Data Sorting Component

Data Sorting Component

Giving the end-user multiple ways to sort/view their data is a great UX feature. This can be relatively easily by thinking ahead and writing some good CSS. Of course, minimal JavaScript as well.

Create a component that will allow users to see the exact same data in a minimum of 2 ways. As per the mockups; card view and list view.

Use vanilla JavaScript or any framework you'd like to tackle this Code Adventure!

JavaScript Array Methods: filter()

Have you ever needed to filter array elements by certain criteria? For example, to get numbers within a range, or strings that contain certain characters? Luckily, there is an easy way to do this in JavaScript by using the filter() method. Follow along as Dustin dives into how to use this method and what it can do. Then, he offers a challenge (and a solution) so you can get some practice using it right away.

JavaScript Search

Letting users search through data in your application or website is a great UX feature. Building out this type of functionality isn't as hard as you may think. With some basic JavaScript, we can tackle the filtering and searching of data. Follow along as I add a search feature with vanilla JavaScript that allows the user to search for a specific author in a list of authors!
