Technology Stack

Frontend Technologies

React Ecosystem:

// Modern React Application Structure
// Using Next.js for optimal performance

// pages/dashboard/index.tsx
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { DashboardLayout } from '@/components/layouts';
import { MetricsGrid, RecentActivity, Charts } from '@/components/dashboard';

export default function Dashboard() {
  const { data: metrics, isLoading } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['dashboardMetrics'],
    queryFn: fetchDashboardMetrics,
  });

  if (isLoading) return <DashboardSkeleton />;

  return (
    <DashboardLayout>
      <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4 gap-6">
        <MetricsGrid metrics={metrics} />
      </div>
      <div className="mt-8 grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 gap-6">
        <Charts data={metrics.chartData} />
        <RecentActivity activities={metrics.recentActivity} />
      </div>
    </DashboardLayout>
  );
}

Backend Technologies

Robust server-side development.

Node.js API Example:

// Modern Express.js API with TypeScript
import express from 'express';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { prisma } from '@/lib/prisma';
import { authenticate, authorize } from '@/middleware/auth';

const router = express.Router();

// Validation schema
const CreateProjectSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
  description: z.string().optional(),
  clientId: z.string().uuid(),
  startDate: z.string().datetime(),
});

// Create project endpoint
router.post(
  '/projects',
  authenticate,
  authorize(['admin', 'manager']),
  async (req, res, next) => {
    try {
      const data = CreateProjectSchema.parse(req.body);

      const project = await prisma.project.create({
        data: {
          ...data,
          createdBy: req.user.id,
          status: 'active',
        },
        include: {
          client: true,
          team: true,
        },
      });

      res.status(201).json({
        success: true,
        data: project,
      });
    } catch (error) {
      next(error);
    }
  }
);

export default router;
