You've learned all the React fundamentals - now it's time to put everything together! In this final lesson, you'll build a complete Task Management Application that demonstrates real-world patterns and best practices. You'll use routing, state management, API integration, forms, error handling, and testing. This is your capstone project - let's build something amazing! šÆ
Project Overview: Task Manager App
We'll build a multi-page task management application with these features:
- Authentication - Login/logout functionality
- Dashboard - Overview of tasks and statistics
- Task List - View, filter, and search tasks
- Task Details - View and edit individual tasks
- Create Task - Form with validation
- Categories - Organize tasks by category
Technologies Used
- React 18 with hooks
- React Router for navigation
- Context API for state management
- localStorage for data persistence
- Custom hooks for reusable logic
- Error boundaries for error handling
- Jest and React Testing Library for tests
