Next I stole open sourced data from KostaSav and Daniel. And put them inside a folder called db inside project root.

If you are interested: here’s the website and the GitHub Repo.

import { useEffect, useState } from "react"; import axios from "axios"; import "./App.css"; import InfiniteScroll from "react-infinite-scroll-component"; import CharacterCard from "./components/Card"; function App() { const [characters, setCharacters] = useState([]); const [page, setPage] = useState(1); const [hasMore, setHasMore] = useState(true); const [totalPages, setTotalPages] = useState(1); const fetchData = async () => { if (page == totalPages + 1) { setHasMore(false); return; } // <-----------------------------------------------> // waiting for 1 second before fetching data to show loading spinner, you can skip this await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); // <-----------------------------------------------> const res = await axios.get( `https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/character?page=${page}` ); setCharacters((prevPosts) => [...prevPosts, ...res.data.results]); setTotalPages(res.data.info.pages); setPage((prevPage) => prevPage + 1); }; useEffect(() => { fetchData(); }, []); return (

This project was conceived as a coding challenge and a demonstration of integrating modern web technologies into a cohesive application. The core of this project involves leveraging GraphQL to interact with the open-source Rick and Morty API, a task I often set for potential hires.

export const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({ uri: "https://rickandmortyapi.com/graphql", cache: new InMemoryCache({ typePolicies: { Query: { fields: { characters: { keyArgs: false, merge(existing: Characters, incoming: Characters) { return { ...incoming, results: [ ...(existing?.results || []), ...(incoming?.results || []), ], } satisfies Characters; }, }, }, }, }, }), });

Hello, my fellow CS students! Are there any Rick & Morty fans here? Because I've just created an app called Portalpal for my final project. It's a fun little app designed to explore the Rick & Morty universe. With Portalpal, you can view, search, paginate, and filter characters. Additionally, you have the option to filter characters by episodes and locations. For the data, I utilized the rickandmorty API, which you can check out here: https://rickandmortyapi.com/. If you'd like to give it a try, here's the link to my app: https://portalpal.vercel.app/. I built it using React 18, and it took me about a month. I'm really proud of how it turned out! If you're interested, you can also find the source code for the app on my GitHub repository: https://github.com/kyawzinhtett/portalpal. Feel free to open an issue if you discover any errors.

Just a small app consuming the Rick and Morty API showing some basic stats of each character such as last known location, species and what episode(s) they appear in.
