:

<!-- Grid: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/#setting-one-column-width -->
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-5">Column 5/12</div>
  <div class="col-7">Column 7/12</div>
</div>

<!-- List group: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/list-group/#links-and-buttons -->
<div class="list-group">
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active">Cras justo odio (active)</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Dapibus ac facilisis in</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Morbi leo risus</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Porta ac consectetur ac</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled">Vestibulum at eros</a>
</div>

Iteration 2 | Create the entire application

Everything is in the title. Good luck 😄

In this case you only need a Switch to either show the CountryDetail component or show nothing. Your App component should always show the list of countries.

Happy coding! ❤️
