**Course Title:** Mastering React.js: Building Modern User Interfaces **Section Title:** Final Project and Advanced Topics **Topic:** Begin working on the final project that showcases all the skills learned throughout the course.(Lab topic) **Introduction** In this final project, you'll have the opportunity to apply all the concepts learned throughout the course to build a real-world application that showcases your skills in React.js. This project should demonstrate your ability to integrate the key concepts learned, including component-based architecture, state management, routing, API integration, and performance optimization. **Project Requirements** Your final project should consist of a fully functional and interactive web application that addresses a real-world problem or meets a specific user need. The application should be built from scratch, and you should demonstrate your understanding of the following concepts: 1. Component-based architecture 2. State management ( useState, useEffect, Context API/RRedux) 3. Routing (React Router) 4. API integration (RESTful APIs, fetch API, axios) 5. Performance optimization ( React.memo, useMemo, useCallback) 6. Testing (Jest, React Testing Library) **Project Ideas** Here are some ideas to get you started: 1. **To-Do List App**: Build a to-do list app that allows users to add, edit, and delete tasks. The app should have features like filtering, sorting, and saving data to a RESTful API. 2. **Weather App**: Create a weather app that displays the current weather for a given location. The app should fetch data from a weather API and display it in a user-friendly format. 3. **e-Commerce App**: Build a simple e-commerce app that allows users to add items to a cart, view cart contents, and checkout. The app should integrate a payment gateway and save data to a backend database. 4. **Blog App**: Create a blog app that allows users to create, read, update, and delete blog posts. The app should have features like searching, categorization, and user authentication. **Deliverables** Your final project should include the following: 1. A README file that explains the project's purpose, functionality, and technical details. 2. A Github repository that contains the source code for the application. 3. A written report (min. 2 pages) that describes the project's architecture, design decisions, and challenges overcome. 4. A demo video (min. 5 minutes) that showcases the application's features and user interface. **Assessment Criteria** Your project will be evaluated based on the following criteria: 1. Correctness (40%): Does the application work as intended? Are the features functional and well-implemented? 2. Code quality (30%): Is the code well-organized, readable, and maintainable? 3. Design and user experience (20%): Is the user interface intuitive and user-friendly? 4. Technical depth (10%): Does the application demonstrate a good understanding of React.js concepts? 5. Documentation (10%): Is the README file, report, and demo video clear and concise? **Submission Guidelines** Please submit your project in the following format: * Create a new Github repository for your project. * Include a README file that describes the project's purpose, functionality, and technical details. * Commit all changes to the repository. * Share your repository link with the instructor. * Submit a written report (min. 2 pages) that describes the project's architecture, design decisions, and challenges overcome. * Record a demo video (min. 5 minutes) that showcases the application's features and user interface. * Submit the demo video as a link. **Grading and Feedback** Your project will be graded based on the assessment criteria above. You can expect feedback from the instructor within 3-5 business days after submission. **Additional Resources** * React.js documentation: <https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html> * React Router documentation: <https://reactrouter.com.webpack Documentary> * Jest documentation: <https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started> **What's Next?** Leave a comment or ask for help after reading this introduction to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the project. Good luck!
