For level 200, you are not allowed to work on the same codebase as you worked on for level 100.
Swap repos with a random person in your class. You do not need to coordinate your schedules.
Fork their GitHub repository to your GitHub username. You will need to give it a different name (e.g. JS3-Module-Project-Partner), because you already have a repo named JS3-Module-Project.
Clone their repository to your laptop.
Look at their level 100 implementation.
Compare their implementation to yours. Think:
- How is it different?
- What do you prefer about your implementation?
- What do you prefer about their implementation?
- What did you learn that you didn't know before?
They should do the same with your repository.
Have a discussion about your answers to these questions. In class, together you should give talk for 5 minutes about your conclusions. (Do this in small groups - we don't want to take all day).
Before implementing new features, take some time to change the codebase you're going to build level 200 in. Change anything you think will make it easier to add more features.
Some example ideas that you may want to think about:
- Could any variables or functions have more clear names, to help you understand what they do?
- Would extracting functions help make some code easier to understand?
Make a pull request to your partner's repo with any changes you want to make. Have them review, and when happy, merge your PR.
Level 200 is all about being able to filter episodes.
Add a live search input which meets the following requirements:
When a user types a search term into the search box:
- Only episodes whose summary OR name contains the search term should be displayed
- The search should be case-insensitive
- The display should update immediately after each keystroke changes the input
- Display how many episodes match the current search
- If the search box is cleared, all episodes should be shown
Send a pull request to your partner's repo with this functionality. Have them review, and when happy, merge your PR.
Note: Provided your project meets the above requirements, it can look however you want.
Here is one example layout.
Add a select drop-down which lets the user jump quickly to a particular episode, with the following requirements:
- The select input should list all episodes in the format: "S01E01 - Winter is Coming"
- When the user makes a selection, they should be taken directly to that episode in the list
- Bonus: if you prefer, when the select is used, ONLY show the selected episode. If you do this, be sure to provide a way for the user to see all episodes again.
