Lab 9: Responding to an Event

Objectives

  • Add a button
  • Handle the click event

Steps

Add a button

  1. Open the file src\projects\ProjectCard.js

  2. Add an edit button to the ProjectCard using the HTML snippet below.

    <!-- place this below the <p>Budget: ...</p>  -->
    <button class="bordered">
    <span class="icon-edit "></span>
    Edit
    </button>

    Remember you will need to change some things about the HTML to make it valid JSX

    src\projects\ProjectCard.js

    ...
    <p>Budget...</p>
    <button className=" bordered">
    <span className="icon-edit "></span>
    Edit
    </button>
  3. Verify the button displays in your browser.

Handle the click event

  1. Add a handleEditClick event handler to ProjectCard that takes a project as an argument and logs it to the console.

    src\projects\ProjectCard.js

    function ProjectCard(props) {
    const { project } = props;
    + const handleEditClick = (projectBeingEdited) => {
    + console.log(projectBeingEdited);
    + };
    return (
    <div className="card">
    <img src={project.imageUrl} alt={project.name} />
    <section className="section dark">
    <h5 className="strong">
    <strong>{project.name}</strong>
    </h5>
    <p>{project.description}</p>
    <p>Budget : {project.budget.toLocaleString()}</p>
    <button className=" bordered">
    <span className="icon-edit "></span>
    Edit
    </button>
    </section>
    </div>
    );
    }
  2. Wire up the click event of the edit button to the handleEditClick event handler.

    src\projects\ProjectCard.js

    function ProjectCard(props) {
    const { project } = props;
    const handleEditClick = (projectBeingEdited) => {
    console.log(projectBeingEdited);
    };
    return (
    <div className="card">
    <img src={project.imageUrl} alt={project.name} />
    <section className="section dark">
    <h5 className="strong">
    <strong>{project.name}</strong>
    </h5>
    <p>{project.description}</p>
    <p>Budget : {project.budget.toLocaleString()}</p>
    <button
    className=" bordered"
    + onClick={() => {
    + handleEditClick(project);
    + }}
    >
    <span className="icon-edit "></span>
    Edit
    </button>
    </section>
    </div>
    );
    }

3) Verify the application is working by following these steps:

  1. Open the application in your browser and refresh the page.
  2. Open the Chrome DevTools to the console (F12 or fn+F12 on laptop).
  3. Click the edit button.
  4. Verify the project is logged to the Chrome DevTools console.
