Find a way to promote / publish local news stories in the national online press so that your local community is represented in the news agenda and people in your area can stay informed in local events.
The Solution
- This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
- The React App enabled us to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application.
- The app provides multiple pages to view content based on categories like business, sports , tech etc.
- It also provides content based on location which is crucial for publishing local news at national level.
- We used API Gateway for API GET methods which in turn executes the AWS lambda functions for providing the JSON objects at the endpoints
- These endpoints source data from the AWS RDS instance which collects the data from external API’s.
- The app achieves its objectives through highlightig top news based on each location, assigning a higher rank to the articles thus allowing these to be accessed prior to other news articles.
- The higher ranked articles are then rendered in the national new section
- To begin, clone the GitHub repository
- Navigate into the Project file and run
npm install - Then run
npm start
