Uses the Magic: The Gathering API to fetch random cards, and display and search

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Magic: The Gathering Card Finder

Purpose

Random card generator built from the MTG API. Fetches cards from the MTG database, and displays them using their ImageUrl. Cards can then be searched by name using the search bar.

Tech used

  • React
  • CSS3
  • JS
  • Magic: The Gathering API

Features

  • Fetch up to 20 cards from the MTG database
  • Cards are random, refresh to get more cards
  • Filters out cards which don't have an ImageUrl
  • Loader for awaiting cards and data
  • Basic error messages for 'no cards found'
  • Type in the Search bar to find cards containing those values
  • Responsive design
  • Free MTG Wallpaper and Logo.png use in design

Improvements

  • Segment out Error as a separate component, and define conditional errors within that component to make the code in App.js leaner
  • Instead of having to refresh screen, add a "Generate Cards" button
  • Currently searches Legendary, and Creature cards: expand in the future
  • Add a selector to search cards by colour
  • Have a feature to save cards you are interested in
  • Possible future opensource project if there is enough interest

If you have an idea for this project, or would like to contribute, please drop me a message. I am open to ideas and collaboration.

To run the project on your machine, please download the code, cd into the folder, and run npm start in terminal

To run a production build, please run npm build in teminal

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

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!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
