Description

This project is a React web application meant to imitate the functionality and UI of Instagram. The purpose of this project was to test out some of the things I have learned in Frontend and Backend development. The data being rendered is pulled in from an API deployed on Heroku. User registration, login, post and comment creation, deletion, fetching, or editing, are all handled there. This project was deployed on Netlify.

• The application is run using React, a library for building out User Interfaces.
• React Router is a React dependency for handling Client Side routing.
• React Loader Spinner is a React dependency for creating loader spinners.
• Redux is a state-management library, which is useful for managing state as an application grows.
• Redux Thunk was used for creating asynchronous redux action creators.
• Redux Logger was used for logging redux actions, which is useful for troubleshooting.
• Axios is a promise-based HTTP client. It was used to make all requests to my API.
