Learning React with a Movie App 🎬

I just finished building a movie app using React! This project helped me learn the most important React ideas.

Why I Built This

I wanted to understand how React works by making something real. This project shows me how to use the main features of React in a simple way.

What the App Does:

  • Shows Movies: Display a list of movies with information about each one.
  • Save Favorites: Let users save their favorite movies.
  • Navigation: Move between different pages of the app.

React Ideas I Used:

  • Hooks: Using useState to manage data in my app.
  • State Management: Keeping track of which movies are favorites.
  • Components: Breaking the app into small, reusable pieces.
  • Props: Sending data between components.

This project taught me how React makes building apps easier!
