Happy Little Palette Picker is a color-generator application that implements both front-end and back-end functionality to allow users to generate random palettes, lock colors to generate a custom palette, and create folders to store palettes. This project served as an introduction to utilizing back-end technologies in which, via PostgresSQL, Express.js, Node.js, and Knex, we were able to create and run a server as well as seed and migrate a database, while also allowing for the addition and subtraction of palettes and/or folders pending user input. Using React, we developed a modular front-end application that highlights a re-useable components structure and conditional rendering to keep our code base manageable in size. Happy Little Palette Picker is thoroughly tested using Enzyme and Jest test libraries to avoid any "Happy Little Accidents". We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it!
