Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Add/Remove products from the cart
• Edit product quantities in the cart
• Fill in all fields in the checkout
• Receive form validations if fields are missed or incorrect during checkout
• See correct checkout totals depending on the products in the cart
  • Shipping always adds $50 to the order
  • VAT is calculated as 20% of the product total, excluding shipping
• See an order confirmation modal after checking out with an order summary
• Bonus: Keep track of what's in the cart, even after refreshing the browser (localStorage could be used for this if you're not building out a full-stack app)

What I learned

I had so much fun with NextJS and this really huge project. I used a new feature for me, the useContext hook from React.

'use client'
import { createContext, useState } from 'react';

const CartContext = createContext([
    [], 
    () => {}]);

const CartContextProvider = (props) => {
  const [state, setState] = useState([{
    quantity: 0,
    item: ''
}]);
  return (
    <CartContext.Provider value={[state, setState]}>
      {props.children}
    </CartContext.Provider>
  );
}

export { CartContext, CartContextProvider}
