React

I also worked on components within the project that use Modals. I refactored and extracted the modals in them into one reusable modal component and called the new component in every place it needed to be rendered. This was a simple React task. This refactoring came with some layout distortions(CSS) which marked an end to my tasks for the week.

GraphQL

Last week, I built a microservice: a resource for a section of the landing page of the platform, which renders from a database loaded with data. In technical terms, I built and consumed an API. I used Dynamo DB (a database provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS))) to store my data, creating a table with desired fields for me to use in populating my table. GraphQL was used as playground for me to query and mutate my database. i.e. a way of creating, reading, updating and deleting information from the database, a process technically known as CRUD.

ExpressJS

Before this experience, I had worked with API's using Express and making HTTP calls to the API, hence, working with GraphQL and Amazon services was entirely new for me, but hey! What matters is that I learnt, got the job done and we have new skills in the bag; which reiterates the belief I have, being I can do all things.

AWS Lambda

I linked my database(Dynamo DB) with my playground(GraphQL) using the another Amazon web service, Lambda after having defined my environment variables. All these made up the backend side of my task(building the API and database).
