Need debugging help on my first Javascript project

Code Help

I am an (old) new coder. Haven’t coded for nearly 20 years but finally the AI dream that I imagined two decades ago seems to upon us so I’m trying to jump back in. I wrote a design spec and fed it to ChatGPT and it spit out some code that seemed to make sense to me as it walked me through it, but once I loaded it here, it doesn’t work. Not to mention, I don’t really understand how this IDE and Ghostwriter really work.

Honestly I guess I’m just looking for some kind soul who will spend 15-20 minutes with me looking through the code and helping me understand some basics of the UI of this tool.

THANKS FOR BEING KIND AND PATIENT.

Are you using Node.js?

It’s my intention to do so, but I’m not sure if I set this up properly. How would I know?

I’m sorry that I’m sooooo green here. I don’t want to waste your time but I certainly appreciate it

Is that repl private?

In your src/Topic.jsx file you seem to be trying to import an SVG file: import topicBubble from "./topic-bubble.svg";. This file doesn’t seem to exist however looking through your files.

Does React allow importing SVG files?

I don’t know, that was the second thing I was thinking… If this is GPT generated code, it’s possible it’s trying to do something impossible and it’s hallucinated this import structure.

Edit: a quick Google search shows it is possible, however seems it may require some configuration. :man_shrugging:
