Introduction to Quote Generator and Its Purpose
What is Quote Generator and Its Purpose?
A Quote Generator is a simple web application that displays a random quote to the user, with the quote’s author. Each time you request a new quote (usually by clicking a button), the app fetches a fresh quote from a source (in our case, an API) and updates the display.
We’ll use the Dummy JSON API (a free API for quotes) to provide the quote text and author. Every time the user clicks “New Quote,” the app will fetch a random quote from Quotable and display it. This makes the app’s content dynamic and ever-changing, illustrating the power of connecting a React app to live data.
Aim of the Project
The aim of this project is to learn by doing – by the end, you will have a working Random Quote Generator app and a solid understanding of how it was built. The project’s objectives include:
- Reinforcing React Fundamentals
- Using Hooks (useState & useEffect)
- Working with an External API
- Building a Clean UI with CSS
- Deployment and Workflow
By achieving these objectives, a beginner will not only build a fun little app but also gain confidence in the typical development process: coding, debugging, styling, and deploying a React application.
