Introduction to Components

In this assignment, you will build a page in React using Create React App that fetches data for a subreddit from the Reddit API and displays it on the page. Choose whatever subreddit you'd like.

Requirements

  • Display a div for each subreddit post containing the following fields:
    • title that links to url in a new tab
    • author
    • score - this is the same as ups
    • ups formatted with commas. To format a number, check out Number.prototype.toLocaleString().
    • If num_comments > 0, show the number of comments, also formatted with commas. Otherwise, show "No comments".
    • Display banner_background_image in some way if it exists.
  • While the Ajax request is pending, show a loading indicator on the screen using one of these CSS spinners. This loading indicator should be its own component.
  • Display subreddit_subscribers at the top of the page before the list. This value is the same for every subreddit post in the JSON.

Submission

Create a repo on GitHub called itp404-assignment3-introduction-to-components and upload your files. Also, deploy your app to Surge. Send an email to the TA and me with the title "ITP 404 - Assignment 3" with the GitHub and Surge URLs in the body. Failure to submit by the deadline will result in a 0.
