Brought up to me by one of my friends, we decided to get rid of the old clunky system to find neighborhood groups and create our own new and improved version!
Currently a work in progress, we paired React on the front end with Python and Django on the backend!
Tech Stack
Lets start with the front end. I created the front end code with React. With the use of the Fetch API, I was able to pull data from the backend that was made. The fetch API uses JavaScript Promises to handle Asynchronous responses, which allowed me to use one of my favorite things about React: t he Component Life Cycle Methods!
Using the fetch API, I made an API call inside the componentDidMount() lifecycle method to store data in state! Using the component's state I was able to pass properties down to other components that consumed them.
With the data handling out of the way, the web app also features Responsive design, to ensure the best User Experience whether on your desktop, or on the go!
