Simple app that searches Etsy

Searching Etsy

An all client-side and dependency-free app that searches Etsy for you. It is written completely in ES6 and transpiled with babel.

##Compatibility This site was tested on Chrome 50. Any other modern browser should work, except IE.

Deploy

npm install

Then just serve up the root directory using your favorite webserver. I used python SimpleHTTPServer.

Features

In addition to typing in the input box and searching Etsy, this app as a few other features.

Bookmarkable Search

You can navigate to the root page with the ?q=[search term] query parameter and the page will automatically search on that term.

Forward and Back

Every search utilizes HTML5 pushState() api, essentially going to a different url. This allows for the user to go back and forth between searches by going forward or back in the browser.

Infinite Scroll

As the user scrolls, automatically fetch more results.

Responsive

The the site is fairly responsive thanks to Twitter Bootstrap.
