For each person in your pair, describe something you learned from your partner during this project
Wini - Helping to work in one area at the time.
Brenda - I liked how we did a lot of triple programming. Both of my partners were very patient and clever!
Hannah - The process of linking together react and rails was clarified for me by my partners :)
What was one area of React you gained more clarity on during this assignment?	State and promoting it via props through multiple components. Also getting more comfortable sending params with a post request.
Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	We used the same movie component, and we used logic to determine if the movie was already in the library (with a status). Depending on the status, we used a conditional to add in the correct callback functions.
Describe how you handled rentals with React	We submitted our rental post requests from Container - this means that we had to promote the state of the selected movie or customer up through multiple levels of components. We did this so that the information would be accessible no matter which other components were being render at that time.
Describe a DOM event your application handled	OnClick in the movie component - we had two options for callback functions (per above). One of the options added a movie from the search results into our library and the other selected the movie for use in a rental.
Did you use any functional stateless components? What for?	No. Movie and customer both COULD be transformed into them though.
Did you use any container components? What for?	Nope. Container seems like it could be one, but it performs API calls and so therefore does more than just render other components.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Not at this time.
