ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Action-Domain-Responder

Okay, let's imagine you are playing a game where you have a toy car (the action). Your friend tells you to drive it to the kitchen (the domain). Once you get to the kitchen, your friend responds by giving you a high-five (the responder). This is kinda like how the "action-domain-responder" design pattern works!

In programming and web development, "action-domain-responder" is a way for your computer to understand and respond to your actions, kind of like in our toy car game. Your computer knows what actions you want to take (like clicking a button or typing on the keyboard), it knows what area of the program or website you're in (the domain), and it knows how to respond to your actions (like showing you new information or moving to a different page).

So, when you click a button, your computer takes that action and sends it to the right part of the program or website to handle it (the domain). Then, the program or website "responds" by doing something, like showing you new information or moving you to a new page (the responder).

This pattern helps programmers keep their code organized and easy to understand, which makes it easier to fix and update in the future. So, just like our toy car game, "action-domain-responder" is a way for your computer to understand what you want, where you want it, and how to give it back to you in response.
