Today’s focus was on designing the Add Post Component UI, a crucial feature for enabling users to share content on the platform. This component forms the heart of user interaction, allowing users to create and upload posts, including images and captions.
In a mentor-led session, I started by creating the frontend layout for the Add Post component. The UI design centered around simplicity and usability, ensuring that users could easily navigate the upload process. The form includes fields for uploading an image and adding a caption, with clear buttons for submitting or canceling the post.
As always, the development followed a test-driven approach (TDD), with test cases helping guide the design. This ensured that all necessary validations—like file type and size checks for image uploads—were correctly implemented. I also included proper feedback for users, such as success or error messages based on the upload outcome.
The Add Post UI was designed to be responsive and seamlessly integrate with the rest of the app, maintaining the overall aesthetic consistency. This component now lays the groundwork for future backend integration, where users will be able to share their posts in real-time.
With the frontend of the Add Post component complete, the next steps will involve connecting it to the backend, handling image uploads, and ensuring the posts are dynamically rendered on the feed.
