🎨 WDC #23 Weekend Design Challenge: Collector's Edition

[rishabh_2008]

Thank u @domhnallohanlon for creating the #23 WDC

[domhnallohanlon]

No problem @rishabh_2008 - let me know if there are any questions about the challenge!

[rishabh_2008]

Yeah I didn’t understand the project ,we have to use barcode scanner ?

[domhnallohanlon]

@rishabh_2008 - the theme for the week is to design something for a collector, so it can be any sort of app for managing or curating a collection. You get to decide what components you want to use!

A barcode scanner probably isn’t much use if it’s for someone collecting cars or stamps (you can just use manual data entry I suppose?) but if you want to pull data in quickly for something like a book or record collection then the barcode scanner is a great way to do this so I’ve provided an example to show one way of getting started with it.

Hope that helps!

[rishabh_2008]

Thank you got it

@domhnallohanlon

For this challenge we’re even providing you with a starter template called Ex Libris which you can use if you like.

Wow - very excited to see that the sample app has been remixed over 100 times in the past 2 days - if anyone has any questions about using the open library API (or any other aspects of this challenge!) let us know here.

So honoured to see my apps used as inspiration for this challenge
This seems like a very interesting challenge and I’m working on something for it!

[rishabh_2008]

how do u get Web api block

Good question - here are the docs in case anyone is looking for them.

@rishabh_2008

Can u tell how to put the api key and URL

The API I’ve linked to doesn’t require authentication, you just pass it the ISBN (barcode) from the book and it gives you back the details. Are you using a different API? Have you studied the Ex Libris sample app?

[rishabh_2008]

Yes I studied the app ! It is very good , Awesome ! But just want to know when you were making app ,have you put the URL in it or not Just have this question

@domhnallohanlon

Have you studied the Ex Libris sample app?

Please tell !!!

I have made the project of #WDC 23 but only 1 screen is left of bar code Which i need help from any other people

[tatiang]

If you need help, search the forums first as well as the documentation. If you still can’t figure it out, create a new topic and provide details including screenshots or a link to your project. Explain what you’ve tried and what does/does not work.

On the scrScan screen of the Ex Libris project, you can see the url used for the API

[rishabh_2008]

Thanks for sharing this @rishabh_2008, and for taking the time to make the video too!

I like what you’ve done with the design, does your app have a name?

[rishabh_2008]

@domhnallohanlon

Thanks for sharing this @rishabh_2008, and for taking the time to make the video too!

Thank you so much

@domhnallohanlon

does your app have a name?

Yes it has it name is Librarylux I just forgot to put the name
I have made My app in DND UI
No more Projects ??

[eko.devs.apploroceo]

so just an question this is a UI challenge right??

[rishabh_2008]

@domhnallohanlon

The main feature here is not the design (I’m leaving that part up to you!) but the ability to scan a barcode from a book, send that to the Open Library API and return lots of interesting details about that book.

Just read this @eko.devs.apploroceo

[vishruth-ram]

here you go

[tatiang]

I really wanted to work on this. I started out making a Magic The Gathering card collecting app but I’ve spent all my time this past week rebuilding my Find Your AQI (air quality) app since it wasn’t working. So I haven’t had much free time for WDC. Maybe soon!

[rishabh_2008]

@tatiang your UI is very cool !!
Could you please make a video of it works

[tatiang]

Thank you but it’s really just a Data Viewer Grid that gets values from a Magic The Gathering API based on the search term entered into a Text Input component.

If you have a question about it, I can try to answer it.
