Description

  • Update the app so that gender, units, and weight are reflected in the URL as query parameters.
  • Visiting a URL with these parameters should:
    • Auto-populate the form
    • Display the correct weight class
  • Enable users to share their results via URL.
  • Handle invalid or missing parameters gracefully.
  • Consider using React Router (already installed) or URLSearchParams for implementation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
