Technical Architecture

T-Clock is built on top of the following core technologies and frameworks:

• Frontend Framework: React JavaScript library
• Backend Framework: Node.js with Express
• Database: MongoDB for data storage
• API: T-Clock API provides access to various features, such as clock customization, weather updates, and notifications.

T-Clock's software architecture is based on the following components:

1. Clock Component: Handles user interactions, rendering the clock display.
2. Weather Service: Fetches current weather conditions from OpenWeatherMap API.
3. Notification Service: Sends push notifications to users using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

Performance considerations for T-Clock include:

• Async Operations: All asynchronous operations are handled using Node.js callbacks or Promises to ensure non-blocking I/O and improved performance.
• Memory Management: Efficient memory management is crucial to prevent crashes due to resource exhaustion. The application uses a combination of caching and lazy loading to minimize memory usage.

Dependencies

T-Clock relies on the following dependencies:

1. Libraries:

   • React (v17.0.2)
   • Express (v4.17.1)
   • MongoDB (v4.4.3)
   • Node.js (v14.17.0)

2. Prerequisite Software:

   • A compatible web browser with the specified minimum versions
   • A valid Windows license and meeting system requirements

3. Compatibility Concerns or Version Requirements:

   • T-Clock supports major browsers, but compatibility may vary for older or less-supported versions.
   • Make sure you are running a recent version of Node.js to ensure optimal performance.

Note: T-Clock requires an active internet connection to function properly. While it's possible to use the offline mode for a limited time, frequent network disconnections can cause issues with synchronization and data consistency.
