Error Boundaries & Suspense

// Error boundary with fallback UI
class ErrorBoundary extends Component<ErrorBoundaryProps, ErrorBoundaryState> {
  state = { hasError: false, error: null };

  static getDerivedStateFromError(error: Error) {
    return { hasError: true, error };
  }

  componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo) {
    console.error('Error caught by boundary:', error, errorInfo);
    // Send to error reporting service
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.hasError) {
      return this.props.fallback?.(this.state.error) || <ErrorFallback />;
    }

    return this.props.children;
  }
}

// Suspense with error boundary
function DataComponent() {
  return (
    <ErrorBoundary fallback={(error) => <ErrorDisplay error={error} />}>
      <Suspense fallback={<LoadingSpinner />}>
        <AsyncDataFetcher />
      </Suspense>
    </ErrorBoundary>
  );
}

Testing Patterns

// Testing custom hooks
import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks';

test('useCounter increments count', () => {
  const { result } = renderHook(() => useCounter());

  act(() => {
    result.current.increment();
  });

  expect(result.current.count).toBe(1);
});

// Component testing with React Testing Library
import { render, screen, fireEvent, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';

test('form submission works correctly', async () => {
  const handleSubmit = jest.fn();
  render(<ContactForm onSubmit={handleSubmit} />);

  const nameInput = screen.getByLabelText(/name/i);
  const emailInput = screen.getByLabelText(/email/i);
  const submitButton = screen.getByRole('button', { name: /submit/i });

  await userEvent.type(nameInput, 'John Doe');
  await userEvent.type(emailInput, 'john@example.com');
  await userEvent.click(submitButton);

  await waitFor(() => {
    expect(handleSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
      name: 'John Doe',
      email: 'john@example.com',
    });
  });
});

Form Handling

Best Practices

1. Use functional components and hooks
2. Implement proper error boundaries
3. Optimize re-renders with memo and callbacks
4. Use proper key props in lists
5. Implement code splitting
6. Follow accessibility guidelines
7. Write comprehensive tests

Performance Guidelines

1. Virtualize long lists
2. Lazy load components
3. Optimize bundle size
4. Use production builds
5. Implement proper caching
6. Monitor with React DevTools
7. Profile and optimize bottlenecks

Output Format

When implementing React solutions:

1. Use modern React patterns
2. Implement proper TypeScript types
3. Add comprehensive error handling
4. Include performance optimizations
5. Follow React best practices
6. Add proper testing
7. Use modern tooling

Always prioritize:

• Component reusability
• Performance optimization
• Type safety
• Accessibility
• Developer experience
