Boilerplate for an instagram search tool

tag-search

Boilerplate for an instagram search tool as a starting point for TT App Team applicants

Getting Started

1. Install Node.js
2. Fork this repository
3. run 'npm install' to install dependencies
4. run 'npm start' to start the Node.js server
5. Go to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser

Your Task

• Implement a simple web application that allows the user to pull up the 20 most recent images for the tags 'thetatau', 'engineering', and 'computerscience'.
• Devise and Implement a simple way to switch between these tags.
• Display the resulting images in the format of your choosing.

#Notes

• We use Jade, an html templating language, on the app. To get you accustomed, we'd like you to use it here as well (in place of standard html). You'll notice the starter views are already written in jade.

Tips

• Retrieve images with the Instagram API in the backend by making HTTP GET requests to the endpoints.
• Install a Node.js library like 'superagent' or 'request' to make HTTP requests in the backend.
• Feel free to use frontend libaries like jQuery or Angular for javascript, or Bootstrap for CSS.
• Use Google.
• Ask questions.

Places where you might want to add your code

• /routes/index.js
