Tip Calculator App using React, Styled Components, Grid, Mobile-First

Solution retrospective
Hi everyone,
I used React (currently learning) to build this app. I found it quite challenging due to being new to React and not knowing how to do certain things that I know how to do in vanilla JavaScript.
A few questions that would really help me out:
-
What is the best way to show which button has been selected? I thought about storing something in the state of the "tip selection" component, but I'm not sure what I should be storing, and how I would dynamically change the colour based on which button has been stored in state (would I change the prop of the selected button somehow?)
-
Any improvements in how I have organized my React code would be great, primarily the way I am utilizing components and props (I know my styled-component and JS code looks quite messy in the calculator component).
-
I also got ESLint errors "JSX Props should not use functions", but I'm not sure how else I would achieve this functionality without sending some of the functions down to child components. Any ideas on how I could avoid this error?
-
I didn't get around to adding the error states, opting to try to conduct validation in the input fields instead. If I were to add error states, would I simply use state to check if the input is valid (turning state to either true or false), and then use a conditional in the JSX to display the error message if state says the input is invalid?
Any other comments would also be appreciated!
