WebApp-quote-generator

I looked fear straight in the eyes and told it no more.

This is a FreeCodeCamp project that is required to be completed as part of their Front-end curriculum.

I used VanillaJS with this project instead of using JQuery or any other framework.

Here is what I learned.

  1. I learned a great deal of JavaScript and how it is used to manipulate and update the DOM.
  2. I created a AJAX call and made that into a function so I can use it anywhere that needed to fetch the JSON file.
  3. I learned how to parse JSON data into an array and then used Math.random() to fetch a random quote in the array.
  4. I also learned how to use anonymous function expressions and event listeners and used them on certain elements.
  5. I found a small neat library to create the star field from VincentvGarreau
  6. Most importantly, it was fun building this project and it greatly expanded my understanding of JavaScript and its power.
