How we built it

Autocomplete Module

  • import a list of words into an array called words.
  • search through list of words for a string and return list of suggestions.
  • record the string that was searched for (for stats and graphs!).

Autocomplete HTTP Server (API)

  • serve an html page with a search box.
  • expose the ac.findWords method as an API endpoint /find/:word
  • display the definition of a word when the person clicks/taps (or navigates using the keyboard arrows - for extra credits!) to their desired word.

Back end

  • create an endpoint in server.js for the format: /define/:word which uses the ac module's findWords method to lookup word suggestions and returns an array of these suggestions as the http response

  • Integrate - Search for Tweets based on the word the person looked up to give them context on how to use it.

Front end / UX

  1. Wireframe a great word searching user experience!

  2. Using the knowledge of QUnit for front-end TDD you gained in the last two weeks, build great user experience for searching words!
