Would You Rather Project

This Project is Final Assessment of The FWD-Scholarship offered by the Egyptian Government in Association with Udacity on Front-End Development and Advanced Web Applications, using React & Redux.

The _DATA.js file represents a fake database and methods that let you access the data. The only thing you need to edit in the _DATA.js file is the value of avatarURL. Each user should have an avatar, so you’ll need to add the path to each user’s avatar.

I have built a React/Redux front end for the application, using the Create React App to bootstrap the project.

The Solution Consists of Adding Actions, Reducers and Middleware to successfully communicate the results and dispatch actions;
