What I learned

This was an interesting challenge to practice with React.

Implemented customs hooks to improve readability of components

// With this hook a can create specific filters and update them individually
export const useFilter = (state = initialState) => {
  const [filters, setFilters] = useState(state)

  const addLocation = (location) => setFilters(prev => ({
    ...prev,
    location
  }))

  const addGuests = (guests) => setFilters(prev => ({
    ...prev,
    guests
  }))

  return {
    filters,
    addLocation,
    addGuests
  }
}

// Usage
const {filters: filterName, addLocation: addNameLocation, addGuest: addNameGuests} = useFilter(initialState)

Followed component composition pattern to spread the data across the app without the use of useContext hook

// FilterList/index.jsx
export const FilterList = ({ children, filter, activeTab }) => {
  const isActive = filter === activeTab
  return (
    <StyledList isActive={isActive}>
      {children}
    </StyledList>
  )
}
// Modal/index.jsx
<FilterList filter='location' activeTab={activeTab}>
  {
    locations.map(location => {
      const [city, country] = location.split(', ')
      return (
        <LocationItem
          key={city}
          location={{ city, country }}
          setSelectedLocation={setSelectedLocation}
        />
      )
    })
  }
</FilterList>

Added a service to handle the data output depending on the filters applied

export const getFilteredData = (filters, array) => {
  const { location, guests } = filters

  let filteredData = array

  if (location && guests) {
    //Filter by location and guests
  } else if (location) {
    //Filter only by location
  } else if (guests) {
    //Filter only by guests
  }

  return filteredData
}

Used this cool trick to remove the duplicated locations from the data file with only two lines

const rawLocations = data.map(({ city, country }) => (`${city}, ${country}`))
const locations = [...new Set(rawLocations)]

Useful resources

• Styled Components docs - The official documentation of styled components, this resource was very useful to understand this package.

• Conditional styled components article - This is a great article to understand the basis on condition handling with styled component. Helped me a lot with this project.
