- This was done as an Assignment for the discipline Introduction to Programming in Web (IPW)
- A simple web-app which allows logged in users (and w/ their IMDB API key) to search, consult and manage movies in their groups/collections and also consult the actors and the movie information
- The users can edit the name & description of the groups, delete and add movies to the groups
- The most challenging thing was avoiding hardcoded logic into the handle bars views. This is may be why other and more popular frameworks are used
Important
IMDB no longer provides free 100 API calls a day due to free plan abuse
- The back-end (server) runs with Node.js w/ the express framework (read this to know what this means) and the front-end is generated via Handlebars
- The app can either run in memory mode or database mode (the DB is elasticsearch).~In either case, the data obtained from the IMDB API is cached if running in memory or saved in the DB if running w/ elasticsearch
- For more details on how to run and the packages used. See this
