The following is a react based web application that allows a user to search and sort through an employee directory. It mimics an employee directory by using the very popular random user generator api.

This was a great project to work through and it really helped me to learn and understand how react worked. I learned a lot about when to use a class vs a functional component, how to use and set state, some react component lifecyle methods and much more.

Usage of the app is pretty simple. When the user views the page, they are brought to a page containing a search bar and table of all the employees in their company. Now it just shows 50 employees because that what was set as a parameter in the API call. A user can click on the name column in the employee table to sort the employees alphabetically from a-z or z-a. They can also search for a name in the search bar and the table will re-render to show the employee that matches what was typed into the search bar.
