Read these instructions carefully. Understand exactly what is expected before starting this Sprint Challenge.
This challenge allows you to practice the concepts and techniques learned over the past sprint and apply them in a concrete project. This sprint explored Applied JavaScript. During this sprint, you studied DOM and components. In your challenge this week, you will demonstrate your mastery of these skills by creating an online Lambda newspaper.
This is an individual assessment. All work must be your own. Your challenge score is a measure of your ability to work independently using the material covered through this sprint. You need to demonstrate proficiency in the concepts and objectives introduced and practiced in preceding days.
You are not allowed to collaborate during the sprint challenge.
- Fork and clone the repo. Delete your old fork from Github first if you are repeating this Unit.
- Open the assignment in Canvas and click on the "Set up git" option.
- Push your first commit:
git commit --allow-empty -m "first commit" && git push
. - Check to see that Codegrade has accepted your git submission.
You are going to create a Bloomtech Newspaper. Your job is going to be to create the components that make up the newspaper's home page.
In meeting the minimum viable product (MVP) specifications listed below, your project should look similar to the image linked below:
- Navigate to the root of the project with your command line.
- Run
npm install
to download the dependencies listed in thepackage.json
file. - Run
npm start
to compile the project and serve it. - Navigate Chrome to
http://localhost:3000
- In a separate terminal, run
npm test
to run tests.
Steps Required for MVP:
- Steps 1 and 2 are explained inside the
src/components/header.js
file. - Steps 3 and 4 are explained inside the
src/components/tabs.js
file. - Steps 5 and 6 are explained inside the
src/components/card.js
file.
Important Notes:
- Please do not move or rename existing files or folders.
- If your development server stops "auto reloading", manually kill it with
CTRL+C
and restart it. - Do not change the
package.json
file except to install libraries with NPM (Axios is already in thepackage.json
). - In your solution, it is essential that you follow best practices and produce clean and professional results.
- Schedule time to review, refine, and polish your work, including spell-checking and grammar-checking.
- It is better to submit a challenge that meets MVP than one that attempts too much and does not.
- Submit via Codegrade by committing and pushing any new changes to the main branch.
- Check Codegrade for automated feedback.
- Check Codegrade in the days following the Sprint Challenge for reviewer feedback.
- Any changes pushed after the deadline will not receive any feedback.
Demonstrate your understanding of this week's concepts by answering the following questions:
-
What is the DOM? Document object model
-
What is an event? an interraction on a page.
-
What is an event listener? a program that looks for certain interactions on a page
-
Why would we convert a NodeList into an Array? to make it easier to compare, add, remove data with js..
-
What is a component? A function that utilizes js and html
