# Developer Quick Reference Guide

## Common Patterns

### 1. Adding Notifications to a Component

```typescript
import { useNotification } from '../contexts/NotificationContext';

function MyComponent() {
  const notification = useNotification();

  const handleAction = async () => {
    try {
      await performAction();
      notification.showSuccess('Aktion erfolgreich durchgeführt');
    } catch (error) {
      notification.showError('Aktion fehlgeschlagen');
    }
  };
}
```

### 2. Implementing Loading States

```typescript
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import SkeletonCard from '../components/shared/SkeletonCard';
import { Fade } from '@mui/material';

function MyComponent() {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData().then(data => {
      setData(data);
      setLoading(false);
    });
  }, []);

  if (loading) {
    return <SkeletonCard variant="basic" />;
  }

  return (
    <Fade in={true} timeout={600}>
      <div>{/* Your content */}</div>
    </Fade>
  );
}
```

### 3. Displaying Empty States

```typescript
import EmptyState from '../components/shared/EmptyState';
import { FolderOpen } from '@mui/icons-material';

function DataList({ items }) {
  if (items.length === 0) {
    return (
      <EmptyState
        icon={<FolderOpen />}
        title="Keine Daten vorhanden"
        message="Es wurden noch keine Einträge erstellt."
        action={{
          label: 'Neuen Eintrag erstellen',
          onClick: () => navigate('/create')
        }}
      />
    );
  }

  return <div>{/* Render items */}</div>;
}
```

### 4. API Calls with Error Handling

```typescript
import { api } from '../services/api';
import { useNotification } from '../contexts/NotificationContext';

function MyComponent() {
  const notification = useNotification();

  const fetchData = async () => {
    try {
      const response = await api.get('/endpoint');
      return response.data;
    } catch (error: any) {
      notification.showError(
        error.message || 'Fehler beim Laden der Daten'
      );
      throw error;
    }
  };
}
```

### 5. Protected Route Pattern

```typescript
import ProtectedRoute from '../components/auth/ProtectedRoute';

// In App.tsx or routing configuration
<Route
  path="/protected"
  element={
    <ProtectedRoute>
      <MyProtectedComponent />
    </ProtectedRoute>
  }
/>
```

### 6. Accessing Auth Context

```typescript
import { useAuth } from '../contexts/AuthContext';

function MyComponent() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated, logout } = useAuth();

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return null;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Willkommen, {user?.name}</p>
      <button onClick={logout}>Abmelden</button>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### 7. Using Custom Theme

```typescript
import { useTheme } from '@mui/material';

function MyComponent() {
  const theme = useTheme();

  return (
    <Box
      sx={{
        backgroundColor: theme.palette.primary.main,
        color: theme.palette.primary.contrastText,
        padding: theme.spacing(2),
        borderRadius: theme.shape.borderRadius,
      }}
    >
      Content
    </Box>
  );
}
```

### 8. Accessibility Best Practices

```typescript
// Always add ARIA labels
<IconButton
  aria-label="Menü öffnen"
  onClick={handleOpen}
>
  <MenuIcon />
</IconButton>

// Use Tooltips for icon-only buttons
<Tooltip title="Einstellungen öffnen">
  <IconButton aria-label="Einstellungen öffnen">
    <SettingsIcon />
  </IconButton>
</Tooltip>

// Proper form labels
<TextField
  label="E-Mail-Adresse"
  type="email"
  required
  aria-required="true"
  helperText="Bitte geben Sie eine gültige E-Mail-Adresse ein"
/>
```

### 9. Responsive Design Pattern

```typescript
import { Box, useMediaQuery, useTheme } from '@mui/material';

function MyComponent() {
  const theme = useTheme();
  const isMobile = useMediaQuery(theme.breakpoints.down('sm'));

  return (
    <Box
      sx={{
        padding: isMobile ? 2 : 4,
        flexDirection: isMobile ? 'column' : 'row',
      }}
    >
      {/* Content */}
    </Box>
  );
}
```

### 10. Staggered Animations

```typescript
import { Fade } from '@mui/material';

function ItemList({ items }) {
  return (
    <>
      {items.map((item, index) => (
        <Fade
          key={item.id}
          in={true}
          timeout={600}
          style={{ transitionDelay: `${index * 100}ms` }}
        >
          <div>{item.name}</div>
        </Fade>
      ))}
    </>
  );
}
```

## Common Components

### SkeletonCard Variants

```typescript
// Basic skeleton - simple text lines
<SkeletonCard variant="basic" />

// With avatar - includes circular avatar
<SkeletonCard variant="withAvatar" />

// Detailed - complex content with image
<SkeletonCard variant="detailed" />
```

### Notification Severity Levels

```typescript
const notification = useNotification();

// Success (green)
notification.showSuccess('Erfolgreich gespeichert');

// Error (red)
notification.showError('Fehler beim Speichern');

// Warning (orange)
notification.showWarning('Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Eingabe');

// Info (blue)
notification.showInfo('Dies ist eine Information');
```

## Styling Patterns

### Using Theme Colors

```typescript
// Primary color
sx={{ color: 'primary.main' }}
sx={{ bgcolor: 'primary.light' }}

// Error/Success/Warning/Info
sx={{ color: 'error.main' }}
sx={{ bgcolor: 'success.light' }}

// Text colors
sx={{ color: 'text.primary' }}
sx={{ color: 'text.secondary' }}

// Background
sx={{ bgcolor: 'background.default' }}
sx={{ bgcolor: 'background.paper' }}
```

### Spacing

```typescript
// Using theme spacing (8px base)
sx={{
  p: 2,        // padding: 16px
  mt: 3,       // margin-top: 24px
  mb: 4,       // margin-bottom: 32px
  gap: 2,      // gap: 16px
}}
```

### Responsive Breakpoints

```typescript
sx={{
  fontSize: { xs: '1rem', sm: '1.25rem', md: '1.5rem' },
  display: { xs: 'none', sm: 'block' },
  width: { xs: '100%', sm: '50%', md: '33.33%' },
}}
```

## Error Handling Checklist

- [ ] Wrap async operations in try-catch
- [ ] Show user-friendly error messages
- [ ] Log errors to console for debugging
- [ ] Handle network errors specifically
- [ ] Handle authentication errors (401)
- [ ] Handle permission errors (403)
- [ ] Provide recovery actions when possible
- [ ] Don't expose sensitive error details to users

## Performance Tips

1. Use React.memo for components that render often
2. Use useMemo for expensive calculations
3. Use useCallback for event handlers passed to children
4. Implement proper loading states
5. Use lazy loading for large components
6. Optimize images (compress, use correct format)
7. Keep bundle size small (check build warnings)
8. Use skeleton loaders instead of spinners

## Accessibility Checklist

- [ ] All images have alt text
- [ ] All form inputs have labels
- [ ] All buttons have descriptive text or ARIA labels
- [ ] Color is not the only means of conveying information
- [ ] Focus indicators are visible
- [ ] Keyboard navigation works throughout
- [ ] Headings are in logical order (h1, h2, h3...)
- [ ] ARIA labels on icon buttons
- [ ] Error messages are announced to screen readers

## Testing Commands

```bash
# Development server
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Preview production build

```

## File Naming Conventions

- Components: PascalCase (e.g., `MyComponent.tsx`)
- Hooks: camelCase with 'use' prefix (e.g., `useMyHook.ts`)
- Utilities: camelCase (e.g., `myHelper.ts`)
- Types: PascalCase (e.g., `MyType.ts`)
- Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE in files named lowercase

## Import Order

1. React and React libraries
2. Third-party libraries (Material-UI, etc.)
3. Internal contexts
4. Internal components
5. Internal utilities
6. Types
7. Styles

Example:
```typescript
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Box, Typography } from '@mui/material';
import { useAuth } from '../contexts/AuthContext';
import { useNotification } from '../contexts/NotificationContext';
import MyComponent from '../components/MyComponent';
import { formatDate } from '../utils/dateHelpers';
import { User } from '../types/auth.types';
```

## Useful VS Code Snippets

Add to your `.vscode/snippets.code-snippets`:
