Modern Stack in Action
Live demonstrations of patterns that are impossible or extremely difficult with traditional PHP/HTML. These components are running as React Client Components with real state management.
Real-time Shopping Cart
Instant UI updates with React state -- no page reload needed. In PHP this would require AJAX + DOM manipulation.

Real-time Search, Filter & Sort
Instant filtering with zero server round-trips. In PHP, each filter change requires a form submit and page reload.

Animated Tab Navigation
Smooth transitions between content panels using Framer Motion. State persists across tab switches without re-fetching.
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It introduces a component-based architecture with a virtual DOM for efficient updates. React 19 adds Server Components, Actions, and use() for data loading.
Why These Demos Matter
In PHP / Traditional HTML
- Shopping Cart: Each add/remove action requires an AJAX call + manual DOM update, or a full page reload
- Search & Filter: Every keystroke or filter change sends a form POST to the server and reloads the page
- Tab Navigation: Tabs require jQuery plugins or custom JS with manual content swapping and no animation state
In React / Next.js
- Shopping Cart: React state updates instantly. useOptimistic provides immediate feedback before server confirmation
- Search & Filter: Client-side filtering is instant with zero network requests. Debounced server search when needed
- Tab Navigation: Framer Motion provides layout animations with spring physics. State persists across transitions
