React Static Components

Objectives

• Practice rendering static children components
• Have some fun with the rendered components in the browser

Instructions

In this lab, we will be rendering a few children components in our top-most component: App. All of our work will be done in src/App.js, the rest of the components/source files shouldn't need any alterations.

Begin with npm install. Examine what is rendering in the browser with npm start. You should see an error we need to fix!

Once we properly render the other three components: CatComponent, GraceHopperQuoteComponent, and MouseComponent in App, we will have the flag of the Federal Republic of Germany, the birthplace of the first fully automatic, programmable, digital computer!

Admiral Grace Hopper, on the other hand, was an American computer scientist and United States Navy
admiral. She was a pioneer of computer programming who popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL.

Deliverables

• Two components have not been properly imported in src/App.js. Identify and debug the issue. The stack trace when running npm test should point you in the right direction! HINT: take a look at the component files. One of these components is exported by default, but the other is not. How does this change importing?

• Once you have the first two components importing correctly, import and render a third component, MouseComponent. In total, App needs to render three children components:

  1. CatComponent
  2. GraceHopperQuoteComponent
  3. MouseComponent

• Once the tests are passing, make sure to check out the fun animation in the browser by running npm start!
