Scroll Lab Part II

In this lab, you will add additional functionality to your app. 

1.3     Pending Carousel (45 Points)

In an ideal world, we would not have to accept or reject an invitation in order to see the next invitation. It would be great if we could look at all the invitations and then decide.

1.3.1     As a user I can swipe through a list of my pending invitations. (45 points)

Feel to use npm or other open-source react-native packages to implement this.  

Here is one that you might find useful: https://github.com/archriss/react-native-snap-carousel 

1.4     Display the Events for today, tomorrow & the next day (30 points) Assuming that today is 12/12/19

Once you have accepted an event it gets added to your event calendar.  The event calendar should display event cards for the current day and the next two days.

1.4.1     As a user I see an ‘add event’ button if there are no events scheduled on that day. (15 points)

1.4.2     As a user I can see the event cards for today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. (15 points)

1.5     Vertical Scrolling Event Section (40 points)

Only displaying the events for the next 3 days is limiting. A user might want to be able to view all the events in a month by scrolling up and down in that section.

1.5.1     As a user I can vertically scroll through all the days in the month. (40 points)

Your solution should not load all of the events at once. It should instead do adaptive loading and load the events only when they are needed. (You will extend this in the firebase lab,  to active adaptive loading use a flat-list. See podcast example) 

You should also handle the cases relating to a variable number of days in each month.

1.6     Horizontal Swiping by Month (40 points)

Wouldn’t it be great if users were also able to scroll horizontally?  So, they could see the dinner calendar months in advance.

1.6.1     As a user I can swipe horizontally to view the events in the upcoming months. (40 points)

You should not load all of the events for the year. But instead, you should do adaptive loading and only load the events for the next and previous month. 

It is OK. to only make the top section of the months move. 

Check the current date using State.
