Dessert menu with cart created with React and SASS

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I'm proud that I was able to finish this project within 2 days of starting. I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable in being able to take a design and implementing it into an web app.

Throughout the project I felt like I jumped back and forth a lot between writing the react code and then doing the css and I think next time I should plan out better in what order to do things.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

The first problem I came across was how to dynamically change the src of images for the desserts depending on size. In order to solve this issue, I learned of a way to create a custom hook that would import an image based off the url given.

The next challenge that I encountered was a bug that I created when managing state which caused some child components of that parent component to not rerender even though the props were changing inside that parent component. In diving deeper in learning about how rerenders are handled, I realized that I was using the same reference for an object when trying to change state which react then didn't recognize a change. I had to create a new instance of that reference to cause a change to state and that fixed the issue.

After that, the only small challenges I had dealt with css. It was mostly knowing what I had to do but didn't know how to do it, so after some googling it was pretty quick to figure them out.
