Case sensitive inputs - quick but not ideal fix

Lines 46 to 51 in c118680

	const search = (name) => {
	//case sensitive - change in API if time permits
	fetchHelper(`facts/name/${name}`, {}).then((facts) => {
	drawFacts(facts);
	});
	};

You can control the case sensitivity of your user inputs like this:

add.fact.js L26-L27

const text_content = event.target.elements.new_fact.value.toLowerCase();
const about_who = event.target.elements.name.value.toLowerCase();

nav-bar.js L11

search(event.target.previousSibling.value.toLowerCase());

That way everything is converted to lowercase.

Of course this is a hacky quick fix for submissions through the front end form inputs only, I could still make a manual POST request to your API with something like Insomnia, so you're right that it would need to be fixed on the backend for full coverage.
