Transition to an API-First Approach with React: Recognizing the evolving needs of the modern web and the benefits of a decoupled architecture, Ingenious has embarked on a transformative journey towards an API-first approach. This paradigm shift means that our backend and frontend are developed and maintained as distinct entities, communicating primarily through well-defined APIs.
As part of this transition, while PHP continues to play a role, the frontend landscape at Ingenious is undergoing a significant metamorphosis. AngularJS is gradually being replaced by React, a modern, component-based JavaScript library that excels in building interactive user interfaces for single-page applications (SPAs).
