Movie App with React, Tailwind CSS & React Context API
In this project, we’ll build and deploy a fully responsive movie application using React JS, styled with Tailwind CSS, powered by the React Context API and React Router DOM for state management and seamless navigation. This project focuses on creating a modern, fully responsive movie application that provides an engaging and seamless user experience across all devices. It features a clean, user-friendly interface powered by dynamic rendering and reusable components. The React Context API simplifies state management, ensuring efficient and organized data flow throughout the application. Tailwind CSS enables rapid styling with a responsive design-first approach, delivering visually appealing layouts optimized for both desktop and mobile users.
We’ll integrate with the TMDB (The Movie Database) API to dynamically fetch and display movies and TV shows across various categories. Users will also be able to view detailed information about selected movies or TV shows and add them to their personal "My List" collection. Users can later remove movies or TV shows from their wish list, all managed using the React Context API.
