For this project, I used the popular library React to create an image gallery app that fetches images from flickr using axios. Routes are set up with React Router for default topics/tags (Lakes, Mountains, Trees) and a search route which enables the user to search for photos of their choice.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
A live version of this project can be found here.
- JavaScript
- React
- React Router
- Create React App
- Axios
- Flickr API
- Download or clone from Github
- Copy
Config.jsfrom./installto./srcand add your flickr API key - run
npm install - run
npm startto start the development server. The website can then be accessed locally by pointing the web browser tolocalhost:3000
- Added flickr photo title both as
altandtitle(tooltip) attributes - Added transition hover effects to all buttons using flickr brand colors
- Added a 404/not-found route
- Added a component that displays a friendly message if a search doesn't produce any results
- Added a flickr spinner from https://loading.io (CC0 - Creative Commons license)
- Added an error route in case of a fetch or network error
In the project directory, you can run:
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.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
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.
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.
