📘 ALX Frontend ReactJS

This repository contains my learning journey and practice projects for the ALX Frontend ReactJS module.
The goal is to build modern React applications step by step while mastering JSX, components, props, and app structure.

---

📖 Description

This project is part of my ALX Software Engineering learning path.
It showcases:

• Setting up React using Vite
• Creating and organizing components
• Using props for reusable UI
• Building simple apps with modern best practices

The repository contains multiple small to medium projects that demonstrate my growing frontend skills.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• React (with Vite) ⚛️
• JavaScript (ES6+)
• HTML5 & CSS3
• Tailwind CSS (for styling in some projects)
• Node.js & npm (for dependencies)
• Git & GitHub (for version control)
• React Router (for multi-page apps)
• Firebase (Auth + Firestore for projects needing login/data)
• APIs (GitHub API, TheMealDB, etc.)

📂 Projects Overview

Project	Description	Live Demo
Recipe Sharing Platform (recipe-sharing-platform)	Search and share recipes, view recipe details, save favorites, responsive design, Firebase integration	Add your live URL
GitHub User Search (github-user-search)	Search GitHub users, view profile and repositories, responsive UI	Live Demo
Recipe Finder App (recipe-finder-app)	Search recipes using TheMealDB API, view details, save favorites, responsive UI	Live Demo
ALX HTML/CSS Headphones Project (alx_html_css/headphones)	Practicing HTML & CSS layouts and responsiveness	-
Other Mini Projects (alx-fe-reactjs)	Various small apps practicing React fundamentals: components, props, state, routing	-

🚀 Getting Started

Installation & Running Locally

git clone https://github.com/amanuel1221/alx-fe-reactjs.git
cd <project-folder>
npm install
npm run dev
Build for Production
npm run build


The build output will be in the dist/ folder (for Vite).

For projects with React Router, add _redirects (Netlify) or vercel.json (Vercel) to handle client-side routing.


💡 Usage

Navigate to each project folder, run npm install and npm run dev

Explore the functionality of each app: search, view details, interact with UI

Some projects require Firebase login to use features like favorites

🔮 Future Improvements

Add loading states and error handling in API calls

Implement pagination or infinite scroll for long lists

Add sorting/filtering features in apps with lists

Add dark mode or theme switching

Deploy all projects with live demo links on Netlify/Vercel

Add unit tests with Jest + React Testing Library
