Fantasy Tour de France it's a simple single page application (SPA) that lets you pick a team of riders to compete while the race progresses. You score points based on how well your riders qualify after each stage is completed. You can change your team along the way to pick the best riders for different types of stage.
Fantasy Tour de France uses a number of open source projects to work:
- MongoDB - Free and open-source cross-platform document-oriented database
- Mongoose - Elegant MongoDB object modeling for NodeJS
- NodeJS - Evented I/O for the backend
- ExpressJS - Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for NodeJS
- JSONWebToken - Used for authorization
- ReactJS - A JavaScript library for building user interfaces
The goal of this project is to show the core concepts of building SPA with ReactJS. In this project I've used:
- React Hooks (They let you use state and other React features without writing a class)
- React Higher Order Components
- React Functional Components
- React Router for routing
- Request, Auth, CRUD and Helper services in attempt to abstract some of the functionality
