What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)? Worked towards the standard requirements for the UI by fixing various frontend bugs, adjusting the autocomplete search bars, reformatting the moviecard list to fit the API schema, developed the popup feature to display additional details, and created the google login button. Also helped troubleshoot various issues in regards to the states/props in order to have a working demo. In addition, participated in several team discussions and brainstorming sessions for the next steps.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into? A variety of issues came up in regards to props/states and when setting up the google login button. For the props/states we had to reconfigure some of the components (movie card, movie list, sidebar, searchbar) in order to either pass or receive the necessary information for the functionality to work. For the google login, we were not initially getting any response which turned out to be a cookie/browser issue (resolved thanks to the TAs).

What do you plan to work for this coming iteration (2 weeks)? Continuing to finetune the frontend and build out further features for the user profiles (Watchlist, liked movies, etc..). Also need to get the advanced search function working.

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

Scraped data from websites to generate the Netflix movie list, implemented functions to make API requests to OMDB server, written data on MongoDB database

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?

Dealing with Asynchronous code. Also, the OMDB website was rejecting API requests when calls were made in a loop, so had to figure out how to delay iteration execution.

What do you plan to work for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?

Make backend functions to deal with advanced search

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)? Worked towards meeting the minimum and standard requirements for the project. I created the backend folder and installed express, axios, connected MongoDB atlas database and collections. I created the schemas, wrote axios for Google login, and all backend functions to store and retrieve user information from the database.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into? To make the backend more secure, I tried using a passport and hashing but kept getting errors. I was able to make the Google login work and properly store user data in the database. Moving forward, I hope to debug and make Google login using a passport work. I'll reach out to a Ta if we are still getting errors later this week.

What do you plan to work for this coming iteration (2 weeks)? Finish the backend and deploy the project

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)? Worked on the backend and frontend code to display movies from the database based on search criteria.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into? I had trouble passing the props and movies in when the backend sent the response.

What do you plan to work for this coming iteration (2 weeks)? Complete the advanced search and deploy the project.
