### API-used
The API used for this quiz was the [Open Trivia DB API](https://opentdb.com/). It's fairly simple to use and pretty straightforward.
### Idea
The quiz consists of three states: choosing(selecting difficulty, category and so on), answering and finished(all questions are answered).
When the quiz is in its "choosing" state, the user can select the category of the questions, the difficulty, the number of questions and they can turn the time limit on or off.
Then the user answers the questions. And then, when all questions have been answered, the screen is updated to show how many questions the user got right and the percentage. There's also a tabbed interface for the user to see the correct and wrong questions.
### Fetching
I put all the fetch-related functions inside one file for better organization and I didn't use a custom Hook because I didn't want to take a general approach for fetching as I would use it just once anyway.
```js
import decodeQuestion from "./decodeQuestion";
export async function fetchCategories() {
const res = await fetch("https://opentdb.com/api_category.php");
if (res.status > 299) {
throw new Error(
`Failed to fetch categories. Please, try reloading the page. ${res.status} ${res.statusText}`
);
}
const categoriesJSON = await res.json();
const categories = categoriesJSON.trivia_categories;
return categories;
}
export async function fetchQuestionCount(categoryId) {
const response = await fetch(
`https://opentdb.com/api_count.php?category=${categoryId}`
);
let data;
if (response.status <= 299) {
data = await response.json();
} else {
throw new Error(
"Failed to fetch question count for category with id " + categoryId
);
}
const questionCount = data.category_question_count;
return {
categoryId: categoryId,
count: {
total: questionCount.total_question_count,
easy: questionCount.total_easy_question_count,
medium: questionCount.total_medium_question_count,
hard: questionCount.total_hard_question_count,
},
};
}
export async function fetchQuestionCounts(categories) {
const questionCounts = await Promise.all(
categories.map((category) => fetchQuestionCount(category.id))
);
return questionCounts;
}
export function fetchQuestions(amount, categoryId, difficulty) {
const categoryQuery = categoryId ? `&category=${categoryId}` : "";
const difficultyQuery = difficulty ? `&difficulty=${difficulty}` : "";
return fetch(
`https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=${amount}&encode=url3986${categoryQuery}${difficultyQuery}`
)
.then((res) => {
if (res.status >= 300) {
throw new Error(
`Failed to fetch questions. ${res.status} ${res.statusText}`
);
} else {
return res.json();
}
})
.then((data) => {
if (data.response_code !== 0)
throw new Error(
`API returned ${data.response_code} code. Invalid parameters or no results for your query.`
);
else return data.results.map(decodeQuestion);
});
}
```
### Accessibility
I want to highlight the accessibility of this project because it was the project I've been most concerned about accessibility so far, together with [my portfolio](https://rafaeldevvv.github.io/portfolio).
All controls are usable by the keyboard and I used WAI-ARIA attributes very well to give the content missing semantics. I also payed attention to the contrast of the colors.
The two custom controls that I made in this project are the toggle switch for the time limit and a tabbed interface to see the correct and wrong questions. Both are usable by keyboard and screen reader users.
I tested my application thoroughly with [NVDA](https://www.nvaccess.org/download/).
For the toggle, I just used the native checkbox as the button to be clicked and focused. I didn't use `
`s or ``s and WAI-ARIA attributes. I just took advantage of the built-in HTML features.
The checkbox is visually hidden, but it can be focused by keyboard and screen readers. For mouse users, they just have to click the label and that's it.
```jsx
import React, { useState } from "react";
export default function CheckboxToggle({
checked,
id,
onToggle,
label,
srWarning,
}) {
const [isFocused, setIsFocused] = useState(false);
let buttonClassName = "checkbox-toggle-button";
if (checked) buttonClassName += " active";
if (isFocused) buttonClassName += " focused";
return (
{label}
{srWarning && {srWarning}}
{
onToggle(e.target.checked);
}}
checked={checked}
className="sr-only"
onFocus={() => setIsFocused(true)}
onBlur={() => setIsFocused(false)}
/>
{
if (e.key.indexOf(" ") !== -1) {
onToggle(!checked);
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
}
}}
>
);
}
```
The tabbed interface is a lot more complex with a lot of WAI-ARIA attributes, and I managed to build it.
```jsx
```
```jsx
export function Tablist({ onSelectTab, selectedTab }) {
const isCorrectSelected = selectedTab === "correct";
const commonAttrs = {
role: "tab",
"aria-setsize": "2",
};
const correctTabRef = useRef(null);
const wrongTabRef = useRef(null);
function focus(tab) {
if (tab === "correct") {
correctTabRef.current.focus();
} else {
wrongTabRef.current.focus();
}
}
return (
{
if (e.key === "ArrowRight" || e.key === "ArrowLeft") {
const tab = isCorrectSelected ? "wrong" : "correct";
onSelectTab(tab);
focus(tab);
}
}}
>
onSelectTab("correct")}
{...commonAttrs}
ref={correctTabRef}
>
Correct questions
onSelectTab("wrong")}
{...commonAttrs}
ref={wrongTabRef}
>
Wrong questions
);
}
export function TabPanels({
selectedTab,
wrongQuestions,
options,
correctQuestions,
}) {
const isCorrectSelected = selectedTab === "correct";
return (
);
}
export function QuestionsList({ questions, options, noQuestionsText }) {
const noQuestions = questions.length === 0;
let listInner;
if (noQuestions) {
listInner = noQuestionsText;
} else {
listInner = questions.map((q) => {
return (
{q.question}
{q.answers.map((answer, i) => {
return (
-
Option {options[i]}:
({options[i]})
{answer}
);
})}
Correct answer: {q.correctAnswer}
{!checkQuestionIsCorrect(q) && (
Your answer: {q.userAnswer}
)}
);
});
}
return (
{listInner}
);
}
```
