Project Brief
Summary
The project is a comprehensive JavaScript component library that showcases various UI components sourced from diverse online challenges and courses. It's a testament to an individual's journey in frontend development, and a platform for others to witness the potential of these UI components.
Goal Details
- Display and categorize UI components from various challenges and courses.
- Offer a seamless user experience to navigate through the different UI components.
- Serve as a learning tool and portfolio to showcase frontend skills.
Target Audience
- Recruiters or employers looking to hire frontend developers.
- Developers seeking inspiration or references for frontend components.
- Students or beginners in frontend development.
Promise
A unified platform showcasing diverse frontend components with a focus on learning and practical implementation.
Architecture
Modula architecture with monorepo tech-stack pattern structuring, components grouped based on their source (courses, challenges, personal ideas). The dashboard, which lists all the components, is the entry point for users.
Infrastructure
The project leverages Docker and Docker Compose for local development and API provisioning, while AWS EC2 is employed for API hosting.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: Next.js (SSG), Handlebars (HTML templating), SCSS, and JS.
- CI/CD: Github Actions.
- Hosting: GitHub Pages, AWS S3.
System Design (RADIO Framework)
