This app was developed to query the already existing OMDB (The Open Movie Database) API, which is a RESTful web service to obtain movie information. It was try out the functional component approach of the React framework and to obtain some more knowledge on React Hooks and the Context API.
Some screenshots:
To use this project, you firstly need to generate an API key on the OMDB API's website.
When you obtain a new API key, change the environment variable, namely:
REACT_APP_OMDB_API_KEY=INSERT_API_KEY_HERE
Change the INSERT_API_KEY_HERE to your newly obtained API key.
NOTE: Do not forget to rename the .env.example to .env.local in order to be able to access the API key through the React application.
Firstly run the yarn install command (if you are using yarn), to resolve the needed dependencies, or if you are using npm, the npm install.
To start the app, simply run yarn start (if you are using yarn), or npm start (if you are using npm). This starts a local web development server, which enables hot-reload and a lot of useful features.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
