This is a website that uses the Yelp API in order to create a directory of locticians for black people with locs in the United States.
This application was bootstrapped with Create React App and uses ReactJS. I used the Jest testing library along with React Testing Library to test each component. I created a low fidelity wireframe, mockup, and prototype using Figma. This site uses Netlify for deployment.
In order to use this application, you can first clone down this repo using git clone
followed by the SSH url.
Navigate to the repository's location on your computer. Run the cd
command to enter the repository, then run npm install
. After this has been completed, you can run npm start
to view the code locally at http://localhost:3000 by default.
I used the below prototype created using Figma as a basis for my application.

In the future, I hope to add functionality to sort by distance, rating, or price. Another idea I'm considering is expanding the directory to work outside of the US as well - the difficulty here is the different terminology used to refer to locs all over the world.
Here's a demo of the current iteration of the site:

I've deployed the site via Netlify using continuous deployment. You can view the current site here. The backend node server is deployed continuously using Render.
