Viewing Party

About This Project

Viewing Party is a Rails web application in which users can explore movie options and create a viewing party event for themselves and include other users of the application. This repository is an extension of the Turing Viewing Party Lite Pair Project with additions of authentication, authorization, and session features. The Movie Database(TMDB) API endpoints are used to power movie searches and render various movie data to the user.
