Available Components

This section documents all reusable React components found across the React Mini Projects collection. These components are designed to be simple, focused, and demonstrate core React patterns.

​
Shared Components

These components are used across multiple projects:

SearchBar

Input component with debounced search functionality

CustomHeader

Configurable page header with title and optional description

​
GIFs App Components

Components specific to the GIFs search application:

Grid display for GIF search results

PreviousSearches

Clickable list of previous search terms (see GIFs App project)

​
Weather Finder Components

Components for the weather application:

WeatherDisplay

Current weather and 7-day forecast display

ErrorMessage

Accessible error state display (see Weather Finder project)

LoadingSpinner

Loading state indicator with animation (see Weather Finder project)

​
Component Design Principles

All components in this collection follow these principles:
  1. TypeScript First - All components use TypeScript with explicit prop interfaces
  2. Functional Components - Modern React with hooks instead of class components
  3. Accessibility - ARIA labels and semantic HTML where appropriate
  4. Simple Styling - CSS classes for easy customization
  5. Single Responsibility - Each component has a focused purpose

​
Common Patterns

​
Props Interface Pattern

All components define a Props interface for type safety: 
interface Props {
  requiredProp: string;
  optionalProp?: number;
}

export const MyComponent = ({ requiredProp, optionalProp }: Props) => {
  // Component logic
};

​
Callback Props

Components that need to communicate with parents use callback props: 
interface Props {
  onAction: (data: string) => void;
}

​
TypeScript FC Type

Some components use React’s FC (FunctionComponent) type: 
import type { FC } from "react";

export const MyComponent: FC<Props> = ({ prop1, prop2 }) => {
  // Component logic
};
