This coding sample is from a larger project for a React Native mobile chess app aimed at teaching beginners common chess openings. We also created a server with a custom chess engine to play against (in Python with Flask).
The coding sample for review is the CodeSample.js
file. It is a single screen component I contributed where players can play a full chess game against a previously selected opening.
This code snippet:
- utilizes the
axios
library to handleAPI requests
to the server - uses
useState
for state management - checks
native device height
to ensure screen is appropriately sized - displays an info
button / pop-up modal
about the current chess opening and variation being played (updated via function check)
