Boilerplate project for interview

Welcome to Round 3 of your React Interview

This round is to test your practical knowledge of using React in real world applications. The repo serves as a boilerplate for the React application you are going to build. The boilerplate is created using vite.

Please read the below instructions carefully

---

Before starting keep in mind the below points

• The repo is configured with ESlint to check the code quality of your javascript code.
• Failing the rules set by the above linters will prevent you from committing to this repo
• The Project will show some VS Code plugins as recommendations, that help you regarding these linter, ESLint, Prettier, etc. Install these plugins for better experience. You can open .vscode/extensions.json to see the list of recommended plugins.
• This repo is pre-installed with Tailwind CSS. You can use it to style your components.
• This repo is pre-installed with React Router v6.4. You can use it to create routes in your application.
• You can install other npm packages if you want
• Upon completing the problem, commit to your FORKED github repo and share the github repo url with us for review
• Writing inline CSS is discouraged, utilize Tailwind or write your custom CSS in separate CSS files or CSS modules. You are free to use any other CSS or Component library like Bootstrap, Material UI, etc.
• UI must be responsive
• Can use any online resources to solve the problem
• Must use fetch API to make API calls instead of axios. Use JSON.stringify to convert the body to string when doing any POST request. Don't pass any headers like Content-Type or Accept in the request.
• You have a total of 2 hrs to complete the task

NOTE: You might be asked to do HTTP calls to https://codebuddy.review , the API mentioned in the Question Set will only work if you do a fetch request from the application as it served using MSW (Mock Service Worker) https://mswjs.io/. So it won't work if you try to do a fetch request from Postman or any other tool. Check for message [MSW] Mocking enabled in the browser console to confirm that the API is working.
