This is a website that informs users of upcoming celestial events by fetching data from the NASA API. The MVP for this project required users to browse upcoming events and save them to and delete from a list. Additional stretch features such as improving the UI by displaying the events on a calendar instead of the list and allowing users to add personal notes for events which were viewed could be some of the next features implemented into this app.
- Please apply for an API key from NASA to run the app locally and view/run tests. Save this key in a
.envfile located in your root directory. Save your key to the following variableREACT_APP_API_KEY = "YOUR_KEY_GOES_HERE". - Fork this repository.
- Clone it to your local machine using the command:
git clone [email protected]:jalbe0076/starry-nights.git. - Run the command:
cd sarry-nights - Run the command:
npm install - Run the command:
npm start - Once the modules have finished compiling, enter
http://localhost:3000/into your browser to see the live web page. - Run
npm run cypressto run tests, the website must be running for tests to pass.
