3.3 SYSTEM DESIGN

System design is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for
a system to satisfy specified requirements. It is a critical phase in the software development life cycle
that involves the creation of a blueprint for the construction of the system. System design includes the
identification of functional and non-functional requirements, the selection of the appropriate hardware
and software components, and the definition of the system's overall structure and behaviors. The design

3.3.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATION

User Interface and Experience:

User interface (UI) refers to the means by which a user interacts with a computer or other electronic
device. This can include the physical components of the device, such as buttons or touchscreens, as well
as the software that provides visual feedback and responds to user input. User experience (UX), on the
other hand, is a broader term that encompasses the entire experience that a user has while interacting
with a product or service. This includes factors such as usability, ease of use, functionality, accessibility,
and the emotional response that a user has to the product or service. In general, a good UI should be
intuitive, easy to use, and visually appealing, while a good UX should provide a seamless and enjoyable
experience for the user. Both UI and UX are critical to the success of a product or system, as they
influence how users perceive and interact with it.

Clean Design:

Clean design refers to a design style that emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and minimalism. It's
characterized by the use of a minimal color palette, a lot of white space, and simple typography. The
goal of clean design is to create a visual experience that is uncluttered, easy to navigate, and easy to
understand. This often means eliminating unnecessary elements, simplifying complex designs, and
prioritizing user experience over aesthetics. A clean design can be a powerful tool for communication,
as it can help to convey important information more clearly and effectively. One of the key benefits of
clean design is that it can help to reduce visual clutter and make it easier for viewers to understand and
interact with the design. It can also help to create a more cohesive and unified look and feel, which can
be important for branding and creating a consistent visual identity.

Short Loading Times:

Short loading times refer to the amount of time it takes for a program, application, website, or any
digital content to fully load and become functional. In the context of digital media, shorter loading times
are typically desirable, as they result in a better user experience and can increase engagement and
satisfaction. Loading times can be affected by various factors, such as the size and complexity of the
content, the speed and reliability of the internet connection, and the capabilities of the device or system
being used to access the content. Developers and designers of digital content often optimize their
products to minimize loading times, for example, by compressing images and videos, using caching and
preloading techniques, or reducing the number of server requests needed to load the content. By
implementing these strategies, developers can significantly improve loading times and ensure that users
have a fast and smooth experience.

3.3.2 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAMS

MVC stands for Model-View-Controller, which is a design pattern used in software development. The
MVC pattern separates an application into three interconnected components: the Model, the View, and
the Controller.

 The Model component represents the application's data and business logic. It contains the data
structures and algorithms used to store, retrieve, and manipulate data. The Model component
does not interact directly with the user interface or the user. Instead, it communicates with the
Controller component to receive requests, process them, and provide the requested data back to
the Controller.
 The View component represents the user interface. It displays data and allows users to interact
with the application. The View receives data from the Controller and displays it to the user. It
can also send user input back to the Controller for processing. The View is responsible for
presenting data in a way that is easy for the user to understand and interact with.
 The Controller component acts as an intermediary between the Model and View components. It
receives input from the user interface, validates it, and then passes it on to the Model for
processing. The Controller also receives data from the Model and sends it to the View for
display. It acts as the glue that binds the other two components together.

The main benefit of using MVC is the separation of concerns. By separating the application's data,
business logic, and user interface into distinct components, each component can be developed and
maintained independently. This makes it easier to modify the application's behavior without affecting
other parts of the system. It also makes testing easier, as each component can be tested separately.

MVC also promotes code reuse. Since the Model and View components are decoupled from each other,
it is possible to reuse the same Model component with different View components, or vice versa. This
can save development time and reduce code duplication.

Another benefit of MVC is improved scalability. As the application grows in complexity, it becomes
easier to manage and maintain with MVC. New functionality can be added by creating new Models,
Views, and Controllers, without affecting the existing components.

There are several variations of the MVC pattern, including the Model-View-Presenter (MVP) and
Model- View-View Model (MVVM) patterns. These variations have similar principles but differ in how
they separate the application's components. MVC can be applied to various types of applications,
including desktop, web, and mobile applications. In a desktop application, the View component might
be a graphical user interface, while in a web application, it might be an HTML page rendered by a
browser.

Fig 3.1 System Architecture

MVC is not the only design pattern used in software engineering, but it is one of the most popular and
widely used. Other design patterns include the Observer pattern, which is used to notify objects of
changes in other objects, and the Singleton pattern, which is used to ensure that only one instance of a
class is created. Each pattern has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of which pattern to use
depends on the specific requirements of the application.

Interactions
In addition to dividing the application into these components, the model–view–controller design defines
the interactions between them.

 The model is responsible for managing the data of the application. It receives user input from the
controller.
 The view renders presentation of the model in a particular format.
 The controller responds to the user input and performs interactions on the data model objects.
The controller receives the input, optionally validates it and then passes the input to the model.

As with other software patterns, MVC expresses the "core of the solution" to a problem while allowing
it to be adapted for each system. Particular MVC designs can vary significantly from the traditional
description here.

3.3.3 UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE


UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. It is a standardized visual language used in software
engineering to model software systems. UML provides a set of notations and diagrams for describing
the different aspects of a software system, including its structure, behavior, and interactions with users
and other systems. UML diagrams can be used to model a wide range of software systems, from simple
applications to complex enterprise systems. Some of the most commonly used UML diagrams include
class diagrams, use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, and state machine diagrams.
UML is based on the idea of modeling a system as a set of objects that interact with each other.

Notations and meta-models: -

The notation is the graphical stuff; it is the syntax of the modeling language. For instance, class diagram
notation defines how items are concepts such as class association, and multiplicity is represented. These
are:

Class Diagram:

A class diagram is a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram that represents the structure
and behavior of a system or software application. It shows the classes in a system, their attributes and
operations, as well as the relationships among classes. In a class diagram, each class is represented by a
rectangle that is divided into three sections. The top section shows the name of the class, the middle
section shows the attributes or properties of the class, and the bottom section shows the operations or
methods that the class can perform. The relationships between the classes are represented as lines
connecting the classes. Associations represent relationships between two classes, while generalizations
represent inheritance relationships between classes.

Association:

An association is a relationship between two or more classes that describes how instances of those
classes are connected or linked to each other. An association can be represented by a line between the
classes with optional arrows indicating the direction of the relationship. The line can also have a name
that describes the relationship between the classes. Associations can have multiplicity, which means the
number of instances of one class that can be connected to one or more instances of the other class.
Associations can also have attributes and operations, which are defined using association classes or
association roles. An association class is a class that represents the relationship between two or more
other classes, while an association role is a named end of an association that has additional attributes and
operations.

Dept. of ISE, TOCE 2023-24 14


Blog Full Stack Web Application

Generalization:

In UML (Unified Modeling Language), generalization is a relationship between two classes where one
class (called the subclass or derived class) inherits the attributes and behavior of another class (called the
superclass or base class). The generalization relationship is represented in UML by an arrow that points
from the subclass to the superclass, with an open arrowhead at the end of the arrow. Generalization is a
key concept in object-oriented programming and design because it allows for the creation of more
abstract, general classes that can be extended and customized by more specific subclasses.

Aggregation:

Aggregation is a kind of association relationship between two classes where one class contains a
reference to the other class as a part of its own state. Aggregation is a form of "has-a" relationship,
which means that one class has a reference to another class. Aggregation is represented in UML
diagrams by a hollow diamond shape on the end of the line connecting the two classes. The diamond
symbolizes that one class is a part of the other class, but it can exist independently of it. Aggregation is
denoted by a hollow diamond shape on the end of an association line, pointing towards the whole class.
The part class is connected to the diamond with a solid line.

State Diagram:

A state diagram is a type of diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) that represents the
behaviors of a system or object over time. It shows the possible states of an object or system and the
events that cause it to transition from one state to another. In a state diagram, each state is represented as
a box, and transitions between states are represented by arrows. The events or actions that trigger a
transition are often labeled on the arrows, and the conditions that must be met for a transition to occur
may be specified within the box representing a state. State diagrams are useful for modeling complex
systems, as they allow developers to identify potential problems or conflicts that may arise during the
system's operation.

PERT chart (Program Evaluation and Review Technique chart):

A PERT chart (Program Evaluation and Review Technique chart) is a visual tool used in project
management to plan, schedule, and control complex projects. It is a type of network diagram that
displays project activities and their dependencies, as well as the estimated time required to complete
each activity. In a PERT chart, project activities are represented as nodes, while arrows represent the
dependencies between them. Each node is labelled with the activity name and the estimated time
required to complete it. PERT charts also include a timeline, which shows the start and end dates for
each activity, as well as the overall project completion date.

Gantt Chart:

Gantt chart is a commonly used graphical depiction of a project schedule. It's a type of bar chart
showing the start and finish dates of a project's elements such as resources, planning, and dependencies.
The Gantt chart is the most widely used chart in project management. These charts are useful in
planning a project and defining the sequence of tasks that require completion. In most instances, the
chart is displayed as a horizontal bar chart. The Gantt chart aids project managers in communicating
project status and completion rate of specific tasks within a project, and also helps ensure the project
remains on track. The chart identifies tasks that may be executed in parallel and those that can't be
started or finished until others are complete. Gantt charts can be used in managing projects of all sizes
and types. These may include building infrastructures like dams, bridges, and highways. They may also
include software development and other technologies. Project management tools, such as Microsoft
Visio, Project, SharePoint, and Excel, or specialized software, such as Gantto or Match ware, can help in
designing Gantt charts. In UML, a Gantt chart can be created using the activity diagram, which is a
graphical representation of a workflow or process. The activity diagram can be used to show the
sequence of activities in a project, including the start and end dates of each activity, the dependencies
between activities, and the resources required for each activity. Gantt charts can be useful in UML
because they allow project managers to easily visualize the overall timeline of a project and identify any
potential delays or issues. They can also be used to communicate project timelines to stakeholders and
team members.

3.3.4 DATAFLOW DIAGRAM


A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of how data flows through a system. It is a
modelling technique used to visualize and analyze the flow of data, information, and materials through a
process or system.

In a DFD, there are four main components:

 External entities: These are the people, organizations, or systems that interact with the system
being analyzed.
 Processes: These are the activities or functions that are performed within the system.
 Data flows: These are the paths through which data moves between external entities and
processes.
 Data stores: These are the repositories where data is stored within the system.

Fig 3.2 Data Flow Diagrams

DFD Levels and Layers

A data flow diagram can dive into progressively more detail by using levels and layers, zeroing in on a
particular piece. DFD levels are numbered 0, 1 or 2, and occasionally go to even Level 3 or beyond.
The necessary level of detail depends on the scope of what you are trying to accomplish.

 DFD Level 0 is also called a Context Diagram. It’s a basic overview of the whole system or
process being analyzed or modelled. It’s designed to be an at-a-glance view, showing the system
as a single high-level process, with its relationship to external entities.

 DFD Level 1 provides a more detailed breakout of pieces of the Context Level Diagram. You
will highlight the main functions carried out by the system, as you break down the high-level
process of the Context Diagram into its subprocesses.
 DFD Level 2 then goes one step deeper into parts of Level 1. It may require more text to reach
the necessary level of detail about the system’s functioning.
 Progression to Levels 3, 4 and beyond is possible, but going beyond Level 3 is uncommon.
Doing so can create complexity that makes it difficult to communicate, compare or model
effectively.

Using DFD layers, the cascading levels can be nested directly in the diagram, providing a cleaner look
with easy access to the deeper dive.

3.3.5 FEASIBILITY STUDIES

A feasibility study is an analysis and evaluation of the potential of a proposed project or idea to
determine if it is practical, viable, and economically feasible. It involves assessing the technical,
financial, legal, social, and environmental aspects of a project to identify potential challenges, risks, and
benefits. The purpose of a feasibility study is to provide decision-makers with the necessary information
to determine whether or not to proceed with a project. Feasibility studies are typically conducted before
a project is initiated and can help to minimize the risk of project failure or costly mistakes. During a
feasibility study, various factors are analyzed, including market demand, competition, available
resources, cost and revenue projections, potential risks and challenges, and legal and regulatory
requirements. The goal is to identify potential obstacles and challenges that may arise during the
project's implementation and to develop strategies to overcome them. Feasibility studies are important
because they help businesses and organizations make informed decisions about whether to pursue a
project or not. They provide valuable insights into the project's potential profitability and help
stakeholders understand the risks and benefits associated with the venture. Additionally, feasibility
studies can help secure funding and support from investors and other stakeholders.

Technical Feasibility

In Technical Feasibility current resources both hardware software along with required technology are
analyzed/assessed to develop the project. This technical feasibility study gives a report on whether there
exists correct required resources and technologies which will be used for project development. Along
with this, the feasibility study also analyzes the technical skills and capabilities of the technical team,
whether existing technology can be used or not, whether maintenance and up-gradation is easy or not for
chosen technology etc.

Operational Feasibility

In Operational Feasibility degree of providing service to requirements is analyzed along with how easy
the product will be to operate and maintain after deployment. Along with these other operational scopes
are determining the usability of the product, determining suggested solution by the software
development team is acceptable or not etc. During an operational feasibility study, a team of experts will
typically assess the current processes and resources, identify potential challenges and constraints, and
analyze the impact of the proposed project or system on operations. They may also consider factors such
as cost, time, and personnel requirements, as well as the potential benefits and risks of the project.

Economic Feasibility

In Economic Feasibility study cost and benefit of the project are analyzed. This means under this
feasibility study a detailed analysis is carried out will be the cost of the project for development which
includes all required costs for final development hardware and software resources required, design and
development cost and operational cost and so on. After that, it is analyzed whether a project will be
beneficial in terms of finance for the organization or not. The purpose of an economic feasibility study is
to help decision-makers make informed choices about whether to proceed with a particular project or
investment. The study typically includes an analysis of the project's potential costs, revenues, and
profits, as well as an assessment of the market demand and competition.

Legal Feasibility

In Legal Feasibility, study project is analyzed from a legality point of view. This includes analyzing
barriers of the legal implementation of the project, data protection acts or social media laws, project
certificates, licenses, copyright etc. Overall, it can be said that Legal Feasibility Study is a study to know
if the proposed project conforms to legal and ethical requirements. The main purpose of a legal
feasibility study is to identify any legal issues or potential obstacles that may arise during the project's
implementation. The study should also examine any regulatory requirements that need to be met and any
permits or licenses that need to be obtained.

Schedule Feasibility

In Schedule Feasibility Study mainly timelines/deadlines are analyzed for the proposed project which
includes how many times teams will take to complete a final project which has a great impact on the
organization as the purpose of the project may fail if it can’t be completed on time. The schedule
feasibility study should identify critical paths, which are the sequence of tasks that must be completed
on time for the project to finish on schedule. Once critical paths are identified, project managers can
allocate resources and adjust the timeline accordingly to minimize the risk of delays.

theoretical concepts and turning them into practical, real-world applications. Implementation can
involve the development of new products, services, systems, or processes, or the modification of
existing ones.

3.4.1 SELECTION OF CODING LANGUAGE

We have coded our project in HTML using HTML, SCSS JS, React. We have used SCSS to give a
styling effect to our web page. We have used TMDB API to programmatically fetch and use data
provided by TMDB.

3.4.2 DESCRIPTION OF CODING LANGUAGE


3.4.2.1 HTML (HYPERTEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE)

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a coding language used to create web pages and
applications. It is the foundation of every website, providing the structure and content of a page. HTML
uses tags and attributes to define the various elements of a web page, such as headings, paragraphs,
images, and links. The basic structure of an HTML document includes an opening and closing tag, with
the content of the page contained within these tags. The first tag in an HTML document is typically the
<!DOCTYPE> declaration, which specifies the type of document being created. This is followed by the
<html> tag, which contains the entire web page. Within the <html> tag, there are two main sections: the
<head> section and the <body> section. The <head> section contains information about the page, such
as the title, metadata, and links to external files. The <body> section contains the actual content of the
page, including text, images, and other media. HTML uses a variety of tags to define the different
elements of a web page. For example, the <h1> tag is used to create a top-level heading, while the <p>
tag is used to create a paragraph of text. Other common tags include <a> for creating links, <img> for
embedding images, and <div> for grouping related elements. In addition to tags, HTML also uses
attributes to provide additional information about an element. For example, the <img> tag includes an
attribute called src, which specifies the location of the image file to be displayed. Similarly, the <a> tag
includes an href attribute, which specifies the URL that the link should point to. One of the most
powerful features of HTML is its ability to create tables, which can be used to display data in a
structured format. Tables are created using the <table> tag, with individual cells defined using the <td>
tag. Tables can also include headers, footers, and other elements to provide additional context and
organization. Another important feature of HTML is its support for forms, which allow users to input
data and interact with web pages. Forms are created using the <form> tag, with input fields defined
using a variety of different tags, including <input>, <textarea>, and <select>. Forms can also include

3.4.2.2 SASS (STYLE SHEET LANGUAGE)

SASS, or Sassy CSS, is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the functionality of standard
CSS. It was initially designed as a more efficient and flexible way of writing stylesheets for web
developers and has since become an incredibly popular tool for creating scalable, maintainable, and
reusable CSS code. One of the primary benefits of using SCSS is that it allows developers to write CSS
in a more modular and structured way. Instead of writing all of their styles in a single, large file,
developers can break their code into smaller, more manageable files that can be easily imported and
organized. This can help to reduce the complexity of their code and make it easier to maintain over time.
Another key feature of SCSS is its support for variables, which allow developers to define reusable
values and use them throughout their code. This can be especially helpful for defining colours, fonts,
and other common styles that are used across an entire project. By using variables, developers can easily
make changes to their styles without having to update each individual instance in their code. SCSS also
provides support for mixins, which allow developers to define reusable blocks of code that can be used
in multiple places throughout their stylesheet. Mixins can be used to define complex styles, such as
gradients or shadows. In addition to variables and mixins, SCSS also provides support for functions,
which allow developers to perform calculations and manipulate values in their stylesheet. This can be
helpful for defining dynamic styles that change based on user input or other factors. For example, a
developer could use a function to adjust the size of a font based on the width of the user's screen. SCSS
also supports nesting, which allows developers to write their styles in a more natural, hierarchical way.
This can make their code more readable and easier to understand, especially for developers who are new
to CSS. By nesting their styles, developers can also reduce the amount of repetition in their code and
make it more concise. Overall, SCSS is an incredibly powerful tool for web developers that allows them
to write more efficient, scalable, and maintainable CSS code. By providing support for variables,
mixins, functions, nesting, and other advanced features, SCSS makes it easier for developers to write
high-quality CSS code that is easy to maintain and update over time. Whether you're a beginner or an
experienced developer, SCSS is a valuable tool to have in your toolkit. By mastering the basics of
SCSS, developers can create rich, dynamic, and engaging web pages that delight users and achieve their
business goals. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, HTML is an essential skill to
have in your toolkit. . When a component is updated, SCSS creates a new virtual DOM, compares it
with the previous one, and updates only the parts that have changed. This makes the UI updates faster
and more efficient. SCSS also uses one-way data binding, which means that data flows only in one
direction. This makes it easier to manage state and makes the code more predictable and easier to debug.
SCSS components can be divided into two types: functional and class components.

3.4.2.3 JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript (JS) is a high-level programming language that is often used to add interactivity to websites
and web applications. It was created in 1995 by Brendan Eich, while he was working at Netscape
Communications Corporation. Over the years, JavaScript has become one of the most popular
programming languages in the world and is now used by millions of developers and websites. One of
the key features of JavaScript is that it is a client-side scripting language, meaning that it runs directly in
the user's web browser, rather than on a server. This allows for dynamic and interactive web pages,
without the need for frequent server requests. JavaScript is also lightweight and easy to learn, making it
a popular choice for web developers of all skill levels.

JavaScript is used for a wide variety of tasks on the web, including form validation, animations, and
complex user interfaces. It can also be used to manipulate HTML and CSS, making it an essential tool
for front-end web development. Additionally, JavaScript is often used in conjunction with other
programming languages, such as PHP and Python, to create dynamic and interactive web applications.
In recent years, JavaScript has undergone a number of changes and updates, with the introduction of
new features and technologies such as Node.js, React, and Angular. These tools and frameworks have
made it easier for developers to build complex web applications, and have contributed to the continued
popularity of JavaScript.

One of the most important updates to JavaScript in recent years has been the introduction of ES6
(ECMAScript 2015), a major revision of the language that introduced a number of new features and
improvements. These included the let and const keywords for variable declaration, arrow functions,
template literals, and a number of other enhancements to the language. Another important development
in the world of JavaScript has been the rise of Node.js, a JavaScript runtime built on the V8 engine used
by Google Chrome. Node.js allows developers to use JavaScript on the server side, enabling the creation
of high-performance, scalable web applications using a single language throughout the entire stack. This
has made JavaScript an even more versatile and powerful tool for web development. In addition to
Node.js, there are also a number of popular JavaScript frameworks and libraries that have become
essential tools for modern web development. These include React, Angular, Vue.js, and jQuery, among
others. These frameworks provide a range of tools and features for building complex web applications
and have become the backbone of many popular websites and web applications. Despite its popularity
and widespread use, JavaScript does have its limitations and challenges. One of the biggest challenges
faced by developers is browser compatibility, with different browsers often interpreting JavaScript code
in slightly different ways. This can make it difficult to create web applications that work consistently
across all platforms and devices. However, there are a number of best practices and tools available to
help developers mitigate these risks and ensure that their web applications are secure and reliable.

3.4.2.4 REACTJS

ReactJS, commonly referred to as React, is an open-source JavaScript library for building user
interfaces. It was developed by Facebook and was first released in 2013. Since then, it has gained
popularity among developers due to its efficiency, and ease of use. One of the unique features of React
is its use of a virtual DOM, which allows it to update and render changes to the user interface. React
also follows a component- based approach, where the UI is divided into smaller, reusable components,
making it easier to manage and maintain large applications. React works by allowing developers to
create reusable components that can be rendered on the web page. These components are written in a
syntax called JSX, which allows developers to write HTML-like code directly in their JavaScript code.
React then takes care of rendering the components to the page, making it easy to create complex user
interfaces. React also provides a robust set of tools and libraries, such as React Router, Redux, and
React Native, to extend its functionality beyond just web development. React Router is a library that
allows for easy client-side routing, making it easy to build single-page applications. Redux is a state
management library that makes it easy to manage the state of an application, allowing for more
predictable and maintainable code. React Native is a framework for building native mobile apps using
React, making it possible to write code once and deploy it on multiple platforms. Another benefit of
React is its strong community support. There are countless resources available online, such as
documentation, tutorials, and open-source projects, making it easy to get started with React and find
solutions to common problems. The React community also actively contributes to the development of
the library, ensuring its continued improvement and growth. In conclusion, ReactJS is a powerful and
popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Its use of a virtual DOM, component- based
approach, and extensive set of tools and libraries make it efficient, flexible, and easy to use. With its
strong community support and active development, react is a great choice for building modern web
applications and beyond. ReactJS works by creating a virtual DOM, which is a lightweight
representation of the actual DOM. When a component is updated, ReactJS creates a new virtual DOM,
compares it with the previous one, and updates only the parts that have changed. This makes the UI
updates faster and more efficient. ReactJS also uses one-way data binding, which means that data flows
only in one direction. This makes it easier to manage state and makes the code more predictable and
easier to debug. ReactJS components can be divided into two types: functional and class components.
Functional components are simple JavaScript functions that return JSX, while class components are
more complex and have a state and lifecycle methods. ReactJS also uses JSX, which is a syntax
extension that allows developers to write HTML-like syntax in JavaScript. JSX makes it easier to create
UI components and is used extensively in ReactJS. . The React community also actively contributes to
the development of the library, ensuring its continued improvement and growth. In conclusion, ReactJS
is a powerful and popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

3.4.2.5 REDUX

Redux is a state management library that is commonly used in front-end web applications. It is widely
used in conjunction with React, although it can be used with other frameworks or even vanilla
JavaScript. In simple terms, Redux helps you manage the state of your application in a predictable and
centralized manner. The core idea behind Redux is to have a single source of truth for the state. This
store is immutable, meaning that it cannot be changed directly. Instead, changes to the state are made by
dispatching actions to the store. An action is a plain JavaScript object that describes a change to the
state. It has a "type" property that describes the type of action being taken, as well as any additional data
that is necessary to make the change. For example, if you wanted to add a new item to a list, you might
dispatch an action with a type of "ADD_ITEM" and the data for the new item. When an action is
dispatched, it is passed to a function called a "reducer".

A reducer is responsible for taking the current state of the application and the action, and returning the
new state. The reducer function should be pure, meaning that it should not have any side effects and
should always return the same output given the same input. The new state returned by the reducer is
then stored in the store, replacing the previous state. This new state is then used to update the user
interface of the application. One of the key benefits of using Redux is that it makes it easy to debug your
application. Because the state is centralized and changes are made through actions, it is easy to track
how the state changes over time. Additionally, because the reducer function is pure, it is easy to test and
reason about. Another benefit of using Redux is that it makes it easy to manage complex state. Because
all of the state is stored in a single object, it is easy to keep track of how different parts of the state are
related. Additionally, because the state is immutable, it is easy to reason about how changes to the state
will affect the rest of the application. However, there are some downsides to using Redux. One of the
main criticisms is that it can be verbose and require a lot of boilerplate code to set up. Additionally,
some developers find it difficult to understand the concept of the store, actions, and reducers. In
summary, Redux is a state management library that helps you manage the state of your application in a
predictable and centralized manner. It uses a single immutable store to store all of the state, and changes
to the state are made by dispatching actions to the store. A reducer function is responsible for taking the
current state and the action, and returning the new state. Redux makes it easy to debug and manage
complex state, but can be verbose and difficult to understand for some developers. Redux is a state
management library for JavaScript applications that was first introduced by Dan Abramov and Andrew
Clark in 2015. It has since become a popular tool for managing application state in React and other
front-end frameworks. Redux provides a predictable state container, which means that all state updates
are done in a predictable and organized way, making it easier to understand how data flows through an
application. In this article, we will explore the key concepts of Redux, how it works, and how it can be

3.4.2.7 JSX

JSX is a syntax extension that allows developers to write HTML-like code inside JavaScript. It was
developed by Facebook as a part of their React library and has gained widespread adoption in the
JavaScript community. With JSX, developers can write code that looks like HTML but includes
dynamic content and logic. This allows them to create complex user interfaces more easily than
traditional JavaScript methods. JSX is not a separate language but a syntax extension, which means it
can be compiled into regular JavaScript using tools like Babel. JSX elements are similar to HTML
elements, but they are actually JavaScript objects. When the code is compiled, JSX elements are
transformed into regular JavaScript function calls that create and return these objects. The render
function specifies the HTML output of a React component. JSX(JavaScript Extension), is a React
extension which allows writing JavaScript code that looks like HTML.

For example, the following JSX code creates a simple button element:

When compiled, it becomes:

JSX also allows developers to use curly braces to include JavaScript expressions inside their code. This
can be used to dynamically generate content or apply logic based on variables.

In this example, the value of the name variable is inserted into the string when the component is
rendered. Overall, JSX provides a powerful and intuitive way to create dynamic user interfaces in
JavaScript. It has become a popular choice for building web applications with React, but it can also be
used with other libraries and frameworks.
