Our project employs a typical frontend-backend separation architecture:
- Frontend (App.vue and components): Manages the user interface and frontend logic, integrating multiple Vue components such as Navbar.vue, UserProfile.vue, etc.
- Backend: Provides RESTful APIs for data retrieval and operations.
- Database: Stores user data, events data, and more. The frontend communicates with the backend via HTTP requests, which in turn interacts with the database to fetch or update data.
Reasoning: This architecture is chosen for its flexibility and maintainability, allowing for independent development and deployment of frontend and backend components.
Before implementation, having a detailed UI design is crucial. Below are ASCII representations of the primary user interfaces for our system.
