Build Sprint 1

What we learnt

  • React Router
  • Using React packages for functionality
    • React Swipeable replaced a huge amount of DOM manipulation we'd have had to do.
  • Testing
    • Tesing components in the way the user would access the app rather than with test IDs
    • For the first few components we tested as we built
  • Using a Switch in our router to route to 404 Page

Our approach

  • Each day we set ourselves a goal and tried to complete it by the end of the day
  • Almost every day we were successful!
  • We designed our components as we built them
  • We kept up with user research throughout the week and asked our mentor to conduct a code review on day four
  • All our issues were labelled and prioritised
  • All pull requests were reviewed in detail before being merged

What we struggled with

  • We were originally using testing on test-ids and had to change our approach after learning more about testing
  • We had an issue with Netlify giving 404s on our end points
