}

function App() {
  const [quotes, setQuotes] = useState([]);
  const [quote, setQuote] = useState(null);

  useEffect(()=>{
    fetch("https://type.fit/api/quotes")
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((json) => {
      setQuotes(json)
      setQuote(json[0]);
    });
  }, []);

  function getNewQuote() {
    setQuote(getRandomQuote(quotes));
  }

  return (
    <>
       <main>
        <h1>Quote generator</h1>
        <section>
          <button onClick={getNewQuote}>New Quote</button>
          <h3>
            <span>"</span>
            {quote?.text}
          </h3>
          <i>{quote?.text}</i>
        </section>

    </>
  )
}

export default App
