Challenges & Learning
This is my most complex project, and it presented me with multiple challenges. The part of the program I found most difficult was the invoice creation form. This form is highly dynamic--recalculating constantly depending on the tax-status of the client, the products selected, and even the order of discounts being applied. Given React's asyncronous nature, this was a great opportunity for learning. Once this form was complete, I explored various libraries to simplify the form creation process in React and used “react-hook-form” for developing the payment form, significantly streamlining the process.
