Installation

To create this site, we first had to create a working search bar and an accompanying search button. Then we had to create an onclick function in our Javascript that would call the information needed from our api(s)

Usage

The website updates in real time with the total number of U.S. COVID-19 cases directly on the UI of the html. To find out the information of different states in the U.S., simply type the name of the state within the search box, making sure to start the state name with a capital letter (ex: CORRECT = "Texas"; INCORRECT = "texas"). After doing so, the data from the searched state should render onto the html just under the present data.

Credits

The api used for total country data is from Postman: COVID19 API

The api used for individual state data is from fellow developer Ted Slesinkski: Github Profile

We would also like to credit the help of the Stack OverFlow community, and of course the help of our instructor and TA's.
