CodePen Training – Mastering CodePen: Building the New Project Screen

🔥 In Part 12 of the Mastering CodePen series, we design and implement a “New Project” screen—a clean and responsive interface where users can create and save new projects, with full integration to Firestore and Redux.

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ Designing a modern “New Project” form layout using HTML/CSS or Tailwind
✔️ Creating input fields for title, description, tags, and project type
✔️ Using controlled components with React + Redux for state management
✔️ Validating form inputs and displaying real-time error messages
✔️ Submitting form data and saving new projects to Firestore
✔️ Displaying feedback using toast/snackbar messages
✔️ Associating each project with the logged-in user’s ID
✔️ Redirecting or clearing the form upon successful submission

💡 Why This Screen Matters:
🔹 It’s the starting point for any user-generated content flow
🔹 Strengthens your full-stack knowledge: form → state → cloud DB
🔹 Reinforces best practices in form UX, validation, and state control
🔹 A perfect real-world example of a CRUD “Create” action
