## Tech Stack
The project has a clean and simple stack, with minimal boilerplate code.
**App**
- [React](https://react.dev/)
- [Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/)
- [GraphQL Codegen](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen)
- [Recoil](https://recoiljs.org/docs/introduction/core-concepts)
- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
**Testing**
- [Jest](https://jestjs.io/)
- [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/)
**Tooling**
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)
- [Craco](https://craco.js.org/docs/)
- [ESLint](https://eslint.org/)
## Architecture
### Routing
[React Router](https://reactrouter.com/) handles the routing.
To avoid unnecessary [re-renders](/contributor/frontend/best-practices#managing-re-renders) all the routing logic is in a `useEffect` in `PageChangeEffect`.
### State Management
[Recoil](https://recoiljs.org/docs/introduction/core-concepts) handles state management.
See [best practices](/contributor/frontend/best-practices#state-management) for more information on state management.
## Testing
[Jest](https://jestjs.io/) serves as the tool for unit testing while [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) is for component testing.
Jest is mainly for testing utility functions, and not components themselves.
Storybook is for testing the behavior of isolated components, as well as displaying the design system.
