this week was our first project. On our own we are required to create our own website that fetched data from an API.
I decided on a joke generator (https://icanhazdadjoke.com/api), more like corny dad jokes but I like it. Starting the project was easy, I planned out the design of the website first. Grabbed a color scheme from this site https://coolors.co/ and started creating divs in my html file.
Do you where it started to get complicated? When i tried to center a div. It took me hours to figure out how to do it but it was my own design flaw. Once that got resolve I started working on the fetch.
Hours of troubleshooting and googling later i managed to fetch the data and display the search results. All in all this was fun. I love solving puzzles and figuring this out really pushed my to learn and implement what i learned.
What did i learn? Better naming for my variables. I got very annoying during the fetch process and named one fjoke. Another one is adding comments to better explain my code. For my first project Im proud of it. Enjoy! https://jokegeneratorproject.netlify.app/
