Phase 6: UI Implementation + API Integration

Actual UI implementation and API integration

Purpose

Implement actual screens using design system components and integrate with APIs.

What to Do in This Phase

1. Page Implementation: Develop each screen
2. State Management: Handle client state
3. API Integration: Call backend APIs
4. Error Handling: Handle loading and error states

PDCA Application

• Plan: Define screens/features to implement
• Design: Component structure, state management design
• Do: UI implementation + API integration
• Check: Zero Script QA
• Act: Fix bugs and proceed to Phase 7

Level-wise Application

Level	Application Method
Starter	Static UI only (no API integration)
Dynamic	Full integration
Enterprise	Full integration + optimization

API Client Architecture

Why is a Centralized API Client Needed?

Problem (Scattered API Calls)	Solution (Centralized Client)
Duplicate error handling logic	Common error handler
Distributed auth token handling	Automatic token injection
Inconsistent response formats	Standardized response types
Multiple changes when endpoint changes	Single point of management
Difficult testing/mocking	Easy mock replacement

API Client Implementation

1. Basic API Client (lib/api/client.ts)

// lib/api/client.ts
import { ApiError, ApiResponse } from '@/types/api.types';

const BASE_URL = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL || '/api';

interface RequestConfig extends RequestInit {
  params?: Record<string, string>;
}

class ApiClient {
  private baseUrl: string;

  constructor(baseUrl: string) {
    this.baseUrl = baseUrl;
  }

  private async request<T>(
    endpoint: string,
    config: RequestConfig = {}
  ): Promise<ApiResponse<T>> {
    const { params, ...init } = config;

    // URL parameter handling
    const url = new URL(`${this.baseUrl}${endpoint}`);
    if (params) {
      Object.entries(params).forEach(([key, value]) => {
        url.searchParams.append(key, value);
      });
    }

    // Default header settings
    const headers = new Headers(init.headers);
    if (!headers.has('Content-Type')) {
      headers.set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    }

    // Automatic auth token injection
    const token = this.getAuthToken();
    if (token) {
      headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`);
    }

    try {
      const response = await fetch(url.toString(), {
        ...init,
        headers,
      });

      return this.handleResponse<T>(response);
    } catch (error) {
      throw this.handleNetworkError(error);
    }
  }

  private async handleResponse<T>(response: Response): Promise<ApiResponse<T>> {
    const data = await response.json();

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new ApiError(
        data.error?.code || 'UNKNOWN_ERROR',
        data.error?.message || 'An error occurred',
        response.status,
        data.error?.details
      );
    }

    return data as ApiResponse<T>;
  }

  private handleNetworkError(error: unknown): ApiError {
    if (error instanceof TypeError && error.message === 'Failed to fetch') {
      return new ApiError('NETWORK_ERROR', 'Please check your network connection.', 0);
    }
    return new ApiError('UNKNOWN_ERROR', 'An unknown error occurred.', 0);
  }

  private getAuthToken(): string | null {
    if (typeof window === 'undefined') return null;
    return localStorage.getItem('auth_token');
  }

  // HTTP method wrappers
  get<T>(endpoint: string, params?: Record<string, string>) {
    return this.request<T>(endpoint, { method: 'GET', params });
  }

  post<T>(endpoint: string, body?: unknown) {
    return this.request<T>(endpoint, {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify(body),
    });
  }

  put<T>(endpoint: string, body?: unknown) {
    return this.request<T>(endpoint, {
      method: 'PUT',
      body: JSON.stringify(body),
    });
  }

  patch<T>(endpoint: string, body?: unknown) {
    return this.request<T>(endpoint, {
      method: 'PATCH',
      body: JSON.stringify(body),
    });
  }

  delete<T>(endpoint: string) {
    return this.request<T>(endpoint, { method: 'DELETE' });
  }
}

export const apiClient = new ApiClient(BASE_URL);

2. Common Type Definitions (types/api.types.ts)

// types/api.types.ts

// ===== Standard API Response Format (matches Phase 4) =====

/** Success response */
export interface ApiResponse<T> {
  data: T;
  meta?: {
    timestamp: string;
    requestId?: string;
  };
}

/** Paginated response */
export interface PaginatedResponse<T> extends ApiResponse<T[]> {
  pagination: {
    page: number;
    limit: number;
    total: number;
    totalPages: number;
  };
}

/** Error response */
export interface ApiErrorResponse {
  error: {
    code: string;
    message: string;
    details?: Array<{
      field: string;
      message: string;
    }>;
  };
}

// ===== Error Class =====

export class ApiError extends Error {
  constructor(
    public code: string,
    message: string,
    public status: number,
    public details?: Array<{ field: string; message: string }>
  ) {
    super(message);
    this.name = 'ApiError';
  }

  /** Check if validation error */
  isValidationError(): boolean {
    return this.code === 'VALIDATION_ERROR' && !!this.details;
  }

  /** Check if auth error */
  isAuthError(): boolean {
    return this.status === 401 || this.code === 'UNAUTHORIZED';
  }

  /** Check if forbidden error */
  isForbiddenError(): boolean {
    return this.status === 403 || this.code === 'FORBIDDEN';
  }

  /** Check if not found error */
  isNotFoundError(): boolean {
    return this.status === 404 || this.code === 'NOT_FOUND';
  }
}

// ===== Common Error Codes =====

export const ERROR_CODES = {
  // Client errors
  VALIDATION_ERROR: 'VALIDATION_ERROR',
  UNAUTHORIZED: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
  FORBIDDEN: 'FORBIDDEN',
  NOT_FOUND: 'NOT_FOUND',
  CONFLICT: 'CONFLICT',

  // Server errors
  INTERNAL_ERROR: 'INTERNAL_ERROR',
  SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: 'SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE',

  // Network errors
  NETWORK_ERROR: 'NETWORK_ERROR',
  TIMEOUT_ERROR: 'TIMEOUT_ERROR',
} as const;

export type ErrorCode = typeof ERROR_CODES[keyof typeof ERROR_CODES];

Service Layer Pattern

Domain-specific Service Separation

// services/auth.service.ts
import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api/client';
import { User, LoginRequest, LoginResponse, SignupRequest } from '@/types/auth.types';

export const authService = {
  /** Login */
  login(credentials: LoginRequest) {
    return apiClient.post<LoginResponse>('/auth/login', credentials);
  },

  /** Signup */
  signup(data: SignupRequest) {
    return apiClient.post<User>('/auth/signup', data);
  },

  /** Logout */
  logout() {
    return apiClient.post<void>('/auth/logout');
  },

  /** Get current user info */
  getMe() {
    return apiClient.get<User>('/auth/me');
  },

  /** Refresh token */
  refreshToken() {
    return apiClient.post<LoginResponse>('/auth/refresh');
  },
};

// services/product.service.ts
import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api/client';
import { Product, ProductFilter, CreateProductRequest } from '@/types/product.types';
import { PaginatedResponse } from '@/types/api.types';

export const productService = {
  /** Get product list */
  getList(filter?: ProductFilter) {
    const params = filter ? {
      page: String(filter.page || 1),
      limit: String(filter.limit || 20),
      ...(filter.category && { category: filter.category }),
      ...(filter.search && { search: filter.search }),
    } : undefined;

    return apiClient.get<PaginatedResponse<Product>>('/products', params);
  },

  /** Get product details */
  getById(id: string) {
    return apiClient.get<Product>(`/products/${id}`);
  },

  /** Create product */
  create(data: CreateProductRequest) {
    return apiClient.post<Product>('/products', data);
  },

  /** Update product */
  update(id: string, data: Partial<CreateProductRequest>) {
    return apiClient.patch<Product>(`/products/${id}`, data);
  },

  /** Delete product */
  delete(id: string) {
    return apiClient.delete<void>(`/products/${id}`);
  },
};

---

Error Handling Pattern

Global Error Handler

// lib/api/error-handler.ts
import { ApiError, ERROR_CODES } from '@/types/api.types';
import { toast } from 'sonner'; // or another toast library

interface ErrorHandlerOptions {
  showToast?: boolean;
  redirectOnAuth?: boolean;
  customMessages?: Record<string, string>;
}

export function handleApiError(
  error: unknown,
  options: ErrorHandlerOptions = {}
): void {
  const { showToast = true, redirectOnAuth = true, customMessages = {} } = options;

  if (!(error instanceof ApiError)) {
    console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
    if (showToast) {
      toast.error('An unknown error occurred.');
    }
    return;
  }

  // Use custom message if available
  const message = customMessages[error.code] || error.message;

  // Handle by error type
