IST 256: Project 2 Start

Write from the perspective of including answers to these questions:
How did you start?

My partner and I started off by dividing the work amongst ourselves. Currently, Rob is working on the badges while I try to get started on the search aspect of the project. We both recognize that the actual badge is going to take much less time, so I am planning on getting as much done as I can by myself and Rob will likely jump in and help.

We decided to tackle the badge first. Creating the badge was simple enough and it was a good way of getting started. I began with doing research on filtering through an array and trying to formulate a plan to make this work. I looked through a bunch of articles and examples and found that the array.filter() function pretty promising. I managed to create this search function but I believe I'm having trouble with my object typing.

My search seems to be searching correctly, since whenever I change the searched term, the amount of [object Object] is changing. I believe that it is returning the correct sections, so I just need to figure out a way to get this to return a badge element that we created. Rob's next priority is to finish the card so we can start testing my search function. While my priority is to polish my search and make sure that its returning the way its supposed to.
Luckily, the card making skills we learned from Project 1 translated pretty well into this project. However, the search api is a new concept to us.

I'm not really sure exactly what else I need to do to fix my search, I'll likely do some more research or ask for some help during class time.
