Welcome to Ben's 'goGallery' art gallery app!

Ben Firth

Have you ever wanted to see artwork from different cultures? Look no further!

Hosted at: http://gogallery.surge.sh/

This app utilizes:

• Svelte / Javascript
• The Harvard Art Museum API
• Svelte Testing Library / Jest

Setup

Feel free to pull down this repo, run 'npm install'.

To verify that it is setup correctly, run npm run dev in your terminal. Go to http://localhost:3000/. Enter control + c in your terminal to stop the server at any time.

If you want, feel free to run npm test to check out our coverage and make sure everything is passing!

Wins

This project was a learning experience to gain more confidence in Svelte. I would say some of the best things that were accomplished include:

1. Implementing testing using the Svelte Testing Library.
2. Learning how Svelte works with Javascript in a broad way.

Challenges

1. Implementing full testing coverage (and seeing what the coverage actually is, since it's difficult to access .svelte files).
2. Styling with Svelte components.
3. Creating a .env file to hide the API key.

P.S. If you're an avid Svelte user and have any pointers or advice, I'd love to hear from you!
