MovieFinder
A compact movie search experience built over the OMDB catalogue.
React
React-router
Redux
Overview
MovieFinder is a movie search app built on the OMDB API — type a title, get posters, ratings, and details with smooth client-side transitions.
What it does
- Searches the OMDB catalogue and renders up-to-date movie information — posters, year, ratings, plot.
- React Router powers seamless transitions between search results and detail views, no full page reloads.
- Redux keeps search results and selections in global state, so navigating back doesn't refetch or lose your place.
How it's built
A React single-page app: React Router for routing, Redux for state. Data flows from the OMDB REST API into a normalized store, and components subscribe to just the slices they need.
What I learned
This was my deep-dive into client-side routing and API integration — handling loading and error states per route, and structuring Redux so the UI stays responsive while data arrives.
