Conclusion to Our Poll App

Congratulations! You’ve built your very own Poll App using React and Vite. In this final module, we’ll summarize what you’ve learned, revisit key features of your app, test your knowledge, and provide resources for continuing your React journey.

By the end, you’ll not only have a fully functional app but also understand the underlying concepts well enough to build similar apps from scratch.

1) Learning Outcomes

By completing this project, you have gained several essential React and front-end development skills:

1. Set up a React project with Vite:
   You initialized your Poll App using Vite, which gave you a fast development environment and optimized production builds.
2. Managed state with React Hooks:
   Using useState, you tracked:
   • polls – the list of all polls with questions, options, and votes.
   • UI updates automatically when votes change, polls are added, or cleared.

Used side effects with useEffect: The app automatically saves polls to localStorage whenever they change. This ensures data persists across page reloads.

useEffect(() => {

localStorage.setItem("polls", JSON.stringify(polls));

}, [polls]);

1. Handled user actions with event handlers:
   • addPoll – Adds a new poll with options.
   • vote – Increments votes for a selected option.
   • deletePoll – Removes a poll.
   • resetPollVotes – Resets votes for a single poll.
   • resetAllVotes – Resets votes for all polls.
   • clearAllPolls – Deletes all polls permanently.
2. Built reusable components:
   • NewPollForm – For creating new polls.
   • PollList – Displays existing polls with voting, reset, and delete options.
3. Applied conditional rendering and mapping:
   • Looped through polls and options dynamically using map().
   • Rendered buttons, progress bars, and poll details based on app state.
4. Styled the UI with CSS:
   • Dark-themed gradient background and modern cards.
   • Interactive buttons and progress bars with smooth hover effects.
   • Responsive layout that adapts to mobile screens.
5. Persisted data with localStorage:
   This ensures polls and votes are saved even if the page is refreshed or reopened.
6. Implemented basic validations and confirmations:
   • Confirmations for destructive actions like deleting polls or resetting votes prevent accidental data loss.

Together, these skills make your app fully functional, user-friendly, and ready to expand with more advanced features like analytics, multiple users, or API integration.

2) Live Demo

Here’s the working version of your Poll App:

Try it out:

• Add new polls with multiple options.
• Vote for your favorite option and see the progress bar update.
• Reset votes for individual polls or all polls.
• Delete polls safely using confirmation prompts.
• Refresh the page to verify that polls and votes persist.

3) MCQs (Answers at the end)

1. Which React hook is used to store and manage the list of polls?
   a. useEffect
   b. useState
   c. useRef
   d. useReducer
2. What does the vote function do in the app?
   a. Deletes a poll
   b. Increments votes for a selected option
   c. Resets votes for all polls
   d. Adds a new poll
3. How does the app ensure polls persist across page reloads?
   a. By saving polls in a database
   b. By storing polls in localStorage
   c. By using sessionStorage
   d. By refreshing the page
4. Which component handles creating new polls?
   a. PollList
   b. App
   c. NewPollForm
   d. PollCard
5. How are poll options dynamically displayed?
   a. Using static HTML
   b. By mapping over the options array in React state
   c. Using a for loop in JSX
   d. By hardcoding each option

Answer Key:
1 → b. useState
2 → b. Increments votes for a selected option
3 → b. By storing polls in localStorage
4 → c. NewPollForm
5 → b. By mapping over the options array in React state
