Movie Search

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

A movie search app hitting a public movie API — practice for debounced search-as-you-type, pagination and rendering a results grid. It combines search UX with asynchronous data fetching, pagination, empty states, result rendering, and performance techniques such as debouncing.

How to Learn This

  • 1Debounce the search input and show a loading skeleton while fetching. Validate your understanding by applying it in a small practical example.
  • 2Add pagination or infinite scroll for large result sets. Test the result on both a successful path and an invalid or unexpected input.
  • 3Handle the 'no results found' empty state explicitly.
