Star Trek API Client

Star Trek is an American science fiction media franchise created by Gene Roddenberry, which began with the eponymous 1960s television series and quickly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. The franchise has expanded into various films, television series, video games, novels, and comic books. With an estimated $10.6 billion in revenue, it is one of the most recognizable and highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Wikipedia

This project is the front end that consumes the Star Trek Guid to Aliens api. Please take a look at the backend repo here Star Trek Guid to Aliens Repo to experience the API to its fullest.

Live long and prosper.

How It's Made

Tech used: HTML, CSS, Vanilla JS

I have been wanting to build a standalone api that anyone around the world can access. There is no fancy UI just our Star Trek API that anyone's frontend can consume.

Lessons Learned

When working with this API I had to learn the hard way on being able to consume the API. Everything was fine and dandy when the api was deployed to Heroku. The big problem occurred when I would continue getting CORS errors when making requests to the API endpoints. After doing some searches online I added the CORS dependency to be able to get the errors to no longer occur.
