WatchMe

WatchMe® is a convenient way to create a WatchList™️ that you can then share with your fellow Watchers™️®. As a new hire of WatchMe® you are tasked with building the first version of the app for your startup.

Fueled by Red Bull and free startup snacks you are determined to get this working in 90 minutes.

Instructions

For this project, you’ll be building out a React application that displays a list of shows, among other features. Try your best to find the right places to insert code into the established code base.

Part of what this code challenge is testing is your ability to follow given instructions. While you will definitely have a significant amount of freedom in how you implement the features, be sure to carefully read the directions for setting up the application.

Setup

Run npm install in your terminal.
Run npm run server. This will run your backend on port 8081.
In a new terminal, run npm start.

Make sure to open http://localhost:8081/shows in the browser to verify that your backend is working before you proceed!

The base URL for your backend is: http://localhost:8081

Core Deliverables

As a user, I should be able to:

See all the details of the shows rendered in ShowList.
Add a show from the ShowList to MyWatchList by clicking on it. The selected show should render in the MyWatchList component. The show can be added only once. The item does not disappear from the ShowList.
Remove a show from MyWatchList by clicking on it. The show disappears from the MyWatchList component.
Remove a show forever by clicking the delete button at the bottom of the each ShowCard. This should delete the show from both the backend and the frontend.
