Introduction

THIS GOOD APPLICATION FOR LOOKING AT DOGS BOW WOW.

WHEN LOOKING AT PUP PUPS USER SHOULD BE ABLE TO:

  • CLICK ON DOGS IN THE DOG BAR TO SEE MORE INFO ABOUT THE GOOD PUPPER;
    • MORE INFO INCLUDES A DOG PIC, A DOG NAME, AND A DOG BUTTON THAT INDICATES WHETHER IT IS A GOOD DOG OR A BAD DOG;
  • CLICK ON GOOD DOG/BAD DOG BUTTON IN ORDER TO TOGGLE PUP GOODNESS;
  • CLICK ON "FILTER GOOD DOGS" BUTTON IN ORDER TO JUST SEE GOOD DOGS OR SEE ALL DOGS IN DOG BAR.

EXAMPLE

Showcasing the full functionality

STEP 1: VIEW THE DATA

All of the dog data is stored in the db.json file. You'll want to access this data using json-server. If you don't have json-server installed already, install it first with:

$ npm install -g json-server

Then run the server:

$ json-server --watch db.json

This will setup the data on a server using RESTful routes at http://localhost:3000/pups. Go ahead and head to that URL in your browser to view the data. Familiarize yourself with the attributes for each pup. Try going to /pups/:id to see an individual pup as well.

STEP 2: ADD PUPS TO DOG BAR

On the page, there is a div with the id of "dog-bar". When the page loads, use fetch to get all of the pup data from your server. When you have this information, you'll need to add a span with the pup's name to the dog bar (ex: <span>Mr. Bonkers</span>).

STEP 3: SHOW MORE INFO ABOUT EACH PUP

When a user clicks on a pup's span in the div#dog-bar, that pup's info (image, name, and isGoodDog status) should show up in the div with the id of "dog-info". Display the pup's info in the div with the following elements:

  • an img tag with the pup's image url
  • an h2 with the pup's name
  • a button that says "Good Dog!" or "Bad Dog!" based on whether isGoodDog is true or false. Ex:
<img src="dog_image_url" />
<h2>Mr. Bonkers</h2>
<button>Good Dog!</button>

STEP 4: TOGGLE GOOD DOG

When a user clicks the Good Dog/Bad Dog button, two things should happen:

  • The button's text should change from Good to Bad or Bad to Good
  • The corresponding pup object in the database should be updated to reflect the new isGoodDog value

You can update a dog by making a PATCH request to /pups/:id and including the updated isGoodDog status in the body of the request.

BONUS! STEP 5: FILTER GOOD DOGS

When a user clicks on the Filter Good Dogs button, two things should happen:

  • The button's text should change from "Filter good dogs: OFF" to "Filter good dogs: ON", or vice versa.
  • If the button now says "ON" (meaning the filter is on), then the Dog Bar should only show pups whose isGoodDog attribute is true. If the filter is off, the Dog Bar should show all pups (like normal).
