Inspiration
Wanted to create a React-based project with an API. We had a passion for anime, so we decided this website would be the best fit.
What it does
This is a React-based wesbite that allows the user to search for anime and display various anime titles. Additionally, the user can hover over the title cards to see the year the anime was released as well as the media type of the anime.
The project uses the Jikan API to obtain results from the search input and responds to the client with all the results from the search, like images, alternate names, a synopsis, etc. We incorporated various objects like the title and year from the JSON response into our project.
How we built it
We used VS Code, Git, and React to create the website. We used various tutorials to figure out React because this was a new technology for us.
Challenges we ran into
Figuring out which API to use as well as how to use React
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a React-based project that looks decent
