Batman Fan Page with React.js

Batman Fan Page

Fully functional, responsive, single page application, built with React.js.

Goals of the project

This project was created entirely based on my own idea, where the main goal - in addition to expressing my admiration for perhaps the most well-known hero of DC Comics - was to present my current knowledge of React.js as much as possible. During the implementation, I tried not to use additional libraries or ready-made components, but rather tried to build everything from the ground up.

Technical details

Some of the information in the project comes from the API provided by Comic Vine, but it should be noted that this API was not suitable to be automatically implemented in the project without further editing, filtering and modification. It happened that a data or data structure had to be requested in a more complicated way, because certain filters of the API did not yield results, even though the data was available - there were several forum posts about this on their website, but for now there is no prospect of a fix being made.

A significant part of the information comes from my own sources, collected data from movies and game software related to the character. In order for this data to be available to the application, I created a SQL database and uploaded the images related to the sources to my own storage.

Data from both sources - Comic Vine and my own - is served by the same server I created, from different endpoints. I have uploaded the source of this back-end code to GitHub, it is available via this link.

Thank you for reading.
