Abstract:
In software development, clean code and clean architecture are crucial aspects that
ensure separation between business logic, application logic, and framework-related
code. However, in the dynamic world of web development, these approaches are not
commonly utilized due to the lack of standardization among frontend frameworks and
libraries. This often leads to complications in creating web applications. To address this
issue, a study was conducted to compare two approaches to building React applications
with calendar functionality. The study evaluated the time required to create the
applications, code usage, and ease of modifications. The research was conducted in two
stages: building and modifying. During the first stage, two researchers created two
calendar apps with the same use cases. The first researcher utilized React with clean
architecture, while the second one followed React's recommended approach. In the
second stage, a third researcher made uniform modifications to both apps. Clean code
architecture offers clear logic separation but requires significant development time. On
the other hand, React's recommended approach enables quicker modifications, which
may be influenced by app size and team expertise. The comparative analysis provides
developers with valuable information to make informed decisions on architectural
choices for scalability, maintainability, and modification ease. This study contributes to
the ongoing discussions on modern software development best practices. Further
analysis with more control groups and the development of larger apps would provide
more comprehensive results.
