• Grid
• Node
• A*

Grid.tsx

Holds the logic behind displaying and animating the algorithm and all of the event handlers used by the Node component.
also style file : Grid.css

Node.tsx

Simple dumb component responsible only for displaying a single node and calling the proper event handler .
style file contains the animation keyframes : node.css

A*.tsx

Contains the algorithm logic , mainly a function aStar()

const aStar: (
	grid: INode[][],
	 start: INode,
	 end: INode
	 ) => INode[] | undefined

NodeInterface.tsx

contains an interface to represent a single node and a function to compare nodes.
