The Trivia Game is a fun and interactive project that quizzes users with trivia questions fetched from the Open Trivia Database API. The application is written in JavaScript and uses technologies like HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap for the user interface, and Jest, Babel, and Webpack for development.

On loading the application, a placeholder card is displayed with a "start" button. Clicking this button triggers an API call to fetch a set of trivia questions which are then rendered to the user. The user can submit their answers, after which the score is calculated and displayed. The user can then opt to play again, which resets the game state.
The project primarily consists of four JavaScript files:
-
index.js: This is the entry point of the application. It controls the overall flow of the game and handles events like starting the game, submitting answers, and resetting the game.
-
gameState.js: This module manages the state of the game, including the current questions, the user's answers, and the score.
-
UI.js: This module provides methods for creating and manipulating HTML elements in the DOM.
-
getTriviaSet.js: This module makes an API call to the Open Trivia Database API to fetch a set of trivia questions.
The application uses the following dependencies:
- Bootstrap for styling the application.
- Babel for transpiling the code.
- Jest for testing.
- ESLint for linting.
- Webpack for bundling the code.
