Challenge: Functional Components

Task: Creating an Encyclopedia Source

In this task, you will create an encyclopedia source of two cards. Each card will display an image and a description. The goal is to practice creating functional components and passing data to child components using props.

Instructions:

Create a Card component as a reusable card template.
In the Card component, accept the following props:
- link: The URL of the image for the card;
- alt: The alternative text for the image;
- description: The description text for the card.
Use the Card component twice in the App component to create two cards with the following content:

Card 1 (About the Sun):

Image URL: https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/code-1/react/introduction-to-react/sun.png
Alternative text: Provide an appropriate description.
Description: "The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow across the tranquil beach."

Card 2 (About the Mountain):

Image URL: https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/code-1/react/introduction-to-react/mountain.png
Alternative text: Provide an appropriate description.
Description: "The hiker gazed in awe at the majestic mountain towering before them."

Ensure that both the Card and App components are appropriately modified to display the cards correctly.

Here's a starter code with placeholders for you to complete:

You can use the same Card component for both cards and control their content using props.
To pass the URL as a prop, create a prop called link and provide the URL as its value. Enclose the value in double quotes since it's a string.
Similarly, create props for alt and description and provide the appropriate values.
To use these props within the child component Card, access them using dot notation since props is an object.
