Unrekt Crypto Tracker

Project Overview

This project displays the prices and other information of 100 cryptocurrencies. It also allows the user to like a crypto and add it to their favorites list. Once the user likes it the price and quantity of the coin is saved to the local database. The Portfolio.js component displays the user's current holdings, the Coin.js component displays the details of each coin and the Favorites.js component displays the users favorited coins.

We used React to create the project and CoinGecko API to access the crypto data.

This project was challenging as we recently started learning React but it was also a great learning opportunity as we both are interested in cryptocurrency. How to set up the project

How to use Crypto Tracker:

• Clone the repo to your machine, and run npm install && npm start
• To get the server up and running run the following command: npm run start:server
• Endpoints are the following: http://localhost:4001/favorites http://localhost:4001/portfolio
• Currently, you must manually delete data from /favorites and /portfolio endpoints if you want to reset your stats and favorites

Crypto tracker and free and open source, so add any additional features you'd like!
