What I learned

After creating static version of this challenge i extracted the code into components and made initial state of the app. Then all there is needed to do was handle some logic for clearing the unread messages and updating message count. Snippet below is responsible for these functionality.

function clearNotificationsHandler() {
  const clearedNotifications = notifications.map((notification) => ({
    ...notification,
    status: true,
  }));

  setNotifications(clearedNotifications);
}

const unreadNotifications = notifications.filter(
  (notification) => notification.status === false
);
