This project is a React based catalog built as the capstone project for the Microverse React module coursework. It is meant to emulate the Bat Computer's resource cataloging stats of both Heros and Villians.

Project Description

The project is a react catalog app designed to display resources fetched from an API. It fetches a list of Superheroes and Supervillians that can be filtered by name and displays data upon click selection.

Features

• Lists Heroes and Villians from throughout the MultiVerse
• Easy searching by typing into the search bar.
• Return to catalog display by clicking a bat symbol or typing into the input bar.
• Dynamic URL creation displays the name of the selection as an extension of the webpage url
• Image border displays Blue for Heroes
• Image border displays Red for Villians

Coming Features

• Enhanced search filters
• Increased catalog inventory

Built With

• Atom
• Ubuntu
• Node.js / npm
• React / React-DOM / Redux / React-Router
• React-Create-App
• JavaScript ES6 / HTML / CSS

To Use

• To look for a character, simply scroll down or begin a search
• Searches do not begin with the first letter of a character's name, for example typing 'star' would return both Firestar and Star-Lord
• Clicking on a character card will display the stats of that character
• Clicking the bat symbol will return your search to the full directory of characters
• Typing into the search bar will continue a search of the full directory, even from the character stats display page
