pwhittle86 / bucketlist

A stylised bucket-list application, designed to build experience on working with JavaScript and APIs. Created with @angelinalblyth and @rodders110.

Bucket List

In your groups, create an application to make a 'bucket list' of countries you want to visit.

This is not a paired programming exercise. It's a chance to use Git and work seperately on different features of your app before group projects next week.

• Use the rest countries API to get the countries of the world.
• Add countries to a bucket list.
• Persist this list using Mongo.
• Try to split your client code into models and views. Think about the responsibilities of each.

Possible extensions:

• Add a Leaflet Map with markers for countries on the bucket list
• Add more detail to the bucket list items - e.g. landmarks you want to visit or the season you want to visit in. Persist these to Mongo too.
• Style the app

Show and tell is at 3pm Thursday, where every group will be asked to talk about their experience.
