This application uses the TMDB api to access information about stars.
Setting up the api will require a unique api key. You can get your own api key by creating an account on TMDB and going to the api settings.
Create a secrets.js file and a variable in the node environment that can be accessed in the api calls of the application.
Your secrets.js should look someting like this:
process.env.TMDB_KEY = "YOUR_UNIQUE_API_KEY_FROM_TMDB"
- More details about individual celebrities when selected. The user should be able to see their birthday and some of the work they've done!
- Search by movies! The user can search by a movie or tv show and see the list of the cast.
- Makeover! This is a playful application, and the design should reflect that! More colors and pictures are a must!
- Optimize the search. The search takes longer than is ideal because it takes a lot of requests to the api to get the birthdays of each star as they come up in the search.
- Routes to each individual actor and search result. Currently the url doesn't change as the user searches and select stars. That's fine for the MVP, but doesn't cut it when a user wants to navigate to their previous search.
