## Overview

### The challenge

Users should be able to:

-   View the bar chart and hover over the individual bars to see the correct amounts for each day

-   See the current day’s bar highlighted in a different colour to the other bars

-   View the optimal layout for the content depending on their device’s screen size

-   See hover states for all interactive elements on the page

-   **Bonus**: Use the JSON data file provided to dynamically size the bars on the chart

## My process

-   look at data model

-   sketch out UI and components model

-   build components with hard-coded holding text and basic CSS

-   build static version using data

-   identify items that need to be held in state and their common owner

-   initialise state items and functions to update them in common owner component and pass to child components as props

-   add function calls to child components to allow user inputs to update state

-   clean up CSS and make display responsive

### Built with

-   Semantic HTML5 markup

-   CSS custom properties

-   Flexbox

-   [React](https://reactjs.org/) - JS library

### What I learned

-   adding multiple conditional classes to an element

-   using a calculated number to style the size of an element in CSS

-   interpreting an ambiguous static image into a user interface that acts in expected ways

-   identifying constants and refactoring my code to calculating the same data repeatedly

### Continued development

-   creating React apps in Typescript, particularly how to pass function calls in props

-   pre-checking a json file to ensure that data is complete

-   setting up a React app without CRA
