## About
**Habit Tracker** is my final project for [CS50's Introduction to Computer Science Course](https://www.edx.org/course/cs50s-introduction-to-computer-science).
What can I say, **Habit Tracker** keeps track of your habits :fireworks: :ok_hand: :tada:

## Getting started
Below you'll find the instructions for setting up the project locally and a walkthrough video, where I'm following these instructions.

### Clone repo and install dependencies
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/sitek94/habit-tracker-app.git
# Install dependencies
cd habit-tracker-app
yarn
```
### Connect Firebase
While you’re waiting for the dependencies to install, you can set up the Firebase.
1. Login to [Firebase](https://console.firebase.google.com/)
2. Create project
3. Create Realtime Database
1. In step 2, check “Start in **test mode”**
4. Authentication > Sign-in method > Sign-in providers, and add the following:
1. Email/Password
2. Google
3. Anonymous
4. (Optional): If you want to add Facebook and/or GitHub, you’ll have to get Client IDs and secrets from these services
5. Go to Project Overview and add a web app
6. You don’t need to run `npm install firebase`, it’s already installed
7. You should see a `firebaseConfig` similar to this:
```bash
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: "",
authDomain: "",
databaseURL: "",
projectId: "",
storageBucket: "",
messagingSenderId: "",
appId: "",
measurementId: "",
};
```
8. Create `.env.local` file, by duplicating `.env.local.example`, and use config above to fill it out
### Start the app
```bash
# Start development server
yarn start
```
The app should be running at: [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/)
## Challenges
I learned a lot while building the project and for sure I'm going to learn a lot more while maintaining it.
That's why I want to keep track of the challenges that I've had along the way so that I can reference them in the future.
### Database and data structure
How should I store habit's completion state for each day? Should each habit have an array with the dates
when it was performed or should I store dates and each date would keep track of the habits that where performed on that day?
I tried to structure the data so that it is saved and retrieved as easily as possible. To do so I've been following
[Firebase guidelines](https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/structure-data) and in the end came up with the following data structure:
```json
{
"habits": {
"user-one": {
"habit-one": {
"name": "Reading",
"description": "Read a book for at least 30 min in the morning",
"frequency": [0,1,2,3,4]
}
}
},
"checkmarks": {
"user-one": {
"checkmark-id": {
"habitId": "habit-one",
"date": "2020-11-11",
"value": "completed"
}
}
},
"users": {
"user-one": {
"locale": {
"code": "en-GB"
},
"theme": {
"primaryColor": "blue",
"secondaryColor": "red",
"dark": true
},
"performanceGoal": 80
}
}
}
```
### Authentication Layer
For quite some time I was using Private and Public routes to prevent an authenticated user from accessing the parts of the app available only for logged in user.
It was fine, but I wanted to use a different layout for authenticated users (additional sidebar on the left).
I found the perfect solution in a [blog post by Kent C. Dodds](https://kentcdodds.com/blog/authentication-in-react-applications):
```jsx
function App() {
const user = useUser();
return user ? : ;
}
```
### Localization and language
I've never before implemented this in an app, and I really wanted to give it a try. My main goal was to give the user an option to change their locale and language.
Although this goal was achieved, the solution is far from ideal. First, I think that it would be better to split these two layers. For example in YouTube one
can open settings and change either Language or Location.
## Bootstrapped with Create React App
