USER STORY:
AS an inquisitive traveller,
I WANT to know general country information and pertinent COVID-19 data from that country,
SO THAT I can stay informed on the pandemic status of a country I may visit.

This project's goal was to work as a team to pull information from two separate APIs and display specific elements from these databases on a webpage.
When the user enters a country, the application should show the country's flag, capital city, population, the language, and currency of that country as well as the COVID-19 data, including active cases, the number of people in crital condition, total cases and deaths, and cases and deaths that have occurred this day. The application was built using the Open Disease Data API and the RESTful API while integrating javaScript event listeners, functions, and HTML styling with Bulma. Local storage was used to list previously searched countries on the sidebar.
This project helped us work together as a group, manage our time effectively, and solve problems together. We also learned a new .css framework by reviewing documentation and implemented it in our application. We solidified our understand of API fetches and promises, as well as dynamic styling and events in javaScript. Future developments may include making the returned number elements more legible (adding commas), introducing maps, making data more interactive, and including cities.
