Learn Glamorous, Greensock and Testing-library

In 2018, Kent C. Dodds wrote: "The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you." This phrase became the guiding principle for the entire Testing Library ecosystem. 

A few years later, the React Testing Library became the de facto library for writing unit and integration tests in the React ecosystem.

Thanks to its user-centric perspective, our tests are closer to our user experience and far away from implementation details.

In this course, you will learn how to:

- render your components
- properly query your UI for elements while keeping accessibility and your users' experience in mind
- improve your testing experience with the usage of some utilities
- interact with your components to fire events
- leverage asynchronous utilities to customize your testing flow
- get rid of the annoying "not wrapped in act" warning

After this course, you should be able to write and debug any test using the React Testing Library!

The `@testing-library` family of packages helps you test UI components in a user-centric way.

You want to write maintainable tests that give you high confidence that your components are working for your users. As a part of this goal, you want your tests to avoid including implementation details so refactors of your components (changes to implementation but not functionality) don't break your tests and slow you and your team down.

Testing Library accomplish these goals so you can be confident your application will work when it gets to the end user.

An Introduction to the React Testing Library

Animations attract the eye and add a higher level of engagement for your users. But they’re not easy to set up, and they don’t always look the way they should on every browser. 

Greensock is the best platform available for creating performant, highly-customizable animations. This course will walk you through the features of Greensock, including how to:

- animate an element
- manually control an animation
- animate between CSS classes

…and more, with cross-browser support to ensure your animations look sharp everywhere.

Create Amazing Animations with GreenSock

GreenSock supports all of the CSS3 3d properties, so you can freely rotate around X, Y, and Z axises with rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ. Once that's set up, you can tweak the perspective of the element with transformPerspective.

Spin Elements in 3d with GreenSock

By default, elements use their own perspective, so if you rotate multiple elements on the page the perspective will seem a bit off for each of them. The solution is to set the perspective on the container element, then each child element will follow the parents' perspective.

Sometimes you want to leave an animation looping without any user interaction. This is done using the "repeat" and "yoyo" properties combined to keep the tween moving back and forth from the start properties to the end properties.

In this lesson, we will look at Greensock's Draggable API. We will implement a scrollable `<div>` container and explore some options available.

Create scrollable DOM elements with Greensock

Modern development requires modern tooling. Rather than adding GreenSock as a script to an HTML page, we're going to install GreenSock using Yarn and set up our development environment using Parcel. This will allow us to quickly iterate and test out our animation ideas. GreenSock is abbreviated as `gsap` when importing.

Setup GreenSock as a Module with Parcel

Animating an element to a click event is as simple as passing the x and y coordinates of the click event to the properties of the `TweenMax.to` call. To be able to center the element where the mouse clicks, you also need to adjust the special xPercent and yPercent properties so the element is properly offset.

Animate and Center an Element to a Click Event with GreenSock

Rotating an element with GreenSock is as simple as changing the `rotation` property using `TweenMax`. But there's also a hugely convenient trick using the `+=` or `-+` syntax as a string that allows you to adjust based on the previous value of the rotation.

Rotate an Element Based on Previous Values with GreenSock

Animations often have multiple steps. GreenSock makes this simple with the concept of a timeline where you code each point you want your element to move to. This lesson will show you how to set up a timeline as well as pause and resume the timeline animation.

Create Animation Steps with GreenSock's Timeline

You often need to pause or resume an animation based on whether or not the current animation running. The `isActive()` getter returns a boolean that provides you with that information (the opposite information can be found with using the `paused()` getter).

Pause or Resume an Animation by Checking isActive with GreenSock

GreenSock also supports the ability to animate `from` a variable point to the current point. If you think `to` starts at a static point and moves to a variable point then `from` essentially does the opposite. `fromTo` supports the scenario where both points are variables and requires passing in a "from" set of properties and a "to" set of properties.

Animate From a Variable Point with from and fromTo in GreenSock

Each animation can be moved to a specific point in time based on the `progress` setting between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%). This lesson shows how to control the progress using the scroll wheel of the mouse which can easily fast-forward or rewind through the timeline.

Manually Control the Animation with progress in GreenSock

Any GreenSock animation can accept an array of dom elements. This lesson shows you how to easily create and tween 100 divs to the same point.

Control an Array of Elements with the Same Animation in GreenSock

There are many reasons you'd want to stop an animation from running. `TweenMax` provides ways to stop a tween of a specific element or every tween currently running, we are going to look at two of them, `killTweensOf` and `killAll`. This lesson walks you through stopping a tween by clicking on a specific element or stopping every tween and forcing them all to complete.

Stop Animations with killTweensOf and killAll in GreenSock

GreenSock enables you to animate between classes defined in your stylesheets using the `className` syntax in your tween properties. This lesson walks you through using the `mouseover`/`mouseout` and `mousedown`/`mouseup` events to add and remove css classes based on the specific event.

Animate Between CSS Classes with GreenSock

The `gsap.set()` tween (or animation container) is a zero-duration tween that instantly applies a property to an HTML element. In addition, there is a subtle but important difference between `opacity` and Greensock's `autoAlpha` properties. You will learn how to hide a menu on page load and also how to prevent the element from flashing on page load. This lesson contains Greensock's basic building blocks that are used to create advanced animations with UI elements.

To add the latest Greensock library to your project, go to [Greensock's website](https://greensock.com/). Fun fact: GSAP stands for Greensock Animation Platform, and their current latest version is GSAP 3!

A common programming convention for Greensock I like to follow is, if you're going to animate a property with Greensock, keep it in Greensock, otherwise, if you are not going to animate a property, keep it in your CSS.

Given how web pages are built nowadays, you might find yourself with multiple instances of the same element.

To avoid querying for a list of elements and then filtering them down, you can constrain your query to a specific area.

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to leverage the *within* helper to constrain our query to a specific element.

Bootstrap is an incredibly popular CSS framework designed to make your website look great on mobile and desktop.

By the end of this course, you'll be familiar with many of the popular classes and components that Bootstrap uses to apply in your own projects.

For each feature you build in the course, you'll get a sense for what the relevant classes do for those components and links to documentation for further exploration.

For the course demo application, we will analyze the landing pages of Microsoft and Apple to identify common components that are implemented. When these are identified, you'll implement these components yourself with Bootstrap.

You'll build several common UI elements such as a nav bar, a carousel of images, Cards, and Forms.

Through building these components, you'll understand what is behind the different classes Bootstrap gives you and get familiar with how it exposes flex and grid layout for you.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.
