You can grab an API key [here](https://www.giantbomb.com/api/). Search for games by title. Add and remove games from your shopping cart.\n\n![app screenshot](docs/images/screenshot.png)\n\n## Technologies Used\n- React\n- Redux \u0026 Sagas\n- Moment.js\n- Node\n- Express\n\n## Requirements\n- Git\n- NPM (Node Package Manager)\n- Nodemon\n\n## Setup and Run\n```bash\n# 1. Install project dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# 2. Write your API key into a file named .env\ntouch .env \necho 'API_KEY=\u003cyour-giant-bomb-api-key\u003e' \u003e\u003e .env\n\n# 3. Start the client (Runs on localhost:3000)\nnpm run client\n\n# 4. Start the server (Runs on localhost:5000)\nnpm run server\n```\n\n**Client:** [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)\n\n**Server:** [localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000)\n\n## Features\n\n### Completed Features\n- [x] Search for games using the Giant Bomb API\n- [x] Displays a list of games with an image, a short description, release date, etc.\n- [x] Select games from list to add a copy to shopping cart for rental\n- [x] Remove items from shopping list or 'checkout' removing all items\n- [x] Redux store keeps the two pages synchonized\n- [x] Proxy server and environment variables keep the API key hidden from client-side users\n- [x] Search strings use URL encoding to handle special characters\n\n### Future Features\n- [ ] Unit testing\n- [ ] Controls to configure results per page and to scroll forward/backward thru pages\n- [ ] Filtering options to refine searches based on gaming platforms or user reviews\n- [ ] Using a redux persistence library to allow the user to return to search results after following a 'more' link\n- [ ] User authentication\n- [ ] Database to save users shopping carts between sessions\n- [ ] Limiting API requests from Giant Bomb to only the essential fields. This might produce faster queries.\n- [ ] Interface with a second 3rd-party API to get game rental prices or to allow renting games\n- [ ] Improving the organization of the project's CSS possibly using styled-components or a CSS preprocessor\n\n## References\n- [https://www.giantbomb.com/api/documentation/](https://www.giantbomb.com/api/documentation/)\n\n## Author\nMike Stockman","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmes32%2Fgame-filter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmes32%2Fgame-filter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmes32%2Fgame-filter/lists"}
