Creating the React.js Site

Step 1: Setting Up the React.js Project

1. Install Node.js if you haven’t already.
2. Create a new React app:

   npx create-react-app upwork-proposal-generator

1. Navigate to the project folder:

   cd upwork-proposal-generator

Step 2: Install Axios and RapidAPI SDK

We’ll use axios for API calls:

npm install axios

Step 3: Create the Proposal Generator Component

Create a new file ProposalGenerator.js in the src directory and add the following code:

import React, { useState } from "react";
import axios from "axios";

const ProposalGenerator = () => {
  const [about, setAbout] = useState("");
  const [project, setProject] = useState("");
  const [response, setResponse] = useState("");
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);

  const handleGenerate = async () => {
    setLoading(true);
    try {
      const result = await axios.post("https://upwork-proposal-generator-ai.p.rapidapi.com/endpoint", {
        temperature: 0,
        About: about,
        Project: project,
      }, {
        headers: {
          "X-RapidAPI-Host": "upwork-proposal-generator-ai.p.rapidapi.com",
          "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
      });
      setResponse(result.data.response);
    } catch (error) {
      setResponse("Error generating proposal. Please try again.");
    }
    setLoading(false);
  };

  return (
    <div style={{ padding: "20px", fontFamily: "Arial, sans-serif" }}>
      <h1>Upwork Proposal Generator</h1>
      <textarea
        placeholder="Describe yourself (About)"
        value={about}
        onChange={(e) => setAbout(e.target.value)}
        rows="5"
        cols="50"
        style={{ display: "block", margin: "10px 0", width: "100%" }}
      />
      <textarea
        placeholder="Describe the project"
        value={project}
        onChange={(e) => setProject(e.target.value)}
        rows="5"
        cols="50"
        style={{ display: "block", margin: "10px 0", width: "100%" }}
      />
      <button onClick={handleGenerate} disabled={loading} style={{ marginTop: "10px" }}>
        {loading ? "Generating..." : "Generate Proposal"}
      </button>
      <div style={{ marginTop: "20px" }}>
        <h3>Generated Proposal:</h3>
        <pre style={{ whiteSpace: "pre-wrap", wordWrap: "break-word" }}>{response}</pre>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ProposalGenerator;

Step 4: Integrate the Component

Edit App.js to include the ProposalGenerator component:

import React from "react";
import ProposalGenerator from "./ProposalGenerator";

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ProposalGenerator />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Step 5: Run the Application

Start your development server:

npm start

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser to use the application.
