MVC Architecture

MVC is like a blueprint πŸ—οΈ that outlines how your web development code should be organized. 🧩 It helps structure both the front-end and back-end components of your application. In MVC, "M" stands for Model, where business logic and entity code reside. "V" represents View, which blends view models with HTML for user interfaces. "C" stands for Controller, where you handle API routes and manage interactions. πŸ–₯️

Use MVC when your project's functionality is interconnected 🀝 and you want a clear division between data handling, user interfaces, and application logic. It's often seen in single-page applications or projects with tightly coupled features.

On the other hand, Modular architecture divides your application into distinct modules πŸ“¦, allowing them to work independently. It's great when modules aren't closely related and the failure of one won't impact others. πŸš€ This is particularly useful for scalability and easier maintenance.

Yes, you can blend MVC within a Modular pattern! πŸ€Ήβ€β™‚οΈ Depending on your project's nature, you can structure each module following the MVC guidelines. This could help if certain modules have interrelated functionality and you want to maintain a consistent structure within them. Remember, it's all about choosing the right approach to suit your project's needs and maintainability. πŸ› οΈ
