I made this app because I was feeling a little despondent about my skills and wanted to reignite my love for programming again. I'm glad to say it helped a lot. Built using React Native and the wonderful Trefle API.
- Please follow the set-up instructions for React Native projects.
- Clone this repo.
- Run
yarn installin your terminal from wherever you saved the cloned repo. cd ios && pod installif you'll be running the app on iOS. Thencdback to the project root.- Get your own personal access token (API key) from Trefle and copy it into a new file that you create called
.envin the root of the project. Copy the name and syntax from the.env.examplefile exactly. Your API key doesn't need to wrapped in quote marks. - Run
yarn run iosoryarn run android, depending on your preference.
- I really want it to be as accessible as can be. To my shame I don't know very much about a11y on mobile apps yet, so this will be an ongoing project.
I'm going to add a plant detail screen so that users can click the images and find out more about the plants.- It needs error handling.
- I need to refactor the code into components where it makes sense to.
- I want to add a splash screen.
- It would be cool to have the ability to bookmark plants.
- Perhaps a user sign-in, but maybe that's overkill.
- I definitely want to spend some time making it beautiful. The current styling was whipped up in about 30minutes - it shows 😅.
