Intermediate React Coding Interview

This project was based on the YouTube video Intermediate React.js Coding Interview (ft. Clément Mihailescu) by Ben Awad and Clément Mihailescu

The Challenge:

• Fetch the data from https://randomuser.me/api/
• Generate a table based on the users' address details
• Enable sorting based on columns
• Add an field which will enable filtering based on values on rows

Running the Application

1. Install the dependencies using npm install
2. Run the application using npm run start

npm install
npm run start

My Approach

1. Use fetch to get data from the api reference; called once on mount of the page/application
2. Deconstruct the data and format it the way I wanted to show in my table
3. Create a mapping of the key and name and save it as the header object array
4. Create a separate component for the table headers (column) and table data (rows)
5. Add an input field for filtering text
6. Create a pure function tableFilterText to filter all the users based on filterText which is updated on change of the input field
7. Add a handleSort onClick function to column headers
8. Create a pure function tableSortByColumn to sort based on sortObject which is updated on handleSort
