Description

The application was implemented based on the React framework using TypeScript. All data are fetched from {JSON} Placeholder API.

The application contains a lot of information from an external API, such as in Home page, you can browse all photos posted on instagram on Main feed tab, initially only 50 photos are loaded and after pressing the button you can top up another 50, it's a simple, fake way to paginate data.

Staying on the Home view, go to the User photos tab, we can filter photos based on username, all photos whose username contains letters entered in the search engine will be displayed.

Moving forward, on the Posts view you can see all the posts added by instagram users. If you are logged in, you can add new posts and write comments under posts, as well as delete comments and posts.

In the Search view, you can:

• search for users by user ID with all information about them
• search for photos by photo ID with all information and photo preview
• search for albums (preview of all photos in the album) based on the album ID

The last view is a Login page, there are 10 users on the site, logging in is done using username and email, because passwords are not available in the mock API. To check user details, you can do so here: USERS !

When you log in to the system, on the Posts tab you can add and delete posts and comments, but only for the logged in user.

The next tab available after logging in is My profile, where you can check information about the logged in user, edit basic data and view your posts, comments and albums with photos.
