UserProfile Card Challenge and Solution

Our Goal : User Profile App

UserProfile Card App

A step-by-step guide to implementing a React User Profile App

Step 1. Setup the React App

1. Open a terminal and create a new React app:

   npx create-react-app user-profile-app
   cd user-profile-app

2. Install the Bootstrap package:

   npm install bootstrap

3. Import Bootstrap into the index.js file:

   import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
   import './index.css'; // Optionally include your custom CSS

---

Step 2. Create the Parent App.jsx Component

// Layout Design for App.jsx
----------------------------------------
|                                      |<---- card container
|          User Profile App            |
|                                      |
|   -------------------------------    |<---- UserProfile container
|   |                             |    |
|   |       [ User Profile ]      |    |<----- UserProfile component
|   |                             |    |
|   -------------------------------    |
|                                      |
----------------------------------------

1. Open src/App.jsx and set it up to include the child UserProfile component.

2. Here is the updated App.jsx:

   
   import React from 'react'
   import UserCardProfile from './components/UserCardProfile'
   import './App.css'
   
   const UserCard = () => {
     const user = {
       userImage: 'src/assets/hnu-mypic.JPG', // Replace with a real image URL
       name: 'John Doe',
       email: '[e-mail]',
       bio: 'Software developer with a passion for building great web applications.',
     }
   
     return (
       <>
         <h1 >User Profile App</h1>
         <div className="profile-container user-profile mt-5">
           <UserCardProfile {...user} />
         </div>
       </>
     )
   }
   
   export default UserCard

Step 3. Create the Child UserProfile.jsx Component

// Some code
------------------------------------------------------------
|                                                          |
|  ----------------------------------------------------    |<--- User Profile card container
|  | User Profile Card                                |    |
|  |--------------------------------------------------|    |<---- User Profile Layout
|  |  [ Profile Image ]    |  [ User Details Card ]   |    |      flex -row direction
|  |                       |                          |    |      Profile Image + User Details
|  |                       |  Name: [ John Doe ]      |    |
|  |                       |  Email: [e-mail] |    |
|  |                       |  Bio: Software Developer |    |
|  ----------------------------------------------------    |
|                                                          |
------------------------------------------------------------

1. Create a components folder in the src directory and add a file named UserProfile.jsx.

2. Implement the UserProfile component:

   import React from 'react'
   import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
   
   const UserCardProfile = ({ userImage, name, email, bio }) => {
     console.log({userImage})
       return (
       <>
         {/* Left Item: User Image */}
         <div className="me-3">
           <img
             src={userImage}
             alt={`${name}'s profile`}
             className="img-fluid rounded-4"
             style={{ width: '250px', height: '200px', objectFit: 'cover' }}
           />
         </div>
   
         {/* Right Item: User Details */}
         <div >
           <h3 className="text-primary mb-2">{name}</h3>
           <p className="mb-1 text-muted">
             <strong>Email:</strong> {email}
           </p>
           <p className="mb-0 text-secondary">
             <strong>Bio:</strong> {bio}
           </p>
         </div>
       </>
     )
   }
   
   UserCardProfile.propTypes = {
     userImage: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
     name: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
     email: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
     bio: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
   }
   
   export default UserCardProfile

Step 4. Add Custom Styles (Optional)

1. Create a src/App.css file to add custom styles :

---

// App.css
.card-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  /* Centers horizontally */
  align-items: center;
  /* Centers vertically */
  flex-direction: column;
  /* Optional: if you want the cards to stack vertically */
 /*  height: 100vh; */
  /* Optional: full viewport height */
  
}
.profile-container {
  max-width: 600px;
}

.user-profile {
  border: 1px solid #cc7979;
  border-radius: 15px;
  padding: 20px;
  max-width: 600px;
  margin: 20px auto;
  text-align: center;
}

Step 5. Test the Application

1. Run the app:

   npm run dev

2. Open the browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173. You should see the user profile displayed with the image on the left and name, email, and bio on the right.

6. Folder Structure Overview

After implementation, your folder structure should look like this:

user-profile-app/
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   └── UserProfile.jsx
│   ├── index.css
│   ├── App.jsx
│   └── index.js
├── public/
├── package.json
└── node_modules/

---

This app now uses Bootstrap CSS for styling and follows the structure you described. You can customize further as needed!
