## Project Description

Tatva is a dynamic web application that allows users to explore countries worldwide interactively. Built with Next.js and powered by the [REST Countries](https://restcountries.com) API, Tatva offers a real-time search, region-based filtering, and an intuitive UI for a seamless user experience.

## Features

- **Real-time Search**: Filter countries as you type, with instant results.
- **Interactive Map**: View countries on an interactive map with additional details, using [leaflet.js](https://github.com/PaulLeCam/react-leaflet)
- **Country Details Modal**: Click on a country to view more detailed information, including the flag, capital, population, and more.
- **Guess the flag**: Improve your geography by playing this game, and flex among your friends. [Play here](https://tatva-country.vercel.app/guess-the-flag)

## Technology Stack

- **Frontend**:
- **Next.js 14**: Chosen for its SSR capabilities, improved SEO, request caching, easy dynamic routing, and built-in loading states.
- **Tailwind CSS**: Offers flexibility with colors and utility classes for rapid styling.
- **ShadcnUI**: Provides common UI elements like input, button, and modal components, and integrates seamlessly with Tailwind CSS.
- **TypeScript**: Catches errors during development, saving time on debugging runtime issues, and provides better API response suggestions.
- **Lucide React**: Used for modern and customizable UI icons.
- **Tooling**:
- **Bun**: Utilized for its fast runtime, efficient package management, and smooth build processes.
- **API**: [REST Countries API](https://restcountries.com)
- **API Testing:** Postman - [Tatva Workspace](https://elements.getpostman.com/redirect?entityId=24002822-c6434bbf-53aa-44da-bd2f-67c7949c09a4&entityType=collection)
