Hey there folks!
This week I worked on The Teacher Fund unreleased website. This website is maintained by Joel Wasserman who also works at Google.
TeacherFund is a charity to support teachers in a way that encourages great teachers to stay, and potentially great teachers to choose to teach as a career path. This includes providing supplemental funds and supplies to school teachers in need.
The website is written in React using Next.js.
So this was a great opportunity for me to work with React and NextJS.
Since I am taking initial steps in contributing to the Open Source projects. I tried finding an issue which is easy to fix. It almost took me four hours to find an issue
Later, I asked for permission to work on the issue and soon, I got assigned to work on it.
Setting up the project was easy. I just forked, cloned and did ‘npm install’.
Now the goal is to add a background image to the SignIn/SignUp page.
To add a background image to React, I did some research on google and found an easy way to do it by just adding a style attribute with backgroundImage to the div.
And all I added was just one line to the div element
<div className="main-container" style={{backgroundImage:`url(${"/static/images/abc_blackboard.jpg"})`, backgroundSize:'100% 80%', backgroundRepeat: 'no-repeat'}}>
Voila…
In the end, I submitted the pull request with my changes and it got merged.
In upcoming weeks, I will be working and fixing more issue in Open Source projects and definitely will post a blog update about it.
Stay Tuned!
