Demo Simple Web Application that allows you to search Flickr interestingness photos.

Introduction

AngularJS based Flickr interestingness photos search web application. For demo purposes only!

Requirements

In order to run the app correctly you need to have the following requirements in your machine:

• NodeJS & NPM - Normally installed with one package, via their main website
• SASS - SASS compiler, please follow instructions at their main website
• Demo Flickr Photos Search Web Service - can be cloned from this repository

The procedure

After cloning this repo (and exactly this branch), you should run:

npm install

This command will install the dependencies associated to the web service and testing process.

Then be sure that Demo Search Web Service is up and running. Please follow instructions from the corresponding repository

When Search Web Service is up and running, you should exec:

npm start

This will compile main application style sass file and start app web server at port 3001.

After that, you just need to open the following address in your browser:

http://localhost:3001/

And it will load Search Web App.

Suggested further web app improvements:

• Separate main.js into several files (per module, controller, factory, directive)
• Add tests
• Use Grunt or Gulp build tasks
  • Linking, minification, etc (review Yeoman tasks)
• Support React.js
• Move searchApi url to some kind of config?
• Downloaded images size (part of src parameter) should be responsive
• Results pagination (e.g. more results load)
• Searching... spinner?
