Assignment 4 for DevClub IITD's session on Javascript & APIs

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Tasks

Task 1: Moodle+

You must have used moodle in your first semester, and observed it required you to solve a simple math question as a CAPTCHA.

Now, build a chrome extension which will solve this question automatically!

Task 2: Wordle+

The current implementation of Wordle is based completely on the front-end javascript code, so it is possible to find the answer by looking at the main javascript file of that page. Try doing this yourself!

This is not a secure way, so we are going to make a simple API, where the user can only make requests to our server with the guess, and the server returns the feedback response. This way, the user will not be able to directly hack the secret answer out of the program

Task 3: Covid Stats

It has been almost 2 years since the pandemic started, and you must have been regularly checking data of how many covid cases happened today and in the last few days. There are large datasets available on this, and many APIs have been developed with which you can easily fetch this data for your own analysis.

One such repository is by John Hopkins University, and there are some helper APIs like covid19api.com which make it convenient to fetch data from it. See the documentation and select Javascript in the language, and instead of console.log, save the response string in a variable and then parse it using JSON.parse

TODO

  • Your task is to fetch this data and then visualise it using ChartJS library. Work in the boilerplate index.html and script.js files.
  • You can also use your HTML/CSS designs from DevClub-Assignment1 in this assignment to make your page look nice, and host it using GitHub Pages. You can even use the frameworks which were allowed in the bonus task
  • Your webpage should atleast show a basic summary of total cases and cases today Globally and in India
  • Draw the chart of last 30 days cases in India

Bonus

You can think of more useful data points to display, and also try to give more controls in the chart, allowing the user to select the number of days they want to see, and maybe even select the location to global, or country-wise or state-wise. Feel free to show your creativity in this
