Week 2: Testing React components
Building a cool React app is exciting! But imagine months down the line, a new feature/change breaks something unexpected. Testing your React components helps you catch these issues early, keeping your app running smoothly for you and your users.
Week 1: API Mocking
Imagine you were working on a frontend team and you needed a given API service so bad. To your disappointment, the service is still being built by the backend team and it will not be ready anytime soon. Actually, it could so happen that the service is down. So you think to yourself: How do I get around this? Enter API mocking!!
Internship
I am pleased to share that I will be starting my internship at Bodastage Solutions, and it will be running for at least 8 weeks. I will be documenting my progress over that time and providing a status update at the end of every week, most importantly the different challenges I face and how to fix them. I hope that at the end of it all, this internship will turn out to be a wonderful experience.
