Building large scale application is more difficult than many people understand or expect. Join me in this long running series where I set out to duplicate one of the most popular social media platforms ever creating using Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, PostgreSQL data, React JS web application framework and more.
In this episode we continue working on being able to edit the users profile information. We start out by creating a new edit profile modal component and add it to the profile page with ways to open and close it. Then we move onto creating the top bar component where we can close the modal as well as where the dispatch for saving the users new information is at. After we finished the top bar we added it to the new modal and made sure it looked good. Next we moved onto setting up the edit profile modal content section. In here we setup a simple function to handle when the inputs are changed, and setup the ability to see the users profile picture and banner so they can preview what their profile will look like with new images.
