openPoll React App Architecture Document

Overview

The openPoll React app is a feature-rich web application designed for creating and participating in polls. This architecture document provides a comprehensive view of the project's structure, libraries, and the organization of key components.

Libraries

The openPoll React app relies on several libraries to provide functionality and maintainability:

• React: The core library for building interactive and dynamic user interfaces.

• Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework that streamlines UI development and responsiveness.

• Preline: A code preprocessor (available at preline.co) used for code readability and maintainability.

• React Router: A routing library essential for handling navigation and routing within the app.

• Yup: A validation library for data validation and form validation, ensuring data integrity.

• Axios: A promise-based HTTP client used for making API requests to a backend server.

Architecture

The project's directory structure follows a logical organization for improved development and maintainability.
