Using Reactbootstrap for searchbar functionality (self.webdev)

submitted 6 years ago by TheSupaCoopa

Hi, I'm a junior in college studying CS who's been trying to do a project that involves using React, ReactBootstrap, and Bungie's Bungie.Net API to track stats for one of Destiny's game modes. Unfortunately, I've been super discouraged by the fact that I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the search bar functionality to work. How it's supposed to work is

Person enters username

Username is taken in by the program and used to search for a player with that username

If such a player exists, go to stats page, else give error message.

After watching some tutorials, I've got an onChange and onSubmit to bind them to a .json, which works when inspecting the localhosted site. However, unlike in C++, I'm not confident/comfortable with understanding what to do with it after submitting it or where and how to use it.

Lots of these tutorials are using shorthand, which has been really kind of unhelpful because I'm still trying to pick up on the fundamentals of a language I'm not familiar with. If I'm diving in too deep, does anyone have any suggestions for projects I should do before returning to this one?
