Project-2-Proposal

Stock Market Web App

Project Description

You will be able to select one of the Fortune 500 companies and then choose their range in order to see their stock prices.

MVP

The MVP would be being able to render a graph of the users choice after they pick a company and a time frame. All this should be styled as well

Post MVP

After everything then I would use different api calls to render news of the company that they picked

BRIEF DESCRIPTION!

This project would be all about manipulating data given to me by an API request and then sending out other requests by user inputted information from GUI inputs.

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS!!!

• One major problem would be learning how to manipulate the data so that it automatically renders graphs from the API's information since I am definitely not going to go over 5 years worth of information for countless companies and then hardcode a graph into my DOM.
• I would also have to learn how to fill in API urls with user input that isn't text. I would like for them to just press an image and then they see their companies stock graph.
• I would also like to make the graph interactive. I would like for them to click at a certain point in the graph and then they see the information for that time period.

POTENTIAL FIXES!!!

• For the graph I could just take the lowest value of the stock for that time frame and then I could set that as the beginning of the graph and then the same for the highest
