Execboard

ExecBoard Component Documentation

The ExecBoard component serves as a container for rendering a list of executive board members using the ExecBoardCards component. The component is structured to display a section with a title, a description, and a grid of cards each representing a board member.

State and Effects

  • visibleMembers (array): A stateful array that holds the list of members which should be visible on the screen.
  • execBoardMembers (array): An array containing objects with details about each board member.
  • useEffect: A hook that sets up an interval to gradually reveal each executive board member card with a slight delay, providing an animation effect. The interval is cleared when the component unmounts or when all members are visible.

Rendered UI

The ExecBoard component renders the following UI elements:

  • A section with a bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 background color.
  • A title ("Meet the Emerging Coders Team") and a description paragraph.
  • A grid container that holds individual ExecBoardCards components, each representing a board member. The grid adapts to different screen sizes with responsive column layouts.

Usage

The ExecBoard component is self-contained and can be imported and used in other parts of the application. Below is an example of how to use the ExecBoard component:

import React from "react";
import ExecBoard from "./ExecBoard";
 
function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <ExecBoard />
        </div>
    );
}
 
export default App;

Component Structure

  • The ExecBoard component initializes with an empty visibleMembers array.
  • The useEffect hook sets up an interval to update visibleMembers, gradually adding one member at a time from the execBoardMembers array to the visibleMembers array every 80 milliseconds.
  • The ExecBoardCards component is used to render each member's card within a responsive grid. The isVisible prop of each ExecBoardCards component is determined by whether the member is present in the visibleMembers array, controlling the visibility and transition effect of the cards.

Dependencies

  • React
  • next-ui (for the ExecBoardCards component)

Accessibility

This component adheres to basic accessibility standards with semantic HTML elements and a clear heading structure. Further accessibility improvements can be made by ensuring that all interactive elements are keyboard-navigable and by providing appropriate ARIA attributes where necessary.

Styling

The component uses Tailwind CSS for styling, which provides utility classes to build custom designs directly in your markup. The dark mode styles are applied conditionally based on the dark class in the parent element.

Customization

To customize the appearance or behavior of the ExecBoard component, you may modify the execBoardMembers array or adjust the Tailwind CSS classes and HTML structure within the render method.
