Defining category with mood #1

Closed sebecjeanluc closed 9 months ago

A team needs to decide how to hold the data

{ angry: ["romance", "action", "sci-fi"], sad: ['romace', 'comedy', ''] }

{ category: ["romance", "action", "horro","sci-fi"] }

For movies it seems it'll be more ideal to create an object with feelings and convert them to movie genres:

let moodArray = ["Happy", "Sad", "Excited", "Nostalgic", "Romantic", "Weird"]; // user can pick 

let moodToGenre = {
    "Happy": 35, // Comedy 

    "Sad": 18, // Drama

    "Excited": 28, // Action

    "Nostalgic": 10751, // Family

    "Romantic": 10749, // Romance

    "Weird": 878, // Science Fiction
};

What are those numbers??

cemileblks commented 10 months ago

The numbers are from the API, the API link provided in our course for movies would not allow genre as a parameter, so we'd have to write too much code to get to that. Instead I searched for another API which enabled that. However with this one every genre was number coded which was available on the documentation. So I thought for the movies section this could be the array to convert. But we probably have to use a different method for books depending on the API we get.
