For each person in your pair, describe something you learned from your partner during this project	Maja: Angela showed me how to use a generically named prop to pass in a variety of functions. Angela: I had never previously written a customized validation in a rails model before, and Maja wrote one for movie creation.
What was one area of React you gained more clarity on during this assignment?	Passing functions as props through multiple child components. The process of a front-end with React interacting with a separate backend is a lot less intimidating now.
Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	We used one component to render a movie but passed in different props (ie, different functions under a generic prop name like "callBack").
Describe how you handled rentals with React	We tracked customer and movie info in the state, then read from the state and made POSt request with axios.
Describe a DOM event your application handled	We handled clearing the status messages with a click event that triggered a state change for the Status component (and subsequent rendering) that cleared the last status lingering on screen.
Did you use any functional stateless components? What for?	We used stateless components but did not use the functional component syntax.
Did you use any container components? What for?	No.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	We spent a significant amount of time refactoring the API. And while it was a good learning experience, it did create a lot of confusion. So our recommendation is refactor the code in the wrapper a bit (ie, change how the images are constructed based on how the image url is coming in).
