What I learned

Learn alot about styling components with Styled Components, the way it generates custom classes along the ones added by the developer. Workarounds for creating specific functions and passing props along with the styling. Creating reusable components to avoid repeating code.

//fake radio button effect
for (let i = 0; i < btns.length; i++) {
  if (btns[i] !== e.target) {
    //get the current classes
    currClasses = btns[i].className.split(' ');
    //remove current class
    const cIndex = currClasses.indexOf('current');
    //remove current if exists
    if (cIndex !== -1) {
      currClasses.pop();
    }
    //set classes
    btns[i].className = currClasses.join(' ');
  } else {
    btns[i].className += ' current';
  }
}
