Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm install

Run npm install to install all the dependencies ( except the devdependencies ) mentioned in package.json .

npm start

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.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

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.

npm run eject

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.

Project Overview

Do you like memes? Most people do, so if yes, the idea of developing a meme generator would surely get you going. Being new to React, you can build a simple meme generator that instantly allows users to create memes.

The idea here is to use an API to fetch random meme images and then allow users to place custom text at the top and bottom of the image.

You need to add two different input fields in your meme generator, i.e.:

1st one for the text at the top and the 2nd one for the text at the bottom of the image. You can also create a database of your own to store meme images and fetch images from the database.

Also, you can enhance the functionality of the meme generator by allowing users to create and log in to their accounts, save memes, and share them on different social media platforms.

Example

final_2

Available Formats

Users can request .jpg instead of .png for smaller files :

Format Example

  1. PNG : PNG sample
  2. JPEG : JPEG sample

Custom Dimensions

Images can be scaled to a specific width or height using the width= and height= query parameters. If both are provided (width=&height=), the image will be padded to the exact dimensions.

Templates

The list of predefined meme templates is available here: https://api.memegen.link/templates/

Custom Backgrounds

You can also use your own image URL as the background.
