Language: HTML/CSS/JS+React
I tried once before to port my Phonebook Search project from vanilla JS over to React, and I wasn’t able to get it working.
The approach I took back then was to take my finished fished project and start trying to stuff React code into it. This time I tackled it from scratch, building the UI components from the bottom up, and it turned out much better.
As I was building all of the UI elements, I ended up discovering a lot more edgecases, functionality, and polish that I wanted to add, which was very satisfying.
This was the first time I’ve used React outside of my job, which meant I also had to learn how to do ostensibly-basic things like build my code and deploy it to a GitHub page.
