Update: 2021-12-04

Here are today's updates

• Firebase configured and populated with some very basic pizza-data
• Configured SCSS-support and absolute imports
• Added authentication using google accounts
• Did some very basic querying to fetch pizzas from firebase.
• Added some dependencies for firebase and styling
• Added basic components and have worked on the "challenge" finally

I encountered a lot of issues with my CI/CD workflow, the massive amounts of commits might show that :) This turned out to be a git/local de-sync where my components-folder had lower-case locally and uppercase in the repository.

I have not implemented typescript, my reasoning for that is that I have not worked with it enough and that it would make everything go much slower since I am unexperienced with it.

Next update I will set up some kind of state management, probably will use reacts context API. Been reading up on pros/cons using this vs a dedicated state manager (i.e. Redux) and the cons (mostly performance) won't matter in such a small app. However, if I notice performance drops, I will use memoization to reduce the amount of draw calls.

I will also implement ordering business logic with some pizza-customizations to tweak prices depending on sizes and toppings. Hopefully, I can get a finished prototype in a couple of days.

Thanks for the update! Sounds like a really good plan and good choices. Have a good night!
