Built on: Next.js Server side rendering for list & movie details to hide api token - Could possibly use Route Handler

Switched to Tailwindcss for styling. Was using chakra ui components but it isn't server-side render friendly

Using React Context because Redux is cool for a good number of things, but when built correctly - React Context is powerful enough for most apps. It can be layered if need be, but for this example we will stick with a simple context:

Since we're using server side rendering for pages that fetch data, we don't need a lot of state management. We can implement Context in a client component for managing "Favorites" for a user if we'd like this might look like:

favorites/page.tsx

cosnt FavoriteContext = createContext({ favorites, addFavorite })

const FavoriteProvider = ()=>{ // local state management return (

) }

const { searchResults } = useContext(FavoriteContext);
