Implement React logic with TypeScript hooks
React + TypeScript List Manager
Context
During an onsite interview, you are tasked with building a small user interface. Implement a list manager using React and TypeScript that supports adding, editing, removing, and filtering items. The solution must leverage modern React hooks and adhere to correct TypeScript typings.
Requirements
- List Functionality: Implement a list of items with the following features:
- Add a new item.
- Edit an existing item inline.
- Remove an item.
- Filter items based on a text query.
- React Patterns and Hooks:
- Utilize
useStatefor managing component state. - Employ
useCallbackfor optimizing event handlers. - Use
onChangefor input field changes andonClickfor button interactions. - Integrate
useReffor at least one uncontrolled input or for managing focus. - When rendering lists, map over items using stable, unique keys (avoid using array indices).
- Utilize
- TypeScript:
- Ensure correct TypeScript typings for event handlers (e.g.,
React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>,React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>).
- Ensure correct TypeScript typings for event handlers (e.g.,
- Explanation: Be prepared to discuss and explain the following:
- The difference between controlled and uncontrolled inputs, your chosen approach, and the rationale behind it.
- The nature of asynchronous state updates in React and when to use functional updates.
- How you pass and correctly type parameters for event handlers.
- Security: Discuss relevant UI security concerns, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and propose mitigation strategies.
- If Time Permits: Describe potential extensions to the application and outline a comprehensive testing strategy.
Assumptions
- The entire solution should be contained within a single React component for simplicity.
- Items in the list will have a simple structure:
{ id: string, text: string }. - The filtering mechanism should perform a case-insensitive substring match.
