Homescreen

It contains three React components - Sidebar, TweetList and SearchBar created using Bootstrap. I used child to parent callback to toggle between various screens listed in the SideBar. For example, clicking on Bookmarks button calls sendData() which invokes the callback function to parent to change state of the parent to Bookmarks.

<button
    type="button"
    class="list-group-item list-group-item-action borderless"
    onClick={() => this.sendData("Bookmarks")}
>	
	<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faBookmark} />
    	<span>Bookmarks</span>
 </button>
 
sendData = (screenName) => {
    this.props.parentCallback(screenName);
};

Analytics charts

I created data visualisation charts using Canvas.js to show Top 10 tweets by views. I used Redux calls to get the data for top 10 tweets and then passed it to the Chart child conatiner as can be shown below.

render() {
    const options = {
        animationEnabled: true,
        theme: "light2",
        title: {
            text: "Top 10 tweets by views"
        },
        axisX: {
            title: "Tweets",
            reversed: true,
        },
        axisY: {
            title: "Number of views",
            labelFormatter: this.addSymbols,
            interval: 1
        },
        data: [{
            type: "bar",
            dataPoints: this.props.topTenTweetsByViews.dataPoints
        }]
    };

    return (
        <div>
            <CanvasJSChart options={options}/>
            <div className="container twitter-container">
                <div className="col-lg-7">
                    <ViewTweets dataFromParent={this.props.topTenTweetsByViews.tweets} isDisableButtons={true}/>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
}

Search

I added the funcationilty of searching my person or hashtag. The seach was handled on the Node.js back end using Mongoose queries.
