This project is a demo of a movie search app. It uses an API to search for movies and display the results. The most interesting functionality is FINDR, a movie recommendation system based on cards that the user can swipe left or right on to indicate their preference on the movie shown. This will update the results shown to the user, as well as influence search results.
“SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is a framework used to evaluate a company's competitive position and to develop strategic planning and strategic management. SWOT analysis assesses internal and external factors, as well as current and future potential.”
The resources and experience readily available to you. What the company already has.
- Strengths. What factors are going well? What gives us an advantage in the marketplace over our competitors? What do our current resources excel at? Is the return on investment worth it?
- Weaknesses. What factors did not go well? What gives us a disadvantage in the marketplace or among our competitors? What are the weaknesses of our current resources? Is the return on investment less than optimal?
External forces influence and affect every company, organisation and individual. External factors are typically things you or your company do not control.
- Opportunities. What is going on outside the organisation to capitalise on? How does your business fit into this context?
- Threats. What things are happening outside the organisation that can negatively impact our business?

Vue.js (commonly referred to as Vue; pronounced "view") is an open-source model–view–viewmodel front end JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It was created by Evan You, and is maintained by him and the rest of the active core team members.
Vue.js features an incrementally adaptable architecture that focuses on declarative rendering and component composition. The core library is focused on the view layer only. Advanced features required for complex applications such as routing, state management and build tooling are offered via officially maintained supporting libraries and packages.
TypeScript is a free and open source high-level programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript and adds optional static typing to the language. It is designed for the development of large applications and transpiles to JavaScript. As it is a superset of JavaScript, existing JavaScript programs are also valid TypeScript programs.
Vuex is a state management pattern + library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a centralized store for all the components in an application, with rules ensuring that the state can only be mutated in a predictable fashion.
