mdewey commented 6 years ago

This weekend, you will pair up in groups of 2 to create a "Now Playing in Theatres" website. This will use an API, and few pages to display what is currently showing.

Objectives

Work with an API to display data
Work with React and React Router
Work in groups to create a project together

Requirements

Use this API https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/introduction
- You will have to create an account to get a key, Feel free to use the address and phone number of campus to sign up with
Work in groups of 2, these must be decided by end of "Review at Two"
Each group will be working on one repository, decide in each group who's account it goes under
Use React Router to create the pages.

Note: This might include prerequisites or setup instructions.

Explorer Mode

[x] Create a home page that has:
- [x] the list of all "now showing" movies, returned from this API https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/now_playing?api_key=<<your key here>>>&language=en-US&page=1
- [x] this page should also random highlight a random "now showing" movie at the top of the page
[ ] Create a /Movie/:moveidId page that shows all the details for a given movie and the cast of the movie. The cast end point is https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/<<<Movie Id>>>/credits?api_key=<<your key here>>>
[x] Each member of the group must still submit the repository for their assignment. This repository should have commits from both students.

Adventure Mode

[ ] Add a page to view all the movies for actor. This page should show as much as you get from the API about this actor. HINT: Use the People section of the API for this

Epic Mode

[ ] Do the same thing, except with TV Shows. Try to reuse as many components as possible

Recommended Practice:

Plan early and communicate! The most successful teams work together to create a plan of attack, and commincate what is going on
Wireframe out the pages first, that way each member of the group knows the end goal. Stick to the wireframes.
Work in branches or forks. This will help when you need to merge everything together
Like making a git commit, merging & pulling should happen frequently. Do not wait until Monday night to try to merge everything together
