vpvalter/react-game-search

My very first React app (plain React, no state management libraries). It is a React version of an older jQuery project of mine that demonstrates connecting to the Giantbomb video game database API

Game Search App - React version

My very first React app

• Connects to the Giantbomb video game database API and retrieves data using fetch-jsonp.
• Uses JSONP format because of CORS.
• Includes a search feature, passing the selected result to a new page using React Routes, and showing more details about the selected item.
• Plain React, no state management libraries, state is passed through props
• It is still very basic and rudimentary since this is my first time learning React. It even lacks better exception handling. I should work on it more in the future
• It only has basic styling for now, since the main focus of this project is learning React and API connectivity.

Future plans / TODO:

• QA / Better exception handling
• Figuring out pagination, since it only shows first 12 results
• Better CSS styling & possible UI improvements.
