React Props and State Lab

Overview

You'll build a small React application where you'll update state in response to a fetch payload and pass props among components to handle updates.

Animal Shelter

Time to put all of our hard-earned knowledge to the test! This lab is fairly big, and will require you to use everything you've learned up to this point. Don't be intimidated, there are plenty of tests to guide you along the way! In this lab, we'll be working on a front-end for an animal shelter. Sadly, there still are way too many cute pets without any owners. Let's help them out by creating a UI in React!

We strongly recommend completing this lab using Behavior Driven Development (BDD)––test the functionality in the browser before running the tests. You'll have a much better time seeing the results in the browser.

Deliverables

A user should be able to change the Animal Type filter/drop down to specify the type of animal they want to adopt.
A user should be able to click on the 'Find pets' button, and they will see all of pets only for the type they specified in the drop down (you'll be fetching to a mock API to get this data).
A user can click on 'Adopt' to adopt that pet. They cannot un-adopt it. No backsies!

Don't worry about persistence. We will not be saving this data to a real API. So if a pet is adopted, on refresh of the page, they will be available for adoption again. We are only going to focus on building the front end UI.

Instructions

On a high level, you will be working on several components that form the UI of the animal shelter adoption application. There are several components that need your attention. All of these components can be found in the components/ folder. Starting from the top-level and working our way down through all its descendants:

`App`

The app's initial state is already defined. App has two children: the <Filters /> and <PetBrowser /> components.
App should pass a callback prop, onChangeType, to <Filters />. This callback needs to update <App />'s state.filters.type
<Filters /> needs a callback prop, onFindPetsClick. When the <Filters /> component calls onFindPetsClick, <App /> should fetch a list of pets using fetch().

Assuming your app is up and running, you can make a fetch to this exact URL: /api/pets with an optional query parameter to get your data.
Use App's state.filters to control/update this parameter
If the type is 'all', send a request to /api/pets
If the type is 'cat', send a request to /api/pets?type=cat. Do the same thing for dog and micropig.
The pet data received will include information on individual pets and their adoption status.

Set <App/>'s state.pets with the results of your fetch request so you can pass the pet data down as props to <PetBrowser />

Even though we're using fetch here, its responses have been mocked in order to make the tests work properly. That means it's important to use the exact URLs as described above, or your tests will fail!

Finally, App should pass a callback prop, onAdoptPet, to <PetBrowser />. This callback should take in an id for a pet, find the matching pet in state.pets and set the isAdopted property to true.

`Filters`

Should receive an onChangeType callback prop. This callback prop gets called whenever the value of the <select> element changes with the value of the <select>
Should receive an onFindPetsClick callback prop. This callback prop gets called when the users clicks the 'Find pets' button.

`PetBrowser`

Should receive a pets prop. This is an array of pets that the component uses to render <Pet /> components. App should determine which pets to pass down as props. App should be responsible for filtering this list based on the types of pets the user wants to see.
Should receive an onAdoptPet prop. This callback prop gets passed to its <Pet /> children components.

`Pet`

Should receive a pet prop. Use the attributes in this data to render the pet card correctly. It should show the pet's name, type, age and weight. Based on the pet's gender, the component also needs to contain either a male (♂) or female (♀) symbol.
Each pet may or may not have an isAdopted property set to true. Using this property, render the correct button in the pet's card; if the pet is adopted, show the disabled button. Otherwise, show the primary button to adopt the pet.
Should receive an onAdoptPet callback prop. This callback prop gets called with the pet's id when the user clicks the adopt pet button — not when they click the disabled button!
