This Project was built as a test of how my skills progressed from being a student in the full-stack web developer bootcamp to now working as a Junior Instructor at Nashville Software School.
As a student, myself and three other teammates were able to put together the app located here. I will admit, I was able to follow the patterns that others had put in place, but it took every bit of those five days to complete just my section (Ticketmaster).
I challenged myself, solo, to complete the same project in the same five-day time frame, while simultaneously coaching students and troubleshooting their own code.
Welcome to Nashville was written in Javascript and makes use of the following APIs:
- Navigate to the directory in which you want this app to live
- run:
git clone https://github.com/BryanNilsen/WELCOME-TO-NASHVILLE.git - run:
cd WELCOME-TO-NASHVILLE - in
/scriptsyou will find the apiKeys_template.js file that looks like this:
export const apiKeys = {
"ticketmasterKey": "YOUR KEY HERE",
"zomatoKey": "YOUR KEY HERE",
"googleKey": "YOUR KEY HERE"
}
- You will need to acquire your own keys and replace YOUR KEY HERE with your personal
- Save and rename this file to apiKeys.js
This app uses json-server
If you don't have it installed already, run the following in your terminal: npm install -g json-server
navigate to /api directory and launch json-server: json-server -p 3000 -w db.json
navigate to the /src directory, where index.html lives, and launch your http server.
Overall, I'm pleased with what I was able to put together in such a short time while also helping others with their apps. Ideally, this app could benefit from some major refactoring, but as it stands, it was a great exercise to measure how far I've come since I last attempted this project.
** I was also close to fully integrating the Google Maps API, which wasn't included in the original challenge.
