The API documentation is accessible through Swagger UI at /api-docs when the application is running.

4. State Management Approach

Our state management approach uses a combination of:

1. React Context API for global UI state
2. TanStack React Query for server state
3. Local Component State for UI-specific state

React Context Implementation:

// src/context/AppContext.tsx
import { createContext, useContext, useState, ReactNode } from 'react';

interface AppContextType {
  theme: 'light' | 'dark';
  toggleTheme: () => void;
  user: User | null;
  setUser: (user: User | null) => void;
  isAuthenticated: boolean;
}

interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

const AppContext = createContext<AppContextType | undefined>(undefined);

export function AppProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState<'light' | 'dark'>('light');
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);

  const toggleTheme = () => {
    setTheme(prev => prev === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light');
  };

  return (
    <AppContext.Provider value={{
      theme,
      toggleTheme,
      user,
      setUser,
      isAuthenticated: !!user
    }}>
      {children}
    </AppContext.Provider>
  );
}

export function useAppContext() {
  const context = useContext(AppContext);
  if (context === undefined) {
    throw new Error('useAppContext must be used within an AppProvider');
  }
  return context;
}

React Query for Data Fetching:

// src/hooks/usePatterns.ts
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';

const fetchPatterns = async (filters = {}) => {
  const queryString = new URLSearchParams(filters).toString();
  const response = await fetch(`/api/patterns?${queryString}`);
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Failed to fetch patterns');
  }
  return response.json();
};

export function usePatterns(filters = {}) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['patterns', filters],
    queryFn: () => fetchPatterns(filters),
  });
}

export function usePattern(id: string) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['pattern', id],
    queryFn: async () => {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/patterns/${id}`);
      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error('Failed to fetch pattern');
      }
      return response.json();
    },
    enabled: !!id,
  });
}

5. Basic Routing Implementation

Our application uses React Router for client-side routing:

// src/App.tsx
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { AppProvider } from './context/AppContext';
import { Toaster } from './components/ui/toaster';

// Pages
import Index from './pages/Index';
import Catalog from './pages/Catalog';
import PatternDetail from './pages/PatternDetail';
import Dashboard from './pages/Dashboard';
import Documentation from './pages/Documentation';
import SignIn from './pages/SignIn';
import SignUp from './pages/SignUp';
import NotFound from './pages/NotFound';

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

function App() {
  return (
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <AppProvider>
        <BrowserRouter>
          <Routes>
            <Route path="/" element={<Index />} />
            <Route path="/catalog" element={<Catalog />} />
            <Route path="/pattern/:id" element={<PatternDetail />} />
            <Route path="/dashboard" element={<Dashboard />} />
            <Route path="/documentation" element={<Documentation />} />
            <Route path="/signin" element={<SignIn />} />
            <Route path="/signup" element={<SignUp />} />
            <Route path="*" element={<NotFound />} />
          </Routes>
          <Toaster />
        </BrowserRouter>
      </AppProvider>
    </QueryClientProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

Client-Side Flow:

1. User interacts with UI (clicks, inputs, navigation)
2. React components update local state and trigger events
3. React Query handles data fetching and caching
4. React Context maintains global state (authentication, theme)
5. Component re-renders display updated information

Server Communication Flow:

1. React Query initiates API requests based on user actions
2. API server processes requests and performs operations
3. Server returns data/errors to the client
4. React Query updates client cache with new data
5. UI components re-render with updated information

Authentication Flow:

1. User enters credentials on SignIn/SignUp pages
2. Client sends auth request to API server
3. Server validates credentials and returns JWT token
4. Client stores token in secure storage (e.g., HttpOnly cookies)
5. Subsequent requests include auth token in headers
6. Protected routes check auth status before rendering
