Flixster is an app that allows users to browse movies from the The Movie Database API.
- (5pts) User can tap a cell to see more details about a particular movie.
- (5pts) User can tap a tab bar button to view a grid layout of Movie Posters using a CollectionView.
This portion of the project went much more smoothly for me as I had already gotten the AlamofireImage dependency added in the previous week. I was able to understand the logic behind the collection view as well as the movie details view better and felt much more comfortable with navigating in XCode.
- (2pts) User sees an app icon on the home screen and a styled launch screen.
- (5pts) User can view and scroll through a list of movies now playing in theaters.
- (3pts) User can view the movie poster image for each movie.
During the course of this project, I learned how to access an API of movies as well as display several such movies in a scrolling list on iOS. I ran into a significant challenge while using CocoaPods and adding my AlamofireImage dependency to my project. I ended up using Carthage to download Alamofire and AlamofireImage for this project.
