The Shoppies

Welcome to my submission to the Shopify Fall 2021 Web Developer Intern Challenge!

To run this app after cloning:

  cd the-shoppies
  npm install
  npm start

Challenge Prompt:

Shopify has branched out into movie award shows and we need your help. Please build us an app to help manage our movie nominations for the upcoming Shoppies.

Challenge Technical Requirements:

• Search results should come from OMDB's API.
• Each search result should list at least its title, year of release and a button to nominate that film.
• Updates to the search terms should update the result list
• Movies in search results can be added and removed from the nomination list.
• If a search result has already been nominated, disable its nominate button.
• Display a banner when the user has 5 nominations.

Extras

We were challenged to expand a bit on one or two extras for the site to function better. For my first extra, I decided to save the nominations into local storage, so they persist even when a user leaves the page. For my second extra, I noticed the API only returned 10 movies at a time. I added pagination and a tracker of the total amount of search results.
