Tip Calculator using React

Last Updated : 22 Sep, 2023

In this article, we will create a Tip Calculator using ReactJS. This project basically implements functional components and manages the state accordingly using the useState and useEffect hook of ReactJS. The user enters the Bill Amount, Tip Percentage and the number of persons then the output will render dynamically which shows the tip amount per person and total amount(including bill amount) per person. There is also a RESET button that we can render back to the initial state.

Prerequisites and Technologies:

Approach:

Tip Calculator component that calculates and displays tip amounts and totals per person based on user input for bill amount, tip percentage, and number of people. It includes interactive input fields, predefined tip percentage options, and a custom input option. The component updates tip calculations in real-time using the useEffect hook and allows users to reset the input fields to their default values with a reset button, providing a simple, interactive, fully responsive and practical tool for calculating tips in a user-friendly manner.

Steps to Create the Project:

Step 1: Set up React project using the command

npx create-react-app <<name of project>>

Step 2: Navigate to the project folder using

cd <<Name_of_project>>

Step 3: Create a folder “components” and add four new files in it and name them TipInput.js, TipResult.js, TipCalculator.js and TipCalculator.css.

Project Structure

The updated dependencies in package.json will look like this:

{
  "name": "tipcalculator",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.17.0",
    "@testing-library/react": "^13.4.0",
    "@testing-library/user-event": "^13.5.0",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-scripts": "5.0.1",
    "web-vitals": "^2.1.4"
  },
}

Example:

App.js: This file imports the TipCalculator components and exports it.
TipInput.js: Handles user input for bill amount, tip percentage, and number of people, providing a user-friendly interface for entering data.
TipResult.js: Calculates and displays the tip amount per person and the total amount per person based on user input, providing a clear presentation of the calculated results.
TipCalculator.js: Serves as the main container component, incorporating both the TipInput and TipResult components, along with a reset button to reset input fields, creating a complete and user-friendly tip calculator application.
TipCalculator.css: This file contains the design of the TipCalculator.js elements.
