Implementation highlights

1. Code

• Framework: React. Global state management : Redux-toolkit

• Manage async API calls with redux-toolkit ‘createAsyncThunk’

• Use Data normalization pattern of { ids: [], entities: {}} with redux-toolkit ‘createEntityAdapter’

• Material-ui components composition

  • Read about caveats with inline function as an argument for the component prop here
  • Example: I used react-router-dom ‘Navlink’ componet as replacing component property with ‘Button’ , ‘ListItem’, ‘CardActionArea’

• Application flow is controled by URL. Meaning, you can fetch info by simply typing the correct url. e.g. “localhost:3000/beyonce”

• 

• Performance:

  • Built in selector function memoization with ‘createEntityAdapter’
  • Use ‘memo’ to memoize components when needed
  • When possible, ‘store’ data is used instead of new fetch in cases where artist has not changed (e.g. back to artist page from event page)

2. Responsive UI

• Menu buttons change shape when screen get smaller
• Menu buttons turn to just icons in mobile
• Search field size and position adjust to the change of screen size
• Artist image size changes (smaller) in mobile
• ‘Ticket’ button is not displayed in mobile
• 

3. UI/UX

• Show badge number of total exiting favorite items
• Home button
• Remove favorites button in favorites list
• Go to event page from favorites list
• Gradient color buttons style change on hover
• Display an animated placeholder of artist image before it gets loaded
• 

4. Animations

• Hover my name…🤩
• Beating heart as favorite, in event page
• Display an animated placeholder of artist image before it gets loaded
•
