JS211_NewfetchAPI

Choose an app you want to build (Optional: Pair up with someone based on your interests)

Create a repo using your template Clone it to one of your machines npm init Understand dotenv npm install dotenv --save require('dotenv').config() at the top of your main.js create a .gitignore file in the root folder add .env to the .gitignore file create a .env in the root folder and save your API key in it by... adding something like SECRET_KEY=abcd1234 to the .env file git add commit push... Now clone it to your partner's machine Repeat the .env file process so each of you have a copy of the API key Work in separate branches (be careful of merge conflicts) Focus on functionality first Only style after you have all the functionality working The projects can become a final project if you like. You can continue building them on your own or together. In class, however, we are just going to focus on accessing the API and doing a few simple things with the data we get back.
