News Summary challenge 📰

The objective is to create an app that summarises the news. It aims to grab all the headlines from the Guardian newspaper API and display them on a page. Clicking on a headline will show a summary of the article.

Approach

I first structured off the week's challenge to get the foundation setup. Once I did that, I then started adding in the API and re-edited my code to apply for that. I believe I managed to get halfway with getting the api data but haven't executed it fully via callbacks.

Will return to this project when I have the time to do so.

How to Use

[Although a work in progress, attempt when updated as mostly done.]

Clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/thatdania/news-summary-challenge.git

Then change into the directory

cd news-summary-challenge 

Make sure you install node and install npm (i.e make sure you have it)

node -v
npm -v

Run the following code to see it on the page

node server.js 

User Stories (for guidance)

Some of these stories will need decomposing if they seem too large.

To make my news reading more fun
