Front-End Trainee Assignment

Overview

This project demonstrates the use of various front-end technologies to build a user-friendly and interactive application. The application leverages React and JavaScript along with several libraries and tools to create a dynamic user interface, implement Material Design, manage styling, display charts, and ensure code quality through testing.

Project Structure

1. React (react, react-dom)

• Purpose: React is the core library used to build the user interface. It allows for the creation of reusable components and efficient updates to the UI based on state changes.
• Installation:

  npm install react react-dom

2. Material-UI (@mui/material, @mui/icons-material)

• Purpose: Material-UI provides a collection of React components that implement Google’s Material Design. It helps create a modern and responsive user interface.
• Installation:

  npm install @mui/material @mui/icons-material

3. Emotion (@emotion/react, @emotion/styled)

• Purpose: Emotion is used for writing CSS styles with JavaScript. It allows for dynamic styling and theming of components.
• Installation:

  npm install @emotion/react @emotion/styled

4. FontAwesome (@fortawesome/react-fontawesome, @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons)

• Purpose: FontAwesome provides a library of icons that can be easily integrated into the application to enhance user experience.
• Installation:

  npm install @fortawesome/react-fontawesome @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons

5. Chart.js (chart.js, react-chartjs-2)

• Purpose: Chart.js is used for creating charts and visualizing data. react-chartjs-2 integrates Chart.js with React, allowing you to create interactive charts.
• Installation:

  npm install chart.js react-chartjs-2

6. Testing Libraries (@testing-library/react, @testing-library/jest-dom, @testing-library/user-event)

• Purpose: These libraries are used for testing React components. They ensure that components render correctly and user interactions work as expected.
• Installation:

  npm install @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom @testing-library/user-event

How It Works

1. Setup and Installation

   • Clone the repository: git clone <repository-url>
   • Navigate to the project directory: cd <project-directory>
   • Install dependencies: npm install

2. Running the Application

   • Start the development server: npm start
   • Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to view the application.

3. Component Structure

   • The application is structured around reusable React components.
   • Components are styled using Emotion and Material-UI to ensure a consistent look and feel.

4. Data Visualization

   • Chart.js is used to render charts. Data for these charts is managed and passed to chart components as props.

5. Testing

   • Unit tests are written using @testing-library/react and @testing-library/jest-dom.
   • Run tests with: npm test

Example Commands

• Start Development Server: npm start
• Run Tests: npm test
• Build for Production: npm run build
