Attribute-driven design

Attribute-driven design is like playing a game of Legos! Just like how you can build different things using Legos by putting the blocks together, attribute-driven design helps people who build computer programs to put different pieces of code together to create a program that will work just the way they want it to.

But, in attribute-driven design, we use something called "attributes" to help us put the code together in the right way. Attributes are like little tags that tell the computer what the code does or how it works.

For example, let’s say you’re building a program that helps people find the best pizza places near them. You might use attributes like "distance," "rating," and "price" to help the computer sort through all the pizza places and choose the ones that are closest, have the highest ratings, and are within the customer's price range.

So, attribute-driven design is all about using these little tags (attributes) to help us build programs that work in the way we want them to.
