The primary aim of this project was to fetch data from the Twitch.Tv API, in order to display a list of Twitch streams provided by Freecodecamp and display information about them including whether the stream was live.
I'm a gamer who visits the Twitch website frequently and so I decided to go a bit further and flesh out the tool somewhat compared to the rather minimal aims of the project. As a result, I added search functionality for any streamer on Twitch along with some streams I personally enjoy and the featured streams of Twitch which display on the Twitch website main page.
This project was one of my earliest projects to deal with asynchronous Javscript and in particular ES6 Promises, which I learnt during this project. This led to working, but messy and hard to follow code.
I've learnt much since then and my data fetching functions now utilise the fetch syntax and async/await syntax, which make for very straight-forward code. I gained a better grasp of the promise and generator functions which these features are built on.
This is my favourite project I've worked on overall!
