Wikipedia Live Search

First things first...

This project was heavily inspired by this post by Nick Coughlin. Really, it's almost a direct copy including informative comments. I followed along for learning purposes and I can highly recommend checking out Nick's site - whether you're a newer developer or more experienced, there are a lot of great posts over there.

Overview

Simple little search-as-you-type searchbar for Wikipedia using the Wikipedia API. I'll link their API sandbox here as well for anyone interested. No API key needed!

Built with React and using axios for http requests.

Getting started

Clone this repo to your local machine, then run yarn install (or npm install if you'd prefer) to install the dependencies. Then run yarn start to open a local instance in your browser at http://localhost:3000/).
