## Frontend Development Expertise:
### 1. **Modern React Development**
**Advanced React Patterns:**
```typescript
// Custom hooks for data fetching with caching
import { useState, useEffect, useCallback, useRef } from 'react';
interface UseApiOptions<T> {
initialData?: T;
dependencies?: any[];
cacheKey?: string;
ttl?: number;
}
interface ApiState<T> {
data: T | null;
loading: boolean;
error: Error | null;
refetch: () => Promise<void>;
}
const cache = new Map<string, { data: any; timestamp: number; ttl: number }>();
export function useApi<T>(
fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
options: UseApiOptions<T> = {}
): ApiState<T> {
const { initialData = null, dependencies = [], cacheKey, ttl = 300000 } = options;
const [state, setState] = useState<Omit<ApiState<T>, 'refetch'>>({
data: initialData,
loading: false,
error: null
});
const fetcherRef = useRef(fetcher);
fetcherRef.current = fetcher;
const fetchData = useCallback(async () => {
// Check cache first
if (cacheKey) {
const cached = cache.get(cacheKey);
if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < cached.ttl) {
setState(prev => ({ ...prev, data: cached.data, loading: false }));
return;
}
}
setState(prev => ({ ...prev, loading: true, error: null }));
try {
const data = await fetcherRef.current();
// Cache the result
if (cacheKey) {
cache.set(cacheKey, { data, timestamp: Date.now(), ttl });
}
setState({ data, loading: false, error: null });
} catch (error) {
setState(prev => ({
...prev,
loading: false,
error: error instanceof Error ? error : new Error(String(error))
}));
}
}, [cacheKey, ttl]);
useEffect(() => {
fetchData();
}, dependencies);
return {
...state,
refetch: fetchData
};
}
// Higher-order component for error boundaries
interface ErrorBoundaryState {
hasError: boolean;
error?: Error;
}
class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component<
React.PropsWithChildren<{
fallback?: React.ComponentType<{ error: Error; retry: () => void }>;
onError?: (error: Error, errorInfo: React.ErrorInfo) => void;
}>,
ErrorBoundaryState
> {
constructor(props: any) {
super(props);
this.state = { hasError: false };
}
static getDerivedStateFromError(error: Error): ErrorBoundaryState {
return { hasError: true, error };
}
componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: React.ErrorInfo) {
this.props.onError?.(error, errorInfo);
}
retry = () => {
this.setState({ hasError: false, error: undefined });
};
render() {
if (this.state.hasError) {
const FallbackComponent = this.props.fallback || DefaultErrorFallback;
return <FallbackComponent error={this.state.error!} retry={this.retry} />;
}
return this.props.children;
}
}
const DefaultErrorFallback: React.FC<{ error: Error; retry: () => void }> = ({ error, retry }) => (
<div className="error-boundary">
<h2>Something went wrong</h2>
<details>
<summary>Error details</summary>
<pre>{error.message}</pre>
</details>
<button onClick={retry}>Try again</button>
</div>
);
// Advanced form handling with validation
import { useForm, Controller } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod';
const userProfileSchema = z.object({
firstName: z.string().min(2, 'First name must be at least 2 characters'),
lastName: z.string().min(2, 'Last name must be at least 2 characters'),
email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
age: z.number().min(18, 'Must be at least 18 years old').max(120),
avatar: z.instanceof(File).optional(),
preferences: z.object({
newsletter: z.boolean(),
notifications: z.boolean()
})
});
type UserProfileForm = z.infer<typeof userProfileSchema>;
const UserProfileForm: React.FC<{
initialData?: Partial<UserProfileForm>;
onSubmit: (data: UserProfileForm) => Promise<void>;
}> = ({ initialData, onSubmit }) => {
const {
control,
handleSubmit,
formState: { errors, isSubmitting, isDirty },
watch,
setValue
} = useForm<UserProfileForm>({
resolver: zodResolver(userProfileSchema),
defaultValues: initialData
});
const watchedEmail = watch('email');
// Real-time email validation
const { data: emailAvailable } = useApi(
async () => {
if (!watchedEmail || !z.string().email().safeParse(watchedEmail).success) {
return null;
}
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/check-email?email=${encodeURIComponent(watchedEmail)}`);
return response.json();
},
{ dependencies: [watchedEmail], cacheKey: `email-check-${watchedEmail}` }
);
const onSubmitForm = async (data: UserProfileForm) => {
try {
await onSubmit(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Form submission error:', error);
}
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmitForm)} className="user-profile-form">
<div className="form-grid">
<Controller
name="firstName"
control={control}
render={({ field }) => (
<div className="form-field">
<label htmlFor="firstName">First Name</label>
<input
{...field}
id="firstName"
type="text"
className={errors.firstName ? 'error' : ''}
/>
{errors.firstName && (
<span className="error-message">{errors.firstName.message}</span>
)}
</div>
)}
/>
<Controller
name="lastName"
control={control}
render={({ field }) => (
<div className="form-field">
<label htmlFor="lastName">Last Name</label>
<input
{...field}
id="lastName"
type="text"
className={errors.lastName ? 'error' : ''}
/>
{errors.lastName && (
<span className="error-message">{errors.lastName.message}</span>
)}
</div>
)}
/>
</div>
<Controller
name="email"
control={control}
render={({ field }) => (
<div className="form-field">
<label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
<input
{...field}
id="email"
type="email"
className={errors.email ? 'error' : ''}
/>
{errors.email && (
<span className="error-message">{errors.email.message}</span>
)}
{emailAvailable === false && (
<span className="error-message">Email is already taken</span>
)}
{emailAvailable === true && (
<span className="success-message">Email is available</span>
)}
</div>
)}
/>
<Controller
name="avatar"
control={control}
render={({ field: { onChange, onBlur } }) => (
<div className="form-field">
<label htmlFor="avatar">Avatar</label>
<ImageUpload
onImageSelect={(file) => onChange(file)}
onBlur={onBlur}
accept="image/*"
maxSize={5 * 1024 * 1024} // 5MB
/>
</div>
)}

<button
type="submit"
disabled={isSubmitting || !isDirty}
className="submit-button"
>
{isSubmitting ? 'Saving...' : 'Save Profile'}
</button>
</form>
);
};
```
### 2. **State Management with Redux Toolkit**
```typescript
// Modern Redux store setup
import { configureStore, createSlice, createAsyncThunk } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
import { createApi, fetchBaseQuery } from '@reduxjs/toolkit/query/react';
// RTK Query API slice
export const apiSlice = createApi({
reducerPath: 'api',
baseQuery: fetchBaseQuery({
baseUrl: '/api',
prepareHeaders: (headers, { getState }) => {
const token = (getState() as RootState).auth.token;
if (token) {
headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`);
}
return headers;
}
}),
tagTypes: ['User', 'Product', 'Order'],
endpoints: (builder) => ({
getUser: builder.query<User, string>({
query: (id) => `users/${id}`,
providesTags: ['User']
}),
updateUser: builder.mutation<User, { id: string; data: Partial<User> }>({
query: ({ id, data }) => ({
url: `users/${id}`,
method: 'PUT',
body: data
}),
invalidatesTags: ['User']
}),
getProducts: builder.query<Product[], { category?: string; search?: string }>({
query: (params) => ({
url: 'products',
params
}),
providesTags: ['Product']
})
})
});
// Authentication slice
interface AuthState {
user: User | null;
token: string | null;
isLoading: boolean;
error: string | null;
}
const initialState: AuthState = {
user: null,
token: localStorage.getItem('token'),
isLoading: false,
error: null
};
export const loginAsync = createAsyncThunk(
'auth/login',
async ({ email, password }: { email: string; password: string }, { rejectWithValue }) => {
try {
const response = await fetch('/api/auth/login', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
});
if (!response.ok) {
const error = await response.json();
return rejectWithValue(error.message);
}
return await response.json();
} catch (error) {
return rejectWithValue('Network error');
}
}
);
const authSlice = createSlice({
name: 'auth',
initialState,
reducers: {
logout: (state) => {
state.user = null;
state.token = null;
localStorage.removeItem('token');
},
clearError: (state) => {
state.error = null;
}
},
extraReducers: (builder) => {
builder
.addCase(loginAsync.pending, (state) => {
state.isLoading = true;
state.error = null;
})
.addCase(loginAsync.fulfilled, (state, action) => {
state.isLoading = false;
state.user = action.payload.user;
state.token = action.payload.token;
localStorage.setItem('token', action.payload.token);
})
.addCase(loginAsync.rejected, (state, action) => {
state.isLoading = false;
state.error = action.payload as string;
});
}
});
export const { logout, clearError } = authSlice.actions;
// Store configuration
export const store = configureStore({
reducer: {
auth: authSlice.reducer,
api: apiSlice.reducer
},
middleware: (getDefaultMiddleware) =>
getDefaultMiddleware({
serializableCheck: {
ignoredActions: ['/api/'], // Ignore RTK Query actions
}
}).concat(apiSlice.middleware)
});
export type RootState = ReturnType<typeof store.getState>;
export type AppDispatch = typeof store.dispatch;
```

```
### 4. **Performance Optimization**
```typescript
// Code splitting and lazy loading
import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';
import { Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
// Lazy load components
const Dashboard = lazy(() => import('./pages/Dashboard'));
const UserProfile = lazy(() => import('./pages/UserProfile'));
const ProductCatalog = lazy(() => import('./pages/ProductCatalog'));
// Loading fallback component
const PageLoader: React.FC = () => (
<div className="page-loader">
<div className="spinner" />
<p>Loading...</p>
</div>
);
// Route configuration with lazy loading
const AppRoutes: React.FC = () => (
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route
path="/dashboard"
element={
<Suspense fallback={<PageLoader />}>
<Dashboard />
</Suspense>
}
/>
<Route
path="/profile"
element={
<Suspense fallback={<PageLoader />}>
<UserProfile />
</Suspense>
}
/>
<Route
path="/products"
element={
<Suspense fallback={<PageLoader />}>
<ProductCatalog />
</Suspense>
}
/>
</Routes>
);
// Virtual scrolling for large lists
import { FixedSizeList as List } from 'react-window';
interface VirtualizedListProps {
items: any[];
itemHeight: number;
renderItem: (props: { index: number; style: React.CSSProperties }) => React.ReactElement;
}
const VirtualizedList: React.FC<VirtualizedListProps> = ({ items, itemHeight, renderItem }) => (
<List
height={600}
itemCount={items.length}
itemSize={itemHeight}
itemData={items}
>
{renderItem}
</List>
);
// Image optimization with lazy loading
const OptimizedImage: React.FC<{
src: string;
alt: string;
className?: string;
sizes?: string;
}> = ({ src, alt, className, sizes }) => {
const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false);
const [inView, setInView] = useState(false);
const imgRef = useRef<HTMLImageElement>(null);
useEffect(() => {
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(
([entry]) => {
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
setInView(true);
observer.disconnect();
}
},
{ threshold: 0.1 }
);
if (imgRef.current) {
observer.observe(imgRef.current);
}
return () => observer.disconnect();
}, []);
const handleLoad = () => setLoaded(true);
return (
<div className={`image-container ${className || ''}`}>
<img
ref={imgRef}
src={inView ? src : undefined}
alt={alt}
sizes={sizes}
onLoad={handleLoad}
className={`image ${loaded ? 'loaded' : 'loading'}`}
loading="lazy"
/>
{!loaded && inView && (
<div className="image-placeholder">
<div className="spinner" />
</div>
)}
</div>
);
};
```
### 5. **Accessibility Implementation**
```typescript
// Accessible component patterns
const AccessibleModal: React.FC<{
isOpen: boolean;
onClose: () => void;
title: string;
children: React.ReactNode;
}> = ({ isOpen, onClose, title, children }) => {
const modalRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const previousFocusRef = useRef<HTMLElement | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
if (isOpen) {
previousFocusRef.current = document.activeElement as HTMLElement;
modalRef.current?.focus();
} else {
previousFocusRef.current?.focus();
}
}, [isOpen]);
useEffect(() => {
const handleEscape = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
if (event.key === 'Escape') {
onClose();
}
};
if (isOpen) {
document.addEventListener('keydown', handleEscape);
document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
}
return () => {
document.removeEventListener('keydown', handleEscape);
document.body.style.overflow = '';
};
}, [isOpen, onClose]);
if (!isOpen) return null;
return (
<div className="modal-overlay" onClick={onClose}>
<div
ref={modalRef}
className="modal"
role="dialog"
aria-modal="true"
aria-labelledby="modal-title"
tabIndex={-1}
onClick={(e) => e.stopPropagation()}
>
<div className="modal-header">
<h2 id="modal-title">{title}</h2>
<button
className="modal-close"
onClick={onClose}
aria-label="Close modal"
>
×
</button>
</div>
<div className="modal-content">
{children}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
};
// Accessible form components
const AccessibleInput: React.FC<{
label: string;
id: string;
error?: string;
description?: string;
required?: boolean;
} & React.InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement>> = ({
label,
id,
error,
description,
required,
...inputProps
}) => {
const errorId = `${id}-error`;
const descriptionId = `${id}-description`;
return (
<div className="form-field">
<label htmlFor={id} className={required ? 'required' : ''}>
{label}
</label>
{description && (
<p id={descriptionId} className="field-description">
{description}
</p>
)}
<input
{...inputProps}
id={id}
aria-invalid={error ? 'true' : 'false'}
aria-describedby={`${description ? descriptionId : ''} ${error ? errorId : ''}`.trim()}
className={`input ${error ? 'error' : ''}`}
/>
{error && (
<p id={errorId} className="error-message" role="alert">
{error}
</p>
)}
</div>
);
};
```
