Gautama React is a feature-rich Buddhist Temple web application built as a fully functional React 18 app using Vite and Bootstrap 5. It ships with 24+ page-level components, a filterable photo gallery, a full e-commerce module with cart and checkout, a blog module, all built with modern functional React and zero class components.

Built for React developers delivering Buddhist temple and meditation-centre sites and applications. The codebase uses hooks exclusively — useState, useEffect, useContext, useRef, and custom hooks for state management and side effects. Every UI section is an isolated, reusable component. Swap the static JSON data sources for any REST API or headless CMS and the UI layer is immediately production-ready.

Everything in the Package

• 24+ page-level React components with React Router v6 client-side routing
• React 18 with Vite — fast HMR dev server and optimised production build out of the box
• React Router v6 — client-side routing with lazy-loaded page components via React.lazy()
• Bootstrap 5 — responsive grid and utility classes, no jQuery dependency
• React Context and useReducer for global state management (cart, filters, UI state)
• React Hook Form — field validation, error messages, and submission state on all forms
• Swiper React — touch-friendly carousels via SwiperSlide components
• All data sourced from typed JSON files in src/data/ — swap to fetch() or axios for live API
• Retina-ready, fully responsive from 320px to 1920px+
• ESLint configured — Airbnb ruleset with React Hooks plugin
• React Helmet Async — per-route title and meta description for SEO
• PropTypes defined on every component for clear prop contracts

Component Architecture

• Page components map 1:1 to routes — each in its own file under src/pages/
• Shared components: Navbar, Footer, BackToTop, and feature-specific cards and widgets
• Custom hooks encapsulate side effects and shared logic — separate from JSX templates
• React.lazy() and Suspense applied to secondary page bundles — code-split on route change
• CartContext (or FilterContext) wraps the router at root level — state accessible on every route
• useReducer manages complex state (cart, multi-step forms) — predictable action/state flow
• Folder structure: src/pages/, src/components/, src/hooks/, src/context/, src/data/
