week3.day3.visData

Instructions

1. Use command line to create a new project folder called “visData”
   • Create your typical website directory layout, including a “data.js” file
2. Go to https://randomuser.me/api
   • This website offers a simple service - it returns JSON data with random user information (the names, numbers, passwords, etc. are not real!)
   • Take a moment to see how the data is structured.
   • You’ll be using data like this to make a website!
3. Look at the documentation to see how you would request multiple users
   • The URL would look something like “https://randomuser.me/api/?results=5”
4. Make a request for anywhere between 10 and 30 users
5. Copy ALL of the JSON (Ctrl + A then Ctrl + C) and paste it into the “data.js” file storing it into a variable called data
   • In your “index.html” file, I would recommend referencing the “data.js” file and THEN a “main.js” file, which is where you’ll write your code. It’s a good idea to keep data and data manipulation separate!
6. Using everything you know about creating and designing websites, the DOM, event handlers, and objects, you will create a single web page that displays the JSON data in any way you see fit
7. Before you begin…
   • Wireframe your concept
     • Consider the following:
       • What information do you want to display? Some of it? All of it?
       • You can go to https://randomuser.me/ and see an example of visualizing one user
       • How would you visualize 10+ users?
       • The urls for the pictures work, so feel free to use them!
     • Once done, present your wireframe to your instructional team for approval.
       • If your wireframe is not approved, make any necessary revisions and try again.
   • Once approved, you may begin creating!
