So, I have been working on a little side-hustle and I figured that I would share the most recent chunk of it. I needed a way of allowing a person to uniquely select a movie. You don’t want to just give the user a free-form box because of the 52 different ways you could input some movie titles. So, what do you do? I created a search box, to query IMDB by title. The API returns a single result, so I displayed it below the search box, as the user types.
I wouldn’t call this an “official” API, so I would be careful.
I have been intending to revisit Pocket Joe, in the near future. When I do so, I want to include my social media feeds. No matter how much I blog, I am always going to post to Twitter and Google+ more often. So, how do you include your public Google+ feed in your app?
For this post, I created an example app that I am calling “Notes Vault.” My primary goal was to check out ngStorage but in doing so I also explored ng-options and ng-model. Let us take a look at the end result.
I have been meaning to to explore the capabilities of AngularJS a little more, so I whipped up this small demo app. It takes your zip code (hard-coded into the JavaScript file), queries a YQL API, and displays a listing of the nearest NPR stations. It is not the most unique piece of code but it gives me a chance to explore a few concepts.
In my first AngularJS post, I went through a very basic example of what Angular can do. We covered how to loop over an array. This time around, I would like to look at using ng-model to take input, how to create a basic Angular RSS reader (because that’s apparently “my thing“), and how to create modules.
I figure that it is time for me to talk a little about AngularJS. AngularJS is an JavaScript framework for creation of single-page applications. It was initially released in 2009 by Google.
