Star Wars Rails App

Live: (https://starwars-films.herokuapp.com/)

Setup

git clone https://github.com/JaysonMandani/starwars-films.git
cd starwars-films
bundle install
rails s

Goal

Consume the Star Wars API (SWAPI) using Rails. Ensure all data is fetched on the server and rendered within the DOM. Use vanilla ES6 Javascript over jQuery where possible.

Acceptance criteria

Home screen contains a list of films pulled from the SWAPI
List should be searchable
Films can be favourited, this state should be persisted using local storage
Favourited films should appear at the top of the list
A stylised user prompt/alert should show when a film is favourited
Favourited films can be unfavourited
Film list items can be clicked to show individual film page
Film page should show all the information pulled from the SWAPI endpoint for an individual film
Film page should contain a back to home link
The list of characters should display a tooltip when a list item is hovered
The tooltip should show the character's bio pulled from the SWAPI endpoint for people
Provide public GitHub repo to source code
Host the finished project on Heroku, Surge or similar
This test is focused on demonstrating Ruby on Rails, do not sweat the styling too much and feel free to use a framework like Bootstrap or similar

Bonus points

Use the tooltip UI to show additional information pertaining to the film like vehicles, spaceships etc
Demonstrate creative and performant ways of fetching information from SWAPI
Provide a documented readme inside the GitHub repo explaining the technology used, the setup process and other relevant information
