Flixit is inspired by Netflix. I chose my top-5 genres to display on the site. Flixit has all the same basic functionalities as Netflix. Users manage personalized accounts by adding videos to their watch list. The application displays information in different forms to engage viewers.
The user authentication process takes place in a single form. The user has access to both sign in and sign out forms based on the current path.
Flixit uses the default video player framework with additional features (i.e., back to browser button).
The user has the ability to add any video present from the database to their personalized page, 'My List'. Once the video has been added to their list, they can remove or view the video from their page.
The core of the application is the MovieIndexItem component. Every single page will be passing props to the MovieIndexItem, which controls the information, and dropdown menus for each movie in its respective genre/type row. It's imperative that all movies have it's full description passed down as props. Using a combination of filtering and mapping arrays, I am able to create a playlist row on the front page.

Every single movie has a dropdown menu that provides a description of the movies. Through this dropdown menu, you can also play or add the movie to your playlist. If you hover over movies in the same row, the dropdown information will change to the hovered movie.
