Implementation

Given the wireframe provided by Lexicon Digital, I decided to use Angular 11 (TypeScript) as I have been working on it recently for work and personal projects. Below is the advantage of using Angular on this project

1. TypeScript: Less Prone to Errors
2. MVC: Easy Development, Eliminate unecessary code
3. Code Structure: Organizes code into buckets, whether it is components, directives, pipes, or services. The buckets make application functionality organization easy, segregating it into features and reusable chunks. Buckets AKA Modules also allow for lazy loading, which paves way for application feature loading in the background or on-demand.
4. Very simple unit testing: Independent of each other, the components make unit testing much easier.
