Netflix Country Content Searcher

Inspiration

On Code.Org, they have a data table that features Netflix content in multiple countries. And this data table reminded me of the time of when I went to Canada for the first time, and wanted to watch my favorite Netflix show while there; only to find out that it wasn’t available on Netflix in Canada.

What it does

It allows the user to choose from a variety of countries that have Netflix, and to be able to search if their favorite shows and movies are available on Netflix in that country.

How we built it

It was built using Code.org’s “App Lab”, which uses Javascript as its primary language. We used a variety of functions to get the desirable results for the Search engine.

Challenges we ran into

When the dropdown was being created, the dropdown would list duplicate countries. After some trial and error, a function was created that removed the duplicates listed, as well as alphabetized them.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

After making the program, an Accomplishment I’m proud of is the fact it successfully lists details about the show. As well as if its not available in the country, that it notifies the user it isn’t available.

What we learned

I learned more effective ways to summarize and organize lists, as well as how to import those lists into elements in a dropdown.

What's next for Netflix Country Content Searcher

Depending on how local testing with my friends and family works out, Netflix Country Content Searcher may eventually become an actual application available on the iOS, and possibly Android appstore.
