Creating a movie web application using React and deploying it on Vercel involves several steps, encompassing both development and deployment phases...
-
Setup and Dependencies: Initialize a new React project using Create React App, which sets up the environment and provides a development server, Webpack configuration, and Babel presets. Install necessary dependencies like
react-dom
for react app and possibly libraries for svg image like search svg or some API. -
API Integration: Integrate a movie database API (The Movie Database API) to fetch movie information. This involves making HTTP requests using fetch API to retrieve movie details, search results, and categories.
-
Building Components: Create React components for different parts of the application, such as a search bar, movie list, movie card, and detailed view pages. Use state and effects hooks (
useState
,useEffect
) to manage data fetching and state. -
Styling: Style the components using CSS or CSS-in-JS libraries like styled-components. Ensure responsiveness and an attractive user interface.
-
Searching: Implement searching with

to search different names of movies, such as the Name of the movie, date of release, and images if available.
-
Vercel Setup: Sign up or log in to Vercel. Connect your GitHub, GitLab, account to Vercel, allowing it to access your project repository.
-
Project Configuration: Import your project into Vercel by selecting the repository where your react-movieland app is stored. Configure build settings if necessary, though Vercel automatically detects and configures many projects.
-
Deployment: Deploy your application by pushing changes to your connected repository. Vercel automatically deploys new changes on push, providing a unique URL to access your live application.
-
Live Update and Domain Configuration: Once deployed, your app is live and accessible. We can configure a custom domain through Vercel's dashboard. Continuous deployment is supported, so every git push updates the live application.
This process results in a fully functional, publicly accessible movie web application built with React and hosted on Vercel, benefiting from Vercel's easy deployment, scalability, and out-of-the-box support for React applications.
