I really wanted to challenge myself and wanted to develop something that will help me practice working with API requests. So I ended up starting an Advanced level challenge from frontend mentor and WOW a challenge I definitely got. Coding and creating the pages, components and styles were fine but adding the functionality was difficult indeed. After many errors and bugs, I finally managed to get it to work! However, it may need a little bit more work and maybe some refactoring in the future. Other than that, it was fun to code and I have learnt quite a lot doing this challenge.
Note to anyone attempting this challenge: Optional chaining (?.) and Nullish coalescing operator (??) will be your best friend!
