Phase 6: UI Integration

Connect frontend components with backend APIs and implement state management.

Purpose

Phase 6 bridges the gap between Phase 5 (design system) and Phase 4 (API). This phase wires up data fetching, state management, error handling, and user interactions to create a fully functional application. Every page becomes alive with real data.

Actions

Deliverables

1. API Client - Configured HTTP client with interceptors and error handling
2. Data Fetching Hooks - TanStack Query hooks for each API resource
3. State Management - Global state stores (Zustand) for cross-cutting concerns
4. Page Implementations - All pages connected with real data
5. Form Handling - Validated forms with react-hook-form + Zod
6. Error Boundaries - Graceful error handling at every level
7. Loading States - Skeleton loaders and progress indicators

Process

Step 1: API Client Setup

Create a centralized API client with request/response interceptors:

// lib/api-client.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import { useAuthStore } from '@/stores/auth-store';

const apiClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL,
  timeout: 10000,
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});

apiClient.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  const token = useAuthStore.getState().accessToken;
  if (token) config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`;
  return config;
});

apiClient.interceptors.response.use(
  (response) => response,
  async (error) => {
    if (error.response?.status === 401) {
      useAuthStore.getState().logout();
      window.location.href = '/login';
    }
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);

export default apiClient;

Step 2: Data Fetching with TanStack Query

Query Key Factory

// lib/query-keys.ts
export const queryKeys = {
  users: {
    all: ['users'] as const,
    list: (filters?: UserFilters) => ['users', 'list', filters] as const,
    detail: (id: string) => ['users', 'detail', id] as const,
  },
  posts: {
    all: ['posts'] as const,
    list: (filters?: PostFilters) => ['posts', 'list', filters] as const,
    detail: (id: string) => ['posts', 'detail', id] as const,
  },
};

Query and Mutation Hooks

// features/users/hooks/useUsers.ts
export function useUsers(filters?: UserFilters) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: queryKeys.users.list(filters),
    queryFn: () => userService.list(filters),
    staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000,
  });
}

export function useCreateUser() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: userService.create,
    onSuccess: () => queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: queryKeys.users.all }),
  });
}

Provider Setup

// app/providers.tsx
'use client';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { useState } from 'react';

export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [queryClient] = useState(() => new QueryClient({
    defaultOptions: {
      queries: { staleTime: 60 * 1000, retry: 1, refetchOnWindowFocus: false },
    },
  }));
  return <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>;
}

Step 3: State Management with Zustand

// stores/auth-store.ts
import { create } from 'zustand';
import { persist } from 'zustand/middleware';

interface AuthState {
  user: User | null;
  accessToken: string | null;
  isAuthenticated: boolean;
  setAuth: (user: User, token: string) => void;
  logout: () => void;
}

export const useAuthStore = create<AuthState>()(
  persist(
    (set) => ({
      user: null, accessToken: null, isAuthenticated: false,
      setAuth: (user, accessToken) => set({ user, accessToken, isAuthenticated: true }),
      logout: () => set({ user: null, accessToken: null, isAuthenticated: false }),
    }),
    { name: 'auth-storage' }
  )
);

Step 4: Optimistic Updates

export function useDeleteUser() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: userService.delete,
    onMutate: async (deletedId) => {
      await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: queryKeys.users.all });
      const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(queryKeys.users.list());
      queryClient.setQueryData(queryKeys.users.list(), (old: User[] | undefined) =>
        old?.filter((user) => user.id !== deletedId)
      );
      return { previous };
    },
    onError: (_err, _id, context) => {
      queryClient.setQueryData(queryKeys.users.list(), context?.previous);
    },
    onSettled: () => queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: queryKeys.users.all }),
  });
}

Step 5: Form Handling with react-hook-form + Zod

import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod';

const createUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
  name: z.string().min(2, 'Name must be at least 2 characters').max(100),
  role: z.enum(['user', 'admin']).default('user'),
});

type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof createUserSchema>;

export function CreateUserForm({ onSuccess }: { onSuccess?: () => void }) {
  const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors }, reset } = useForm<CreateUserInput>({
    resolver: zodResolver(createUserSchema),
  });
  const createUser = useCreateUser();

  return (
    <form => createUser.mutate(data, {
      onSuccess: () => { reset(); onSuccess?.(); },
    }))} className="space-y-4">
      <FormField label="Email" error={errors.email?.message} required>
        <Input type="email" {...register('email')} />
      </FormField>
      <FormField label="Name" error={errors.name?.message} required>
        <Input {...register('name')} />
      </FormField>
      <Button type="submit" isLoading={createUser.isPending}>Create User</Button>
    </form>
  );
}

Step 6: Error and Loading States

// components/patterns/AsyncState.tsx
interface AsyncStateProps<T> {
  data: T | undefined;
  isLoading: boolean;
  error: Error | null;
  children: (data: T) => React.ReactNode;
}

export function AsyncState<T>({ data, isLoading, error, children }: AsyncStateProps<T>) {
  if (isLoading) return <Skeleton />;
  if (error) return <ErrorMessage error={error} />;
  if (!data || (Array.isArray(data) && data.length === 0)) return <EmptyState />;
  return <>{children(data)}</>;
}

Level-wise Application

Integration Patterns

See references/integration-patterns.md for detailed patterns:

• Data fetching strategy matrix (server-side, client-side, optimistic, real-time)
• Loading state pattern with skeletons
• Form handling with react-hook-form + Zod
• Route protection middleware
• Toast notification store

PDCA Application

• Plan: Map every page to its API endpoints and state requirements
• Design: Define data flow diagrams and state structure
• Do: Implement pages with API integration, one feature at a time
• Check: Test all user flows end-to-end; verify error states
• Act: Fix issues, optimize performance, proceed to Phase 7
