I gave you an assignment to make the UI a little more friendly using Apollo's error
and loading
states.
To take advantage of the loading
state, we can disable the button and change the text when the mutation is loading:
<button
type="button"
disabled={!description || loading}
onClick={addHabit}
>
Add{loading ? "ing..." : ""}
</button>
We can also display the error message above the form:
{error && <p>Error! {error.message}</p>}
This lets the user know there's a problem, since create-react-app
development errors will be hidden during production.
By the way, you can see that for yourself by running npm run build
and then using a server like http-server
to just run those files:
npm install -g http-server
cd habit-tracker
npm run build
http-server ./build
Are you ready for that habits list to refresh automatically? I know I am. Let's learn about that next.
