This project is open-ended! Requirements:
- Build a site that uses data from at least one external API in an interesting, interactive way.
- Replace this README with a description of the project.
- You are welcome to use any 3rd-party libraries/frameworks – just load them from a CDN (e.g. cdnjs), or put them under the
vendor/folder. - Do not commit the
client_secret(or anything else from an API that says "token" or "secret"), as a hacker could use this to make requests on behalf of you.
The JS code should be non-trivial. That being said... start simple! (Just get the data to show up on the page.) No server-side coding is required, but feel free to create a backend in whatever language if you like, if you need one.
A couple things to look for in an API (or at least the endpoints you're using) for this project:
- Make sure it doesn't require authentication/authorization (e.g. OAuth) - at least for the endpoints that you want to use - so that you don't need a server.
- If the API doesn't support cross-domain requests (JSONP or CORS), you will need to use JSONProxy.
Here is a list of API suggestions.
Get the data to show up on the page.
First pass. Get your main feature working in the simplest way possible.
Iterate!
- Refactor
- Add a new feature
- build in an object-oriented way
- automated tests
- Sinon.js fakeServer may be helpful
- fancy interactivity/animations
