Since beers is one of the most demanded drinks between Ironhackers, we will create an app to display some of the best handcrafted beers. We will have something like the this:
For this project, we will be using an API so that we can retrieve the data of the beers. The root of the API is: https://ironbeer-api.herokuapp.com/beers
, and the available endpoints are the following:
Method | Endpoint | Response (200) | Action |
---|---|---|---|
GET | /all | Beers[] | Get all the beers from the DB |
GET | /single/:id | { Beer } | Get the specific beer |
GET | /random | { Beer } | Get a random beer from the DB |
POST | /new | { Message: OK } | Create a new beer (The fields are specify on the instructions) |
GET | /search?q={query} |
Beers[10] | Search with a RegEx using the query specified and return the first ten result |
On each iteration, we will explain which endpoint you should use!
The IronBeers Project will include the following features:
- A Home Page with three different options.
- All Beers
- Random Beer
- New Beer
- A List Beers Page where you should display all the beers.
- A Single Beer Page to display a unique beer by clicking on the List.
- A Random Beer Page where we display a Random Beer.
- A New Beer Page to show a form where a user can create new beers.
- Fork this repo
- Clone this repo
-
Upon completion, run the following commands:
git add . git commit -m "done" git push origin master
-
Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.
❗ At the very beginning we will offer you to shoot for the stars: as a bonus focus on mobile first design!
Easy peasy! Using create-react-app
you should build a new app. Feel free to name it as you want it, but if you need some inspiration, we called Reactive BeersJS.
Create the Home Page. The view should include three views:
/beers
/random-beer
/new-beer
Feel free about the design, but here is how we did it:
On every view (except for the home
), we should add a header with a link
to the root of the app
.
On the /beers
route, we should display all the beers from the Database. So, in this case, you need to call the API https://ironbeer-api.herokuapp.com/beers/all
. The API will return an array of Beers
objects.
You should display the following from each of the beers:
image
name
tagline
contributed_by
- Also, add the link to check the details of each beer. The link should navigate to
/beers/:beerId
.
The first time you call the API, it might take a bit to respond. It's hosted on Heroku, and it goes to sleep after 30 minutes, you know! 😉
When a user click on one of the beers, you should display a detailed view of it, including the following fields:
image
name
tagline
first_brewed
attenuation_level
description
contributed_by
On the /random-beer
route, we will render a single beer that will be retrieved from the database. The endpoint will do all the job for us, so we need to call to https://ironbeer-api.herokuapp.com/beers/random
. We should receive an object including all the info about a beer. The same way we did with the Single Beer view, we should render the following fields:
image
name
tagline
first_brewed
attenuation_level
description
contributed_by
Finally, on the /new-beer
route, we should render a form where user could create new beers. The form
should include the following fields:
- name
- tagline
- description
- first_brewed
- brewers_tips
- attenuation_level (must be a number above 1)
- contributed_by
Then, you should do a POST
request to https://ironbeer-api.herokuapp.com/beers/new
, passing all the data on the body
object. If everything went ok, you would receive a 200 response from the server.
Notice that the fields on the body
should have those specific names so the API can create a new beer.
Since we did not cover how to upload images, do not worry about that, the API will assign a random image to the new beer. 🍺
Yes! One endpoint left! On the /beers
route, add an input
where users can search for beers. Every time a new letter is typed, you should call to https://ironbeer-api.herokuapp.com/beers/search?q={query}
passing the value of the input in the q
param.
Awesome! Grab a beer (if you're not underage 😉 )! Now you are a React Warrior, keep training to become the Ninja!
Happy coding! ❤️
