Pretty self explanatory - send kudos to your friends, colleagues and loved ones!
Ah, see, that's a good question... I don't really know! It was mostly because I thought it would be fun to build!
Took a lot of inspiration from https://foaas.com/ 👈 but, you know, its the opposite.
The application itself consumes its own API through SWR
Which leaves us with two entry points
All things http://localhost:3000/api/v1 onwards refers to the API. The API handles all things related to fetching data from Giphy and formatting back a correct message for the UI
All things http://localhost:3000/ (without /api) refers to the UI itself.
They both share query params as the UI sends them to the API
For example:
UI 👇
http://localhost:3000/kudos/John%20Doe/Great%20Work/?gif=true&customMessage=&gifTag=congratulations
API 👇
http://localhost:3000/api/v1/John%20Doe/Great%20Work/?gif=true&customMessage=&gifTag=congratulations
Once you've cloned this repository, go ahead and run
yarn
or
npm i
Then, since this is a Next.js application simply run
yarn dev
or
npm run dev
YES PLEASE! - Sorry I lost my cool for a second. I would love to see more people contribute to this project. I believe it has some potential 😊
