My solution to a coding challenge provided by a potential employer.

Challenge

Create an application that uses the OMDB API to display movie data. Movies can be searched using a search bar.

Solution

I began by creating a short description of the pages I would be building. I then created simple wireframes for these pages.

I wanted to make sure that the initial load screen displayed results, but I found that the OMDB API does not have an option for doing this. To get around this I just hardcoded an initial search for the term star wars.

Running

1. From within the root directory of this project, run yarn
2. Run the command npx cross-env REACT_APP_API_KEY=<your-api-key> yarn start
