What was one area of React you gained more clarity on during this assignment?	Hook, callback functions, states, learned more about other useful gems/tools/libraries, API calls from Rails and external API.
Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	We used ternary to display the different contents. If it is on the search page, it would have "Add" buttons. If it is on the library, it would have "Select" button.
Describe how you handled rentals with React	We used state hook to store the states of selected movie and customer. The moment when we clicked on the "Checkout" button, the event handler would trigger the callback function, then the callback function got executed and created a new rental.

Did you use any functional stateless components? What for?	Yes, We use functional stateless for all of our components.
Did you use any container components? What for?	We were not sure what the container component means. We looked at a few resources, it referred to the classical component? If that's the case, we didn't use any of that.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	More guidance on the deployment. It was difficult to write a front end in React after working on Rails for so long. Doing it in this order made it much more challenging.
