In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a simple Movie App in JavaScript.

We will use the below API to get movies and we will show on the web page:

JavaScript Movie Application

Create a folder called movie-app as project workspace and we will create all the project files inside this folder.

1. index.html

Let's create index.html and add the following code to it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <title>Movie App</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
        <script src="script.js" defer></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <form id="form">
                <input
                    type="text"
                    id="search"
                    placeholder="Search"
                    class="search"
                />
            </form>
        </header>
        <main id="main"></main>
    </body>
</html>

2. script.js

Let's create JavaScript file named script.js and add following JavaScript code to it:

const APIURL =
    "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?sort_by=popularity.desc&api_key=04c35731a5ee918f014970082a0088b1&page=1";
const IMGPATH = "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1280";
const SEARCHAPI =
    "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?&api_key=04c35731a5ee918f014970082a0088b1&query=";

const main = document.getElementById("main");
const form = document.getElementById("form");
const search = document.getElementById("search");

// initially get fav movies
getMovies(APIURL);

async function getMovies(url) {
    const resp = await fetch(url);
    const respData = await resp.json();

    console.log(respData);

    showMovies(respData.results);
}

function showMovies(movies) {
    // clear main
    main.innerHTML = "";

    movies.forEach((movie) => {
        const { poster_path, title, vote_average, overview } = movie;

        const movieEl = document.createElement("div");
        movieEl.classList.add("movie");

        movieEl.innerHTML = `
            <img
                src="${IMGPATH + poster_path}"
                alt="${title}"
            />
            <div class="movie-info">
                <h3>${title}</h3>
                <span class="${getClassByRate(
                    vote_average
                )}">${vote_average}</span>
            </div>
            <div class="overview">
                <h3>Overview:</h3>
                ${overview}
            </div>
        `;

        main.appendChild(movieEl);
    });
}

function getClassByRate(vote) {
    if (vote >= 8) {
        return "green";
    } else if (vote >= 5) {
        return "orange";
    } else {
        return "red";
    }
}

form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();

    const searchTerm = search.value;

    if (searchTerm) {
        getMovies(SEARCHAPI + searchTerm);

        search.value = "";
    }
});

 

style.css

Let's create CSS file named style.css and add the following CSS code to it:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@200;400;600&display=swap");

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    background-color: #22254b;
    font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
}

header {
    background-color: #373b69;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: flex-end;
    padding: 1rem;
}

.search {
    background-color: transparent;
    border: 2px solid #22254b;
    border-radius: 50px;
    color: #fff;
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: 1rem;
    padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
}

.search::placeholder {
    color: #7378c5;
}

.search:focus {
    background-color: #22254b;
    outline: none;
}

main {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.movie {
    background-color: #373b69;
    border-radius: 3px;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    margin: 1rem;
    width: 300px;
}

.movie img {
    width: 100%;
}

.movie-info {
    color: #eee;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: space-between;
    padding: 0.5rem 1rem 1rem;
    letter-spacing: 0.5px;
}

.movie-info h3 {
    margin: 0;
}

.movie-info span {
    background-color: #22254b;
    border-radius: 3px;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 0.25rem 0.5rem;
}
.movie-info span.green {
    color: rgb(39, 189, 39);
}

.movie-info span.orange {
    color: orange;
}

.movie-info span.red {
    color: rgb(189, 42, 42);
}

.overview {
    background-color: #fff;
    padding: 2rem;
    position: absolute;
    max-height: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
    transform: translateY(101%);
    transition: transform 0.3s ease-in;
}

.overview h3 {
    margin-top: 0;
}

.movie:hover .overview {
    transform: translateY(0);
}
