Expected Outcome

Objective

Build a Movie App using ReactJS.

At the end of the project, following topics are to be covered;

• HTML

• CSS

• JS

• ReactJS

At the end of the project, students will be able to;

• improve coding skills within HTML & CSS & JS & ReactJS.

• use git commands (push, pull, commit, add etc.) and Github as Version Control System.

Steps to Solution

• Before start you can watch these tutorials:

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXhf_TELP4
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDT7EnUpEoo

• Step 1 : Create React App using npx create-react-app movie-app

• Step 2 : Signup https://firebase.google.com/ and create new app in firebase. Firebase is a backed application development software that enables developers to develop iOS, Android and Web apps. It provides developers with a variety of tools and services to help them develop quality apps, grow their user base, and earn profit. It is built on Google’s infrastructure. Firebase offers a number of services, including: analytics,authentication, cloud messaging, realtime database, performance and test lab. Firebase is categorized as a NoSQL database program, which stores data in JSON-like documents.

• Step 3 : Use https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/start and create Authentication operations.
  • Add the Firebase Authentication JS codes in your firebase.js file and initialize Firebase Authentication:

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';
import { getAuth } from 'firebase/auth';

// TODO: Replace the following with your app's Firebase project configuration at project settings part
// See: https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/learn-more#config-object
const firebaseConfig = {
  // ...
};

// Initialize Firebase
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

// Initialize Firebase Authentication and get a reference to the service
const auth = getAuth(app);

• Use this method to Sign up new users :

import { getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword } from 'firebase/auth';

createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
  .then((userCredential) => {
    // Signed in
    const user = userCredential.user;
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

• Go to https://console.firebase.google.com => Authentication => sign-in-method => enable Email/password
• Use this method to Sign in existing users :

import { getAuth, signInWithEmailAndPassword } from 'firebase/auth';

signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
  .then((userCredential) => {
    // Signed in
    const user = userCredential.user;
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

• Use this method to Set an authentication state observer and get user data :

import { getAuth, onAuthStateChanged } from 'firebase/auth';

onAuthStateChanged(auth, (user) => {
  if (user) {
    // User is signed in, see docs for a list of available properties
    // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User
  } else {
    // User is signed out
  }
});

• Go to https://console.firebase.google.com => Authentication => sign-in-method => enable Google
• Use this method to Authenticate Using Google with Popup :

import { GoogleAuthProvider } from 'firebase/auth';

const provider = new GoogleAuthProvider();

signInWithPopup(auth, provider)
  .then((result) => {
    // The signed-in user info.
    const user = result.user;
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // Handle Errors here.
    console.log(error);
  });

• Use this method to Sign Out :

import { getAuth, signOut } from 'firebase/auth';

signOut(auth)
  .then(() => {
    // Sign-out successful.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // An error happened.
  });

• Step 4 : Signup https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api and get API key. In order to get data use https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=${API_KEY}, to search movies use https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=${API_KEY}&query= and to get movie details use https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/${id}?api_key=${API_KEY}. Use https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1280${poster_path} for image src.

• Step 5: You can use css frameworks like Bootstrap, Semantic UI, Material UI.

• Step 6: Add project gif to your project and README.md file.

Notes

• You can add additional functionalities to your app.

☺ Happy Coding ✍
