React lab 9

Shopkart Pagination and Sorting

Business Scenario

Hello talented developers!

In the previous lab, Lab 8 — ShopKart Product Details & Dynamic Routing, you enhanced the ShopKart application by allowing users to navigate from the Product Page to individual Product Details pages. Users could view detailed product information, specifications, reviews, select quantities, and add products to the cart.

As the ShopKart product catalog grows, displaying a large number of products on a single page can make it difficult for users to find and compare products. To improve product discovery and navigation, Lab 9 will enhance the existing Product Page by introducing sorting and pagination.

In this lab, students will implement sorting options that allow users to organize products based on criteria such as price, rating, and popularity.

Pagination will divide the products into multiple pages and display only a specific number of products on each page.

Task 1 : Add Sorting Functionality

Create Sorting State

const [sortOption, setSortOption] = useState("");

Open: Add useState if it is not already imported and inside the Products component, add

Add the Sort Dropdown

<div className="sort-section">
  
  <label htmlFor="sort">Sort By:</label>

  <select id="sort" value={sortOption} onChange={(e) => setSortOption(e.target.value)}>
    <option value="">Default</option>
    <option value="price-low">Price: Low to High</option>
    <option value="price-high">Price: High to Low</option>
    <option value="rating-high">Rating: High to Low</option>
    <option value="rating-low">Rating: Low to High</option>
    <option value="popular">Most Popular</option>
  </select>
  
</div>

Create a dropdown that allows users to select how products should be sorted. The dropdown will provide options for price, rating, and popularity.

Create a Copy of Filtered Products

Before sorting the products, create a copy of the filtered product list. This prevents the original product array from being directly modified by sort().

After your existing filteredProducts logic, add:

let sortedProducts = [...filteredProducts];

Implement Price Sorting

Use JavaScript's sort() method to arrange products according to their price.

if (sortOption === "price-low") {
  sortedProducts.sort(
    (a, b) =>
      Number(String(a.price).replace(/,/g, "")) -
      Number(String(b.price).replace(/,/g, ""))
  );
}


if (sortOption === "price-high") {
  sortedProducts.sort(
    (a, b) =>
      Number(String(b.price).replace(/,/g, "")) -
      Number(String(a.price).replace(/,/g, ""))
  );
}

if (sortOption === "price-low") { --> Checks whether the user selected Price: Low to High or Price: High to Low.

.sort((a, b) => ...) compares two products at a time.

String() and .replace() remove commas from prices like "12,499".

Number() converts the price into a number for proper comparison.

a - b sorts low to high, while b - a sorts high to low.

Implement Rating Sorting

Allow users to arrange products according to their customer rating.

if (sortOption === "rating-high") {
  sortedProducts.sort( (a, b) => b.rating - a.rating );
}

if (sortOption === "rating-low") {
  sortedProducts.sort( (a, b) => a.rating - b.rating );
}

Implement Rating Sorting

Use the number of reviews as the popularity indicator. Products with more reviews will be considered more popular and will appear first.

if (sortOption === "popular") {
  sortedProducts.sort(
    (a, b) => b.reviews - a.reviews
  );
}

Display the Sorted List

Replace the existing filteredProducts.map() with sortedProducts.map() so the Product Page displays the products according to the selected sorting option.

filteredProducts.map((product) => (

Change :

sortedProducts.map((product) => (

To :

sortedProducts.length > 0

Also change the condition to :

Style the Sort drop-down

Task 2 : Add Pagination

const product = productDetails.find(
  (item) => item.id === Number(id)
);

Handle an Invalid Product ID

useParams() gives the product ID from the URL as a string, such as "3".
Our product data stores IDs as numbers, such as 3.
Number(id) converts "3" into the number 3.
.find() searches the productDetails array for the product whose ID matches
that number.
The matching product is stored in product, which we then use to display its details.

In ProductDetails.jsx, immediately after the previous code add :

if (!product) {
  return (
    <main className="product-not-found">

      <h1>Product Not Found</h1>
      <p> The product you are looking for does not exist. </p>

      <Link to="/products">
        Back to Products
      </Link>

    </main>
  );
}

Add the Dynamic Route in App.jsx

Now we need to tell React Router that /products/:id should open ProductDetails.jsx.

Immediately after the Products route, add:

<Route
  path="/products/:id"
  element={
    <ProductDetails dispatch={dispatch} />
  }
/>

Test the Route Before Building the UI

Inside ProductDetails.jsx, after the product check, add:

return (
  <main>
    <h1>{product.name}</h1>
  </main>
);

Open: /products/1

Try opening a product ID that is not present in the product details data.

Task 2 : Create the Complete Product Details UI

Now replace the temporary:

return (
<main>
<h1>{product.name}</h1>
</main>
);

with the complete Product Details page.

Add Product Overview

<section className="product-overview">
  <div className="product-image-section">
    <img src={product.image} alt={product.name} />
  </div>

  <div className="product-info-section">
    <p className="product-category">{product.category}</p>
    <h1>{product.name}</h1>
    <p className="product-brand">Brand: {product.brand}</p>

    <div className="product-rating">
      ⭐ {product.rating}
      <span>({product.reviews} reviews)</span>
    </div>
    <p className="product-short-description">{product.shortDescription}</p>
  </div>
</section>

Add Pricing

Add this inside the product-info-section div, after the short description.

<div className="product-pricing">
  <span className="current-price">₹{product.price.toLocaleString("en-IN")}</span>
  <span className="original-price">₹{product.originalPrice.toLocaleString("en-IN")}
  </span>
  <span className="discount">{product.discount} OFF</span>
</div>

Immediately after the pricing section add:

<div className="product-availability">

  <strong> {product.availability} </strong>
  <p>  Free delivery available on eligible orders. </p>

</div>

<div className="purchase-section">
  <div className="quantity-section">
    <span>Quantity</span>
    <div className="quantity-control">
      <button type="button" onClick={() => 
         setQuantity((previous) => Math.max(1, previous - 1))}>−</button>
      <span>{quantity}</span>
      <button type="button" onClick={() => 
        setQuantity((previous) => previous + 1)}>+</button>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div className="purchase-buttons">
    <button className="add-cart-btn" onClick={handleAddToCart}>Add to Cart</button>
    <button className="buy-now-btn" onClick={handleBuyNow}>Buy Now</button>
  </div>
</div>

Add Quantity and Purchase Buttons

const handleAddToCart = () => {

  for (let i = 0; i < quantity; i++) {

    dispatch({
      type: "ADD_ITEM",
      payload: product
    });

  }

};

Create the Add to Cart Handler

After the if (!product) block, add:

Create the Buy Now Handler

const handleBuyNow = () => {
  
  for (let i = 0; i < quantity; i++) {
    dispatch({
      type: "ADD_ITEM",
      payload: product
    });
    
  }
  
  navigate("/cart");
};

Add Product Description

Now we move outside the Product Overview.

Immediately after: </section> of .product-overview, add:

<section className="product-description-section">
        <h2>Product Description</h2>
        <p> {product.description} </p>
</section>

Add Key Features

Immediately after the Product Description section:

<section className="product-features-section">

  <h2>Key Features</h2>
  
  <ul>
    {product.keyFeatures.map(
      (feature, index) => (
        <li key={index}> {feature} </li>
      )
    )}

  </ul>

</section>

Add Specifications

Immediately after the Key Features section:

<section className="specifications-section">
  
  <h2>Specifications</h2>
  
  <div className="specifications-grid">
    {Object.entries(product.specifications).map(([key, value]) => (
      <div key={key}>
        <strong>{formatKey(key)}</strong>
        <span>{value}</span>
      </div>
    ))}
  </div>
</section>

Add FormatKey()

Immediately after the buy now handler :

const formatKey = (key) => {

  return key
    .replace(/([A-Z])/g, " $1")
    .replace(/^./, (letter) =>
      letter.toUpperCase()
    );

};

Object.entries() is used to convert the product.specifications object into an array of key-value pairs, so we can easily loop through it using .map().

Add Customer reviews

Immediately after the specification section add :

<section className="product-reviews-section">
  <h2>Customer Reviews</h2>
  <div className="reviews-list">
    {product.customerReviews.map((review, index) => (
      <article className="review-card" key={index}>
        <h3>{review.name}</h3>
        <p className="review-rating">⭐ {review.rating}/5</p>
        <p>{review.comment}</p>
      </article>
    ))}
  </div>
</section>

This converts keys such as:

wheelType

Wheel Type

Style the entire product details page

Task 2 : Make Product Cards Open Product Details

Now we connect the existing Products page to the new Product Details page.

When the user clicks a specific product card, the application should use that product's ID to open its corresponding Product Details page.

Each product card is connected to its own product ID, ensuring that the details displayed

belong to the product selected by the user.

For example :

User clicks Samsung Galaxy M14 5G
↓
Product ID = 1
↓
/products/1
↓
Product Details page opens
↓
Samsung Galaxy M14 5G details are displayed

Open Products.jsx At the top, find your existing imports add:

import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";

Then inside the Products component add :

 const navigate = useNavigate();

Add the Dynamic Link

Find the existing product card inside your .map().

You currently have something similar to:

<div className="products-grid">
              {filteredProducts.length > 0 ? (
                filteredProducts.map((product) => (
                  <div className="product-card" key={product.id}>
                  .....
                  ....

Change the card so that it navigates to the selected product:

<div className="products-grid">
  {filteredProducts.length > 0 ? (
    filteredProducts.map((product) => (
      <div className="product-card" key={product.id}>
       
        <div
          className="product-image"
          onClick={() => navigate(`/products/${product.id}`)} >
          {product.discount && (
            <span className="discount-badge"> -{product.discount} </span>
          )}

          <button className="wishlist-button" onClick={(e) => e.stopPropagation()} >
            ♡
          </button>

          <img src={product.image} alt={product.name} />
        </div>

        <div className="product-info" onClick={() => navigate(`/products/${product.id}`)}>
          <small>{product.category}</small>

          <h3>{product.name}</h3>

          <div className="rating">
            ⭐ {product.rating} <span>({product.reviews})</span>
          </div>

          <div className="product-price">
            ₹{product.price} <del>₹{product.originalPrice}</del>
          </div>

          <button
            className="add-cart-button"
            onClick={(e) => {
              e.stopPropagation();

              dispatch({
                type: "ADD_ITEM",
                payload: product
              });

              setAddedProductId(product.id);

              setTimeout(() => {
                setAddedProductId(null);
              }, 2000);
            }}
          >
            {addedProductId === product.id ? (
              <>✓ Added to Cart</>
            ) : (
              <>🛒 Add to Cart</>
            )}
          </button>
        </div>
      </div>
    ))
  ) : (
    <div className="no-products">
      <h3>No Products Found !</h3>
      <p>Try changing your filters.</p>
    </div>
  )}
</div>

Add Product Card Tooltip on hover

<div className="product-card" key={product.id} title="Click for more info">

Just add title="Click for more info" to your .product-card:

Task 3 : Create Not Found Page for Invalid Routes

We build a Not Found page to handle situations where a user visits a URL or route that does not exist in the ShopKart application.

/about, /contact, /login, /register

Suppose ShopKart has these valid routes:

Now imagine a user enters:

/offer, /shop, /abc123

These routes do not exist in ShopKart.

So, instead of showing a blank page and making the user confused about what went wrong, the 404 Not Found page clearly informs them that the requested page or route does not exist and provides an option to navigate back to a valid page.

This makes the application more user-friendly and provides proper error handling for invalid routes.

Create NotFound.jsx in pages folder

import React from "react";
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
import "./NotFound.css";

function NotFound() {
  return (
    <div className="not-found-page">
      <div className="not-found-container">

        {/* 404 Illustration */}
        <div className="not-found-illustration">
          <img src="/images/not-found-cart.png" alt="Shopping cart" 
           className="not-found-cart" />
        </div>

        {/* 404 Message */}
        <h1>Oops! Page Not Found</h1>

        <p className="not-found-description">
          Looks like this page went shopping and never came back.
        </p>

        <p className="not-found-subtext">
          The page you're looking for doesn't exist or may have been moved.
        </p>

        {/* Buttons */}
        <div className="error-buttons">
          <Link to="/" className="home-button">
            Back to Home
          </Link>

          <Link to="/products" className="products-button">
            Explore Products
          </Link>
        </div>

      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

export default NotFound;

Style the NotFound page

Click here for : NotFound.css

Add NotFound.jsx route in App.jsx

<Route path="*" element={<NotFound />} />

* is a wildcard

The * symbol means any path.
It allows the route to match URLs that don't have a specific route.

We are done with this lab. The latest source code has been uploaded to GitHub. You can access the latest commit using the link below:
