Overheard in Chingu
Below is an excerpt from this week’s edition. See the whole article here.
We had a big issue with our project, as we could not do the project we initially planned on doing (limitations of API). We had an emergency-meeting, and found a new use for the API after like 30 minutes. Team is awesome!
I successfully implemented passport authentication in our application
frontend mvp almost complete
React pair programming. The past week we set up many React components, have re-styled our UI mobile first and added some Sass variables, and also set up our server and some basic routes to be connected to the client side next week.
The front end view and basic CRUD API are finished and ready to be integrated!
Everyone is progressing as planned with their learning for the sprints ahead — we’ve got a skeleton of our frontend built and will finalize initial design of the missing pages this week.
We successfully connected the front end to the back end. I learned how to implement asynchronous requests in React
