sable-brie: An Unsplash Sample App

Remix on Glitch

This sample app fetches a random photo from the Unsplash API! If you provide it with a search query, it'll choose the random photo based on that info.

Click the remix button at the top of this README to get your own copy of the Glitch project!

Next, you'll need to sign up for a Unsplash Developer Account if you don't already have one, and then create an app on Unsplash for access to their API. Give the app the same name as your remixed project (in this case, my app on Unsplash is called sable-brie).

Once you've done that, get the Access and Secret Keys from your application's dashboard (look under the 🔑 Keys section), drop them in your remixed project's .env file, and you're ready to go.

Click Show in the header to see your app live. Updates to your code will instantly deploy and update live.

The Project

On the front-end,

  • edit public/client.js, public/style.css and views/index.html
  • drag in assets, like images or music, to add them to your project

On the back-end,

  • your app starts at server.js
  • add frameworks and packages in package.json
  • safely store app secrets in .env (nobody can see this but you and people you invite)
    • Add your Unsplash app's Access Key to APP_ACCESS_KEY
    • Add your Unsplash app's Secret Key to APP_SECRET

Made on Glitch

Glitch is the friendly community where you'll build the app of your dreams. Glitch lets you instantly create, remix, edit, and host an app, bot or site, and you can invite collaborators or helpers to simultaneously edit code with you.
