Lab 5: Data

Objectives

  • Add data
  • Display the data

Steps

Add data

  1. Download the code snippets, data, and images needed for the labs by following these steps.
    1. Click this link to open the snip repository on GitHub.
    2. Click the Green Code button then choose Download ZIP.
    3. Unzip the file snip-master.zip archive you downloaded in the prior step.
  2. Open File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
  3. Copy the snip-master\labs\js\snippets\lab05\assets directory (including the assets directory) into the keeptrack\public directory.
  4. Copy the files snip-master\labs\js\snippets\lab05\MockProjects.js and snip-master\labs\js\snippets\lab05\Project.js into the keeptrack\src\projects directory.

Display the data

  1. Open the file src\projects\ProjectsPage.js.

  2. Use JSON.stringify() to output the MOCK_PROJECTS array from MockProjects.js in the render method of the component.

    TIPS:

    • React components can only return one root element so you will need to wrap the <h1> and <pre> tags in a React Fragement <></>.
    • Wrapping output in a HTML <pre></pre> (preformatted) tag retains whitespace.
    • To switch to JavaScript in JSX use { }
    • JSON.stringify(MOCK_PROJECTS, null, ' ')'s third argument is used to insert white space into the output JSON string for readability purposes. The second argument is a replacer function so we can pass null because we don't need to replace anything.

    Solution

    src\projects\ProjectsPage.js

    + import { MOCK_PROJECTS } from './MockProjects';
    function ProjectsPage() {
    - return <h1>Projects</h1>
    + return (
    + <>
    + <h1>Projects</h1>
    + <pre>{JSON.stringify(MOCK_PROJECTS, null, ' ')}</pre>
    + </>
    + );
    }
    export default ProjectsPage;
