## :books: General info
* Lists prices of cryptocurrencies against the US dollar - setup can be changed via http request.
## :camera: Screenshots
.
## :signal_strength: Technologies
* [Node.js v14](https://nodejs.org/) javascript runtime using the [Chrome V8 engine](https://v8.dev/).
* [React v17](https://reactjs.org/) Javascript library.
* [Axios v0.26.1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios) promise based HTTP client used to get crypto prices from axternal API.
## :floppy_disk: Setup
* API does not require an API key.
* `npm start` Runs the app in the development mode. Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view it in the browser.
* `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.
## :computer: Code Examples
* extract of `App.js` - axios http asynchronous call to cryptocurrency API.
```javascript
/*
function will be carried out once app loads
axios is promise-based so then function used
cryptocompare returns price of 3 bitcoins compared to the US $.
*/
componentDidMount() {
const fsymsList = 'BTC,XRP,BCH,ETH,ZEC,EOS,XMR,ETC,LTC,DASH,QTUM,NEO,XLM,TRX,ADA,BTS,USDT,XUC,PAX,IOT'
axios
.get('https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/pricemulti?fsyms=' + fsymsList + '&tsyms=USD')
.then(res => {
const cryptos = res.data;
console.log(cryptos);
this.setState({cryptos: cryptos});
});
}
```
