This website serves as an easy to navigate resource for anyone looking to learn about any country they may be curious about. A user can look up a country alphabetically, by continent, peruse the colorful flags, or search for a country by name. The site conveniently features a Google maps integration for further exploration of any region that the user may find themselves in.
This site was built using React, CSS, HTML, Rest Countries API, and the Google Maps API.
You can visit Country Explorer to try it out for yourself!
If you wish to download the source code for this application and modify it for your own use, feel free to fork and clone it down to your own machine. Run 'npm i' to install the various dependencies that I used. You will need to register with Google Developers for your own maps API key, which will need to be stored in a secured .env file. Rest countries, very generously, does not require authorization to access their API.
I am very open to collaboration on this project, so please feel free to reach out if you have any ideas about the direction that this project should take in the future.
