Personal Catalogue: React, Express & MongoDB — Chapter 4, Exercise 1
=====================================================================

TASK
Build the full AddItemForm component with FIELD_CONFIG covering all
four types, wire it into App.jsx, and create one real item of each type
through the actual UI, confirming each one via GET /api/items.

SOLUTION

src/fieldConfig.js:

  export const ITEM_TYPES = ['Book', 'Cd', 'Dvd', 'Bluray'];

  export const FIELD_CONFIG = {
    Book: [
      { name: 'author', label: 'Author', required: true },
      { name: 'isbn', label: 'ISBN' },
      { name: 'publisher', label: 'Publisher' },
      { name: 'tags', label: 'Tags (comma-separated)', isArray: true },
    ],
    Cd: [
      { name: 'artist', label: 'Artist', required: true },
      { name: 'tracklist', label: 'Tracklist (comma-separated)', isArray: true },
    ],
    Dvd: [
      { name: 'director', label: 'Director' },
      { name: 'runtimeMinutes', label: 'Runtime (minutes)', type: 'number' },
      { name: 'regionCode', label: 'Region Code' },
    ],
    Bluray: [
      { name: 'director', label: 'Director' },
      { name: 'runtimeMinutes', label: 'Runtime (minutes)', type: 'number' },
      { name: 'resolution', label: 'Resolution', options: ['1080p', '4K'] },
    ],
  };

src/components/AddItemForm.jsx (full component):

  import { useState } from 'react';
  import { ITEM_TYPES, FIELD_CONFIG } from '../fieldConfig';

  export default function AddItemForm({ onCreated }) {
    const [itemType, setItemType] = useState('Book');
    const [shared, setShared] = useState({ title: '', releaseYear: '', notes: '' });
    const [typeFields, setTypeFields] = useState({});

    function handleTypeChange(e) {
      setItemType(e.target.value);
      setTypeFields({});
    }

    function handleTypeFieldChange(name, value) {
      setTypeFields((prev) => ({ ...prev, [name]: value }));
    }

    async function handleSubmit(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      const payload = {
        itemType,
        title: shared.title,
        releaseYear: shared.releaseYear ? Number(shared.releaseYear) : undefined,
        notes: shared.notes || undefined,
        ...typeFields,
      };
      for (const field of FIELD_CONFIG[itemType]) {
        if (field.isArray && typeof payload[field.name] === 'string') {
          payload[field.name] = payload[field.name].split(',').map((s) => s.trim()).filter(Boolean);
        }
      }
      const res = await fetch('http://localhost:4000/api/items', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify(payload),
      });
      if (!res.ok) {
        const { error } = await res.json();
        alert(error);
        return;
      }
      const created = await res.json();
      onCreated(created);
      setShared({ title: '', releaseYear: '', notes: '' });
      setTypeFields({});
    }

    return (
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        <label>
          Item Type
          <select value={itemType} onChange={handleTypeChange}>
            {ITEM_TYPES.map((t) => <option key={t} value={t}>{t}</option>)}
          </select>
        </label>

        <label>Title
          <input value={shared.title} onChange={(e) => setShared({ ...shared, title: e.target.value })} required />
        </label>
        <label>Release Year
          <input type="number" value={shared.releaseYear} onChange={(e) => setShared({ ...shared, releaseYear: e.target.value })} />
        </label>
        <label>Notes
          <input value={shared.notes} onChange={(e) => setShared({ ...shared, notes: e.target.value })} />
        </label>

        {FIELD_CONFIG[itemType].map((field) => (
          <label key={field.name}>
            {field.label}
            {field.options ? (
              <select
                value={typeFields[field.name] || ''}
                onChange={(e) => handleTypeFieldChange(field.name, e.target.value)}
              >
                <option value="">Select...</option>
                {field.options.map((opt) => <option key={opt} value={opt}>{opt}</option>)}
              </select>
            ) : (
              <input
                type={field.type || 'text'}
                required={field.required}
                value={typeFields[field.name] || ''}
                onChange={(e) => handleTypeFieldChange(field.name, e.target.value)}
              />
            )}
          </label>
        ))}

        <button type="submit">Add Item</button>
      </form>
    );
  }

src/App.jsx:

  import AddItemForm from './components/AddItemForm';

  export default function App() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Personal Catalogue</h1>
        <AddItemForm onCreated={(item) => console.log('Created:', item)} />
      </div>
    );
  }

Testing all four types through the real UI, one at a time:
  Book:   title "Clean Code", author "Robert C. Martin", tags "Programming, Software"
  Cd:     title "OK Computer", artist "Radiohead"
  Dvd:    title "Seven Samurai", director "Akira Kurosawa", runtimeMinutes 207
  Bluray: title "Blade Runner 2049", director "Denis Villeneuve", resolution "4K"

Run with: npx nodemon server.js (backend) and npm run dev (frontend, in
catalogue-web), then submit each item through the browser form
Output: each submission logs "Created: {...}" in the browser console
with a real _id; a follow-up curl http://localhost:4000/api/items
returns all four documents, each carrying only the fields its own type
actually has.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
----------------------------
It builds the form exactly as the chapter's own field-configuration
approach describes (one component, one config object, no per-type JSX
duplication), wires it into the app with a real onCreated callback, and
proves all four types genuinely work by creating and verifying one real
document of each, rather than testing only one type and assuming the
others behave the same.
