Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Create, read, update, and delete invoices
• Receive form validations when trying to create/edit an invoice
• Save draft invoices, and mark pending invoices as paid
• Filter invoices by status (draft/pending/paid)
• Toggle light and dark mode
• Bonus: Keep track of any changes, even after refreshing the browser (localStorage could be used for this if you're not building out a full-stack app)

What I learned

OMG... Crasiest project i have ever built! Extremely difficult, a lot of math, changing and replacing things, hell yeah. Overall, I really developed my "developer mindset" with this challenge.

Continued development

First time using framer motion, it's really simple and funny to use, but i think that i will use this tool rarely, specially because i can do the same thing with typescript + styled-components. Second time using react-hook-forms, i tried it some time ago in a very small form with very little validation and stuff, but after using it in a bigger project like this, i just feel in love with this tool XD. First time using Dayjs, i always used date-fns, but i saw that dayjs had a smaller package and it seemed to be easier... i wasn't wrong tho!
