Week 1

We introduce props, states, and events by creating a simple calculator app.

Week 2

We build on the calculator app by firstly converting all state creation to the useState hook. We add logging by using the useEffect hook. Lastly, we introduce npm packages by adding a color wheel package into our calculator to change the colors of the display and the board.

Week 3

This week, we talk about Routers and web APIs. It turns out we were using the calculator for counting calories. Perhaps we should use some algorithms do the work for us. We want to keep the calculator though so we will set it as one of the routes. Unfortunately, we can only eat 1 type of fruit a day.

Given our estimated calories calculated from the Harris-Benedict algorithm, we calculate how many of that fruit we need to eat to hit that calorie goal. We get this information from the fruityvice api containing information about fruits (https://www.fruityvice.com/). To spice up our webpage a little, we will also be calling an emoji API to look for that fruit emoji (https://emoji-api.com/).
