With ReactJS at its core, it lets you design dynamic interfaces that automatically update and respond to user interactions.

TypeScript brings enhanced development productivity through static typing and intelligent tooling.

Styled Components ensure fast and intuitive styling, allowing you to create stunning interfaces effortlessly.

React Quiz App's Theme Features

Before I explain the technical aspects of the quiz app, let me share the wonderful features of the quiz app that is available in demo GitHub version. You can get all these features in a template and mold them according to your choice.

• Each time the quiz starts, questions will be shuffled or randomized.
• There will be a timer running when the quiz starts. If the timer finishes, the quiz will be stopped, and the user will be asked to see the result.
• Each question has a score. For example, a difficult question has 10 marks, and an easier one has 5.
• The template also supports three types of questions, MCQs, True/False, and MAQs.
• The result screen shows how many questions the user attempted, how much he scored, how long it took, and whether he passed or failed.
• In result screen user can see which question had the right answer and which was wrong. The user can find the correct answer in case of a wrong answer.

React Quiz App's Code Features

• TypeScript powered Components: All components are TypeScript-built for enhanced development productivity with intelligent code completion and compile-time error checking.
• Easy Theme Customization: The template provides easy theme management with IntelliSense support via Styled Components and Typescript. It allows you to customize the app's appearance without relying on hard-coded colors.
• **Flexible Question Data Structure:**The template uses Javascript/TypeScript files to define quiz questions. This format provides a structured and flexible approach. The same format can also be used to fetch questions from an API if desired.
• **Modular and Context Pattern:**The template follows a javascript modular and React Context pattern, promoting component reusability and maintainability.
• **Custom Hooks for Logic Sharing:**The hook pattern lets you share logic across components. It also promotes code reuse and minimizes code clutter.
• Built with React Best Practices: App follows industry-leading React practices. Our template ensures optimal structure, scalability, and maintainability.

How to Start a Project

To start the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repo and navigate to the project directory via terminal.
2. Run the command npm install to download and install all the project dependencies.
3. Once the dependencies are installed, run the command npm start to start the development server.

Folder Structure Explanation

Understanding the folder structure is essential for working with the app. Here's an overview of the main folders:

• assets: Contains all the app's assets, such as fonts, icons, and images
• components: Contains all the components of app
• components/UI: Contains reusable UI components of app
• context: Includes a context for sharing logic across the app
• styles: Contains styles and their configurations using Styled Components
• hooks: Includes reusable hooks used in the app
• utils: Contains Javascript helper functions
• data: Contains quiz questions and quiz topic screens data
• types: Contains TypeScript types used throughout the app
• config: Imports all the icons, providing centralized access

Components Architecture

The Xeven Quiz App consists of 4 main screens/components that are displayed conditionally (in light version):

1. Splash Screen
2. Quiz Details Screen
3. Questions Screen
4. Result Screen

The screens are organized in the components folder since the app does not utilize routing. If a component is reusable and can be used in multiple places within the app (e.g., Button, ModalWrapper, and CodeSnippet), it is placed in the components/UI folder. On the other hand, if a component is screen-specific and separated just to make other components smaller and more manageable, it is placed in the relevant components folder. For example, the components **QuizHeader**, **Question**, and **Answer** are inside the QuestionScreen folder.

How to customize the quiz layout and styling

Changing the App Theme

To change the theme of the app, follow these steps:

1. Open the styles/Themes file.
2. Modify the colors in the themes to customize the app's appearance.

Changing the App Font

To change the font of the app, follow these steps:

1. Go to assets ⇒ fonts.
2. Replace the current fonts (e.g., "anek-malayalam") with the fonts you want to use.
3. Go to fonts.module.css file ****and replace the font name and path with new font you added.
4. Go to the theme file and change the font name.
5. Go to the global styles and update the font in the body section.

Modifying the Quiz Topic Screen or Adding New Categories

To modify the Quiz Topics Screen or add new categories of topics/icons, follow these steps:

1. Open the data/quizTopics file.
2. Make changes to the titles, icons or add new topics (by adding new object in quizTopics) as needed.
3. Ensure that the title in the QuizTopic data match the topic of data/QuizQuestions folder.

For example

export const quizTopics: QuizTopic[] = [
  {
    title: 'React', // match topic value with this line
    icon: <ReactIcon />,
  },
  {
    title: 'JavaScript', // match topic value with this line
    icon: <JavaScript />,
  },
  ....
]

export const javascript: Topic = {
  topic: 'Javascript', // match value with topic key
  level: 'Beginner',
  totalQuestions: 14,
  .....
}

Adding a New Screen

This app is designed with scalability in mind, allowing you to easily add new screens. Here's how you can add a new screen, such as a "Quiz Types" screen (where you can select quiz type for example individual question timer, with or without timer):

Step 1: Create a component

Create a new component called QuizType in the components folder.

Step 2: Update the Main component

Go to the main components file (Main/index.ts) and render the QuizType screen in the screenComponents section/object. Don't forget to add the screen name in the typescript screenTypes as well.

const screenComponents = {
  [ScreenTypes.SplashScreen]: <SplashScreen />,
  [ScreenTypes.QuizTopicsScreen]: <QuizTopicsScreen />,
  [ScreenTypes.QuizTypesScreen]: <QuizTypesScreen />, // new screen  
  [ScreenTypes.QuizDetailsScreen]: <QuizDetailsScreen />,
  [ScreenTypes.QuestionScreen]: <QuestionScreen />,
  [ScreenTypes.ResultScreen]: <ResultScreen />,
}

If you have multiple conditions to show the screen, you can change the object to a switch or if-else statement. Here's an example using a switch statement:

import { useEffect } from 'react'

import { useQuiz } from '../../context/QuizContext'
import { ScreenTypes } from '../../types'

import QuestionScreen from '../QuestionScreen'
import QuizDetailsScreen from '../QuizDetailsScreen'
import QuizTopicsScreen from '../QuizTopicsScreen'
import ResultScreen from '../ResultScreen'
import SplashScreen from '../SplashScreen'

function Main() {
  const { currentScreen, setCurrentScreen } = useQuiz()

  useEffect(() => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      setCurrentScreen(ScreenTypes.QuizTopicsScreen)
    }, 1000)
  }, [])

  switch (currentScreen) {
    case ScreenTypes.SplashScreen:
      return <SplashScreen />
    case ScreenTypes.QuizTopicsScreen:
      return <QuizTopicsScreen />
    case ScreenTypes.QuizDetailsScreen:
      return <QuizDetailsScreen />
    case ScreenTypes.QuestionScreen:
      return <QuestionScreen />
    case ScreenTypes.ResultScreen:
      return <ResultScreen />
    default:
      return <SplashScreen />
  }
}

export default Main

Implementing Different Types of Quiz Questions

The Code Quiz App supports various types of quiz questions, including Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Answer Questions (MAQs), and True/False questions. To add different question types, you can modify the question components and their associated data structures. You can refer to the existing question formats in the data/QuizQuestions folder as examples when creating new questions.

For example, if you want to create a Multiple Choice Question (MCQ), you need to set its type to MCQs in the question data. Similarly, for a Multiple Answer Question (MAQ), set the type to MAQs, and for a True/False question, set it to the appropriate type as well.

Remember: For MAQs, users can select multiple answer options, while for MCQs and True/False questions, users can select only one option. Make sure to set the correct type to match the question's behavior accordingly.

Important Note

Before making the Code Quiz App your own, remember to customize the meta and title tags in the index.html file, as well as the logo, preview image, and favicon image in the public folder. This ensures that the app reflects your branding and identity.
