Need some advice? The What Are Friends For app is here to help! It's really simple, the user simply enters a one word topic, and some personalized advice will appear.
I used the Advice Slip API interface to fetch data for the kind of advice the app generates. I used an event listener on the button, and coded the javascript to display the appropriate message to the user upon the click event. I also took some inspiration from Dribble.com for UI components, to make the application more appealing to the eye.
While I haven't yet deduced the processing speed for this application, I would like to implement best practices for efficiency. There are some code blocks that can use some refractoring. I'd also like to create a stylish error modal that indicates to the user that their topic of choice could not be found. Maybe some gifs in relation to the subject would also look pretty neat!
For this project I wanted to get my hands wet with async/await in Javascript. I am already familiar with Promises, but I wanted to take it further and immerse myself in more modern syntax, to keep my code more readable and organized.
