Build a personal finance app using React.js - Part 1

 Building a personal finance management app using React.js and CSS involves the following steps:


Set up a React.js development environment: Install Node.js and create a new React project using the create-react-app command in the terminal.

npx create-react-app my-finance-app

Install dependencies: Install necessary packages like react-router-dom, axios, and react-bootstrap.

npm install react-router-dom axios react-bootstrap

Create a folder structure: Create folders for components, assets, and API files.


├── src

│   ├── components

│   ├── assets

│   ├── api

│   └── App.js

Create a navigation bar: Use the React-Bootstrap Navbar component to create a navigation bar.


import React from 'react';

import { Navbar, Nav } from 'react-bootstrap';


function Navigation() {

  return (

    <Navbar bg="dark" variant="dark" expand="lg">

      <Navbar.Brand href="#">My Finance App</Navbar.Brand>

      <Navbar.Toggle aria-controls="basic-navbar-nav" />

      <Navbar.Collapse id="basic-navbar-nav">

        <Nav className="ml-auto">

          <Nav.Link href="/">Home</Nav.Link>

          <Nav.Link href="/transactions">Transactions</Nav.Link>

          <Nav.Link href="/budgets">Budgets</Nav.Link>

          <Nav.Link href="/settings">Settings</Nav.Link>

        </Nav>

      </Navbar.Collapse>

    </Navbar>

  );

}


export default Navigation;

Create a Home page: Create a Home component that displays a welcome message and a summary of the user's finances.

import React from 'react';


function Home() {

  return (

    <div>

      <h1>Welcome to My Finance App</h1>

      <p>Here's a summary of your finances:</p>

      {/* Display summary of user's finances */}

    </div>

  );

}


export default Home;


Create a Transactions page: Create a Transactions component that displays a list of the user's transactions.


import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';


function Transactions() {

  const [transactions, setTransactions] = useState([]);


  useEffect(() => {

    axios.get('/api/transactions').then(response => {

      setTransactions(response.data);

    });

  }, []);


  return (

    <div>

      <h1>Transactions</h1>

      <table>

        <thead>

          <tr>

            <th>Date</th>

            <th>Description</th>

            <th>Amount</th>

          </tr>

        </thead>

        <tbody>

          {transactions.map(transaction => (

            <tr key={transaction.id}>

              <td>{transaction.date}</td>

              <td>{transaction.description}</td>

              <td>{transaction.amount}</td>

            </tr>

          ))}

        </tbody>

      </table>

    </div>

  );

}


export default Transactions;


Create a Budgets page: Create a Budgets component that displays a list of the user's budgets.


import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';


function Budgets() {

  const [budgets, setBudgets] = useState([]);


  useEffect(() => {

    axios.get('/api/budgets').then(response => {

      setBudgets(response.data);

    });

  }, []);


  return (

    <div>

      <h1>Budgets</h1>

      <table>

        <thead>

          <tr>

            <th>Category</th>

            <th>Budget Amount</th>

<th>Spent</th>

<th>Remaining</th>

</tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

{budgets.map(budget => (

<tr key={budget.id}>

<td>{budget.category}</td>

<td>{budget.amount}</td>
