react-router-movies's Introduction

Client Side Routing w/ React Router v.5

Topics:

Fork this repository, then clone your fork.
NOTE You have 2 servers that you will be running here so read these instructions carefully.
In the root of this directory: Run npm install to download dependencies.
Run the server using npm start or node server.js. (Don't worry too much about this process, you'll get used to doing this and it will be explained more in the future).
In a separate terminal cd into the client folder and run npm install to download dependencies.
Still inside the client folder run npm start to run the client application.
Once your application is up and running on the client, you should see a browser window that looks like this at localhost:3000 (although the port number will be different if 3000 is being used).

Wrap your app with the router.
Inside your App file add two routes.
- one route for / that loads the MovieList component. This component will need the movies injected into it via props.
- one route that will take an id parameter after/movies/ (ex: /movies/2, /movies/3 where the id is dynamic). This route should load the Movie component.

Make it so that the card in MovieList is a link, this should direct the user to the /movies/{id of movie here} URL, where :id is the id of the individual movie.
When a user clicks on a movie card they should be taken to /movies/{id of movie here} to see the details for the selected movie.
You will need to modify line 13 of Movie.js in order to accept the correct id for the movie selected.
Add functionality so the Home button on the SavedList component navigates back to home.
You should now be able to navigate back and forth between the individual movies and the home screen.

If you have completed Parts 1 & 2 feel free to move on to these stretch goals.

You may notice that we are using essentially the same exact JSX code in the Movie component and the MovieDetails component in MovieList.js create a new component in MovieCard.js that returns this JSX code. Then remove the old code from Movie and MovieDetails and instead return the new MovieCard component.

You will notice there is a 'Saved Movies' component that we are not currently using. In this step you will add the functionality to save a movie. You will need to pass the addToSavedList function to the Movie component. Once you have done that you will need to add a click handler to the save button. You will need to uncomment lines 24-27 in Movie.js to complete this.
