PhotoSearch is a dynamic web application that allows users to explore and search for high-quality images. It interfaces with the Unsplash API to fetch and display images based on user-defined tags as search criteria.

• Trending Page: A dedicated page that displays trending photos.
• Tag Page: Allows users to search for photos by tags. Users can enter a tag to view all relevant photos associated with that particular tag.

Follow these instructions to set up the PhotoSearch app on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (v20) and npm (v10)

1. Clone the Repository

   Clone the project to your local machine. Open your terminal and run:

   git clone https://github.com/alejandrogh97/unsplash-app.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

   After cloning, move into the project directory:

   cd unsplash-app

3. Install Dependencies

   Install the necessary npm packages:

   npm install

4. Environment Setup

   Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add the Unsplash API token:

   VITE_UNSPLASH_API_TOKEN=Your_Unsplash_API_Key_Here
   

   Replace Your_Unsplash_API_Key_Here with your actual API key from Unsplash.

Once the setup is complete, you can start the application by running:

npm run dev

This will launch the app in development mode. Open http://localhost:5173 to view it in your browser.
