Movie Watchlist

Description

Movie watchlist creator using the Open Movie Database API. Search movies by query and add to your watchlist.

Features

  • Search movies and TV shows and add to your watchlist

  • Interact with and retrieve results from the Open Movie Database API

Technologies Used

This project was built in React with TypeScript, and Node.js, and using the Open Movie Database API. Currently deployed here on Netlify.

Development Process & Motivation

This project started as an exercise from the Scrimba Frontend Developer Career Path. The exercise was to create a search page to query the OMDb API, where movies could be added to your watchlist. The project was an effective way to practice CSS skills and interacting with APIs.

Challenges & Solutions

As one of my first React projects, I had trouble with state, especially with using data between two different routes, but I just needed more practice.

Future Plans & Improvements

There's few improvements I have in mind besides creating a movie recommendation feature.
