Netflix Clone with React and Firebase
Overview:
This project is a web application that replicates the functionality and design of Netflix, a popular
online streaming service. The project uses React, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces,
React Bootstrap, a framework for responsive web design, CSS, a style sheet language for web pages, JSX,
a syntax extension for JavaScript, RESTful API, an architectural style for web services, and TMDB, a
movie database. The project also uses Firebase, a platform for developing web and mobile applications,
to deploy the web application online.
Project Justification:
The project is motivated by the desire to learn and practice modern web development technologies and
tools. The project also showcases the ability to create a dynamic and interactive web application that
mimics a real-world product.
Objectives: The main objectives of the project are:
- To create a responsive and user-friendly web interface that resembles Netflix using React, React Bootstrap, and CSS.
- To fetch and display movie data from TMDB using RESTful API and JSX.
- To implement features such as movie categories, search function, movie details, and trailers using React components and hooks.
- To deploy the web application online using Firebase hosting and authentication services.
Phases of Work: The project consists of four phases:
- Phase 1: Setting up the development environment and installing the required dependencies.
- Phase 2: Designing and developing the web interface using React, React Bootstrap, and CSS.
- Phase 3: Integrating the movie data from TMDB using RESTful API and JSX.
- Phase 4: Deploying the web application online using Firebase.
