ng-movies

Browse movies and series using the omdb API.

How to install

Clone the repository to your computer / server and execute the following commands:

npm install
bower install
gulp

This will launch the API for fetching images on port 3020 and a webserver on port 8000.

If you have a (web) server you can skip the Gulp build and just copy the files to your public_html.

Why the /api/

The API will have to run in order to fetch the images from imdb. They block cross-domain requests to their images by checking the 'Referer' header. The referer header isn't spoofable if you use XMLHttpRequest. Which Angular's $http service does at its core. All the API does is remove the referer header, make the request to the image and return it as a base64 image.
