Requirements for project

• Accept some user input (e.g. a username)
• Query an API (e.g. the Github API, or any other fun one)
• Populate the UI with API data
• Have some form of persistent state and interactivity
• Have integration tests using React Testing Library

User Stories

As a user, I want to be able to choose a picture theme to populate my card-game.

As a user, I want to guess which cards match one another.

As a user, I want a smooth UI which tells me when I get guesses right and wrong.

Let's have a look!

Stretch goals

• adding timer
• adding points
• actually writing more react...
• adding tests

---

const Cards = props => {
  const [clickedCards, setClickedCards] = React.useState([]);
  const [flipped, setFlip] = React.useState(false);

  console.log('i am the array of photos in cards', props.photoArray);

  const flipper = event => {
    setFlip(true);
    event.target.parentElement.classList.toggle('clickedCard');
    clickedCards.push(event.target.parentElement);
    console.log('I am the clicked cards', clickedCards);

    if (clickedCards.length > 2) {
      console.log('i am the first element', clickedCards[0]);
      if (clickedCards[1].dataset.id === clickedCards[2].dataset.id) {
        clickedCards[1].classList.toggle('clickedCard');
        clickedCards[2].classList.toggle('clickedCard');
        clickedCards[1].classList.add('correctCard');
        clickedCards[2].classList.add('correctCard');
      }
      clickedCards[0].classList.toggle('clickedCard');
      clickedCards.shift();
    }
  };

What would we change?

• using state for the clickedCards instead of an array
• modularising components (card component)
• Reducing manual dom manipulation so we are toggling classlist dynamically
