Learnt

1. useEffect hook

Used to fire a function each time there is a rerender

useEffect( () => {
  // function body
})

2. dependency array

useEffect( () => {
  // function body
}, [])

• Fires the function once, when the page renders the first time.
• A good place to fetch data

const [name, setName] = useState('Mario');
...
useEffect( () => {
  // function body
}, [name])

useEffect() when watch the state name name if there is a change on this state the useEffect function is fired. Thus, this would be fired when the page first renders, and whenever the name state changes.

3. json-server

npm i --location=global json-server npx json-server --watch data/db.json --port 9000

4. Link vs NavLink from react-router-dom

Link does not give the active class to any of its element.

5. "Homepage" field from package.json

The Homepage should be a domain name, not with the path to whatever. If the path after the domain name is specified the server would set the path as a path to the localhost.

That is, if the homepage is something like this

  {
    "name": "poetline",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "private": true,
    "Homepage": "mulfranck.github.io/poetlines/",
    //...
  }

When npm start is executed the resulting url is

local: https://localhost:3000/poetlines

instead of https://localhost:3000
