Getting user input from text field

[ShinnoT]

About

• the idea here is to dynamically fetch the user's input in the home page and then redirect them to the /search/:search_query path with possibly a loading spinner in between

Possible steps

• fetch user input
• save input as props (url param /:search_query)
• redirect to the search result path

I started this for you - if you check Home.js file you will see how I save the user input in the component state and onSubmit is where you would start writing your logic --> onSubmit function is triggered when user hits enter

open your browser inspector and check the console, when you type something in the search field of the website and hit enter, it should display in the console what you just typed. instead of just logging it, now your job is to use the user input value and call the api to actually search wikipedia

sorry, shouldve included pics on what im talking about. here you go: as you can see if i type something and hit enter (submit), then it displays it on the console, but instead of displaying the user input, we want to do something with it. in this case call the api to search for wikipedia articles with the users search query (the user input)
