This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Live demo

Here

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.

Notes on the Code

Fetching data

At the moment there is no caching implemented on the data collected from the Unsplash API. The pictures live in the global store under the key pictures. Each time a search is performed the results will be stored on the same key of the store and the previous data lost. Each time the use navigates to the home page, a new request for the latest pictures is made.

Data model

Each picture got from the api is represented like the below example. The same object is used to store the favourites in the local storage. In the comments in the code we refer to this structure as the "picture object". It does not find a parallel in the propTypes definitions since only few fields are used. However, it is kept in it's full form for future developments.
