Instructions

Task 1: Project Setup

• Fork this repository, then clone your fork.
• Run npm install to download dependencies.
• Run the server using npm start.
• In a separate terminal cd into the client folder and run npm install to download dependencies.
• Still inside the client folder run npm start to run the client application.

Task 2: MVP

Updating A Movie:

• Add a route at the path /update-movie/:id
• Create a component with a form to update the chosen movie
• Add a button in the movie component that routes you to your new route with the movies's id as the URL param
• The form should make a PUT request to the server when submitted
• When the call comes back successfully, reset your form state and route the user to / where they will see the updated movie in the list
• (Editing the movie stars can be a stretch problem... don't worry about it now. Move on to the next step, and come back and solve this at the end)

Movie object format:

{
  id: 5,
  title: 'Tombstone',
  director: 'George P. Cosmatos',
  metascore: 89,
  stars: ['Kurt Russell', 'Bill Paxton', 'Sam Elliot'],
}

Deleting A Movie:

• Add a delete button in the movie component that makes a DELETE request
• When the call comes back successfully, route the user to / where they will see the updated movie list without the deleted movie

Adding A Movie:

• Add a route at the path /add-movie
• Create a component with a form to add a new movie
• Each created movie should have the following format (notice the array of strings - this will test your JS skills, so work through it methodically)
• The form should make a POST request to the server when submitted
• When the call comes back successfully, reset your form state and route the user to /

Movie object format:

{
  id: 5,
  title: 'Tombstone',
  director: 'George P. Cosmatos',
  metascore: 89,
  stars: ['Kurt Russell', 'Bill Paxton', 'Sam Elliot'],
}

Task 3: Stretch Problem

• Add the ability to update the stars of a movie within a single text input field (think about how to change from an array of strings to a single string, then back to an array of strings)
• See Part 3 above (Adding movies with a POST request)
• Style the app!

Submission Format

• Submit a Pull-Request to merge <firstName-lastName> Branch into main (student's Repo). Please don't merge your own pull request
