Project Detail: Independent Work

Timeline: July 2020 - August 2020

The web application Imager is an independent project that I worked on during the summer of 2020. I integrated Imgur API to develop an image host that pulls up pictures and GIFs based on tag words that the user inputs into the search bar.

The most difficult part of this relatively simple project was setting the tag word inputted into the search bar as the parameter in the query string. This was the first time I’ve worked on this specific concept, and while the solution was much simpler than I had anticipated (setting a null const input as the value), the hardest part was understanding how this worked and why this worked.

As for the lightbox feature, I used react-modal-image to provide this functionality.
