• SWAPI-Search

CLI node app allows fetching associated information on all SW objects, even from partial string input!

For running on your local machine (after clone && npm i)

npm run search **YOUR PARTIAL SW STRING**

For running test

npm run test

After running this script, a first prompt should appear with a first optional match in the first non-empty category. The user can decide if fetch associated info for that object, seek for other options in the category (if available...), or break the second loop and keep looking for results in the next categories.

The main downside of working directly with API without mapping the data earlier in any kind of implementation (beyond the obvious performance cost and uncontrolling naming and keep them all consist) is expressed with scalability issues like sorting accords parameters (full string match vs partial, match at string beginning either end...), supporting synonymous, allowing common typos, etc...
