Student App with Copilot

Based on the Unit 3 Student App, this version has been modified to provide an example of how to use GitHub Copilot to generate and refactor code and tests.

The main branch is the starting point for the Copilot example. The copilot branch contains the results of running through the implementation of the Student component, some refactors, and tests using Copilot.

The major steps in the process are:

• use a Copilot prompt to generate code for the Student component
• use Copilot prompts to address issues with the generated code, such as
  • add missing imports
  • name variables appropriately
  • include proptypes
  • use good practices to apply style to the component
  • etc
• refactor StudentList using Copilot
  • call the new Student component
  • use prop destructuring
  • perform the data map inline in the JSX
  • etc
• use Copilot to write tests for the application
  • adding a student
  • changing the absence status of a student
  • etc
