A fully responsive React wordle clone
Introduction
This app is a copy of the popular word game 'Wordle' made by Josh
Wardle.
Working on the development of this application was both a great
deal of fun and knowledge.
I strengthened my knowledge regarding CSS. I got to use some of the many functionalities of CSS including putting in place nice animations, pleasant styles with properties and transformations such as 'text-transform'. To ensure that the content is always displayed in a proper way I used media queries to make the app responsive as well as using '-webkit-fill-available' to obtain the proper screen height on mobile. As such I got to learn a lot more about CSS and got to appreciate all the possibilities it offers.
Of course I also got to further my knowledge of React. I created custom components and a hook for the game activity. I also utilized a library component 'react-toast' for the toast notification and utilized the React hooks 'useState' and 'useEffect'. Through the development of the different components and functions, I utilized TypeScript to assure correct usage of the different objects. Finally, when need be I used tests with Jest to ensure the proper behavior of key functions.
