About this challenge

This image search challenge was built using native JavaScript with ECMAScript 6 syntax and CSS3. It uses the Google Custom Search API, while specifying for only images with a custom search preference for images found on www.patreon.com. I would recommend searching for your favorite people on Patreon, my favorites being Jazza, SexualLobster, Lindsey Stirling, and Scott Bradlee.

The API has a maximum number of searches of 25 per day on a free account, so if it runs out, I have a pre-selected set of hard-coded images to still test UI functionality. The free API also limits searches for up to 10 results at a time.

The code for this project can be found at karomancer/imageChallenge.

V2 considerations:

• Pagination support
• Load query params from url
• Improve lightbox animation
• Organize stylesheets and code into smaller modules
• Clean HTML up to use fewer IDs and tag references
• Loading for individual images, too
