My process

Built with

  • CSS custom properties
  • Flexbox
  • React – JS library
  • TypeScript

What I learned

In this project I learned how to use TypeScript with React. Also how to fetch an external API data with a typescript function in React:

const getAdvice = async () => {
  const res = await fetch(baseURL)
  const data: dataAdvice = await res.json()
  const adviceObject: AdviceI = data.slip
  return adviceObject
}

Continued development

For my next projects I look forward to work on how to make the least amount of renders with a React App.
