🏗️ Architecture & Design Decisions

Component Structure

src/
├── App.tsx              # Main application component
├── main.tsx            # React entry point
├── index.css           # Global styles
└── components/         # Reusable components (future expansion)

Key Design Decisions

  1. Single File Architecture: For this scope, all components are in App.tsx for simplicity while maintaining clear separation of concerns.

  2. Mock Data Strategy: Used realistic mock data to simulate API responses, making it easy to replace with real API calls later.

  3. Search Implementation: Client-side filtering for instant results. In production, this would be server-side for large datasets.

  4. State Management: Used React's built-in useState and useMemo for efficient state management without external libraries.

  5. Responsive Design: Mobile-first approach with Tailwind's responsive utilities.

  6. Accessibility: Semantic HTML, proper ARIA labels, and keyboard navigation support.

Assumptions Made

  • Data Source: Contacts are stored in local state (simulating API data)
  • Search Scope: Search includes name, email, and company fields
  • Image Handling: Used Pexels for demo avatars with fallback to generated avatars
  • Form Validation: Basic client-side validation (name, email, phone required)
  • Browser Support: Modern browsers with ES6+ support
