👩‍💻 How It's Made:

Tech used: Typescript, Vite, Redux-tool-kit

FrontEnd - Used React to help create the UI components, tailwind

 

🏸 Optimizations

Things I would like to fix/add

• Add Stripe payment

• Optimize the logic for which product to recommend

• Add more products for more skin type concerns and accessibility

• Create a backend database for all the products

• Create a backend allowing users to save their quiz results

   

💖 Why I made this

The main reason why I made this project was that I wanted to learn Typescript.

I loosely followed a tutorial from 🎥 Youtube.

Since I loved skincare, I thought it would be fun to make a skincare e-commerce site instead of a simple one-page site that leads to a contact form like the tutorial.

I thought I could challenge myself. I decided to include:

• ✨ A quiz for customers to find their ideal products and customized formualtions
• ✨ A quiz to help find their skincare coutine
• ✨ Ability for customers to buy the products - aka e-commerece

 

📝 Lessons Learned:

Being Proficient at a Language

Learning and getting used to using Typescript was the biggest challenge. There were many times when I thought I knew what to do but when I included a Typescript to the recipe it became an entirely different animal. Although it was difficult, I was able to find answers or work around the problem.

One major problem I faced was using react, redux, and typescript together. Although redux and redux-toolkit is written in Typescript it was not really well documented, especially when you add redux to the formula. After extensive searching and help from others, I was able to find resources to help me apply Typescript to redux.

This taught me I still have a long journey to be proficient in Typescript, even those who are pretty good programmers can have a tough time with Typescript. I do know that getting used to using types is important. It can help create a less buggy and readable code. It is a challenge I will keep on working on.
