Movie Tracker

Project Description

Movie Tracker is a web application built for anyone that would like to save their favorite new releases. Its easy-to-use interface makes it quick to use and remember your favorite movies. Users have the ability to create an account and log in to add or remove their favorite movies.

Current Version:

Getting Started

These instructions will get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for usage and testing purposes.

Create a movie tracker folder locally:

mkdir movie-tracker

Clone the project within your new directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/dForDeveloper/movie-tracker.git

Additionally, clone this repo within the movie-tracker directory for the backend, following all associated instructions:

https://github.com/turingschool-examples/movie-tracker

After the backend is set up, start the backend server locally:

$ npm start

In a new terminal window, change directories to the frontend folder to install modules within:

$ npm install

Start the frontend server with the following command:

$ npm start

Finally, view the application at localhost:3001 in your browser. Enjoy!

Project Development Notes:

Movie Tracker was built using React, React Router, Redux, and Redux thunks. It stores user login information and favorites via a local server. As an introduction to multi-page applications, the learning goals included becoming familiar with Router and Redux. Our team especially focused on writing simple, straightforward React code (including streamlined fetch requests).

Future Development and Extensions Notes:

In the future, we would like to deploy the project with a server-side backend. We would like to do this via node.js and Heroku.
