This Rick and Morty web app is a project made to showcase the use of The Rick and Morty API. It was my first hands on fully React personal app since I worked with it in other work projects but nothing I can show at in my personal portfolio. This wiki-ish app was made using all the power that React can bring, I'll describe in the next lines the technologies I used.
This is a full frontend app made with react so I was bound to use some of the tools crafted for specific purposes, I wanted this to be as simple as possible in terms of libraries added and what brings to the table. I needed to manage the global state, make API requests and to have a dark mode toggle switch, other than that I just wanted it to make it pretty. Here's the list:
- Vite: I needed a nice and easy dev environment, hot reload and commodity.
- Redux Toolkit: We all know Redux, I needed a hassle free state management to control things like the dark mode toggle state.
- React Router: Self explanatory.
- React Icons: Nice and centralized place to get multiple Icons, take a look here.
- TailwindCSS: I find it easier to style my components if I do it by myself.
- HeadlessUI: I used it only in the Navbar, sometimes using nicely made wrappers it's a go. Check it here

Well... How can I put this... At this moment I don't have set up unit or E2E tests, maybe in future releases.
