Expo Fitness Mobile App

Overview

The Expo Fitness Mobile App is a fitness application developed to help users to manage their workout plans efficiently. The app integrates an extensive exercise database, user authentication, state management, and data persistence.

Features

• User Authentication: Secure user authentication using Firebase.
• Workout Database: Integration with RapidAPI ExerciseDB for fetching workout data.
• State Management: Efficient state management with Redux.
• Session Persistence: User session persistence with Async Storage.

Architecture

Architecture Components

1. Frontend:

   • React Native with Expo: For building the mobile user interface.
   • Redux: Handles state management for efficient application state updates.
   • Async Storage: Used for persisting user session data locally.

2. API:

   • RapidAPI ExerciseDB: Provides access to an extensive database of workout exercises.

3. Backend:

   • Firebase:
     • Authentication: Ensures secure user login and registration.
     • Firestore: For storing user-specific data such as workout logs and preferences.

Data Flow

1. The user interacts with the frontend built using React Native.
2. API calls to RapidAPI ExerciseDB fetch workout data.
3. Firebase handles user authentication and stores user data in Firestore.
4. State management is handled by Redux to maintain the consistency of application state.
5. Async Storage is used to persist user sessions and local data.
