Week 2

With the help of the two Udemy courses and additional google searches, I was able to complete steps 1 - 3 of Simr Project Development; during this time, I came across several errors and frustrations.

Step One: Create An Empty React 360 Environment

Why does the project not open on the browser?

  • Fix: Incorrect variable declaration and downloading “optional” packages.

Step Two: Create Translucent Code Panel On Left.

How do I get the border on the bottom of the panel?

  • Fix: Padding had to be added and adjusted.

Step Three: Place Code Text In Panel

How do I write the sample code in the Text tags in render?

  • Fix: Created a separate folder to hold data aka the sample code and any additional code needed to display, then exported the code variable to index.js. After importing the data into a variable mainExample, I accessed it and displayed it on the left code panel.

  • Acquired Knowledge:

    • When writing multiple lines of string to a var, one uses the backtick/grave accent.
    • Temple literals

How do I get the words to be inline?

  • Fix: Used flexWrap, fontSize and flexDirection.

Though I have successfully completed Steps 1 - 3, I am still trying to answer the following question:

How do I change the font and ensure indentation of the code is correct within the panel?

  • Acquired Knowledge:
    • I should be able to use fontFamily and modify the font with it, but the font remains unchanged.
    • Indentation within the backticks are not registered.
