Movie Finder

A bare-bones clone of The Movie Database (TMDb) using React/Redux and Express.

Codebase

Full-stack JavaScript: Node.js is used to power the server and React (Create React App) to power the frontend app. All of the code you'll touch in this codebase will be JavaScript.

Stack

• React
• Redux
• React-Semantic-UI
• Node.js
• Express

Backend API

All the data is provided by TMDb. The server acts as a proxy between the React app and the TMDb API.

Setup

You need to have Node.js installed on your machine and a valid TMDb API key.

1. Clone this repository or download zip.
2. Copy .env.example to .env and paste your TMDb API key in the correct place.
3. Install dependencies: npm run setup.
4. Run for development: npm run dev.
   • Visit http://localhost:3000 if browser tab doesn't open automatically
5. Run for production: npm run build then npm start.

Running the tests

Unit & Integration

Jest is used for unit and integration testing.

• npm run test:client: Runs the tests of the React app
• npm run test:server: Runs the tests of the Node app (No tests are implemented yet! 🤷‍)

E2E

Cypress is used for E2E testing.

• npm run test:e2e: Opens the Cypress Test Runner in interactive mode.
• npm run test:e2e:run: Runs Cypress tests to completion. By default will run all tests headlessly in the Electron browser.
