🎯 Core Concepts

1. State Management: Redux vs React Query

Use Redux for:

• ✅ User authentication (login/logout)
• ✅ App-wide settings (theme, sidebar state)
• ✅ Data that needs to be shared everywhere

Use React Query for:

• ✅ API data (lists, details)
• ✅ Any server data
• ✅ Automatic caching and refetching

Use useState for:

• ✅ Local component state
• ✅ Form inputs
• ✅ UI toggles (dropdowns, tabs)

2. CSS Modules (Built-in - No Dependencies!)

Old Way (Global CSS):

import './Component.css';
<div className="container">

New Way (CSS Modules):

import styles from './Component.module.css';
<div className={styles.container}>  // Automatically scoped!

Benefits:

• No naming conflicts
• Better tree-shaking
• No extra build tools needed
• Just rename .css → .module.css

3. Constants - No Magic Strings!

// ❌ Bad
queryKey: ["pmschedules"];
setTimeout(fn, 600);

// ✅ Good
import { PM_SCHEDULES_LIST, DEBOUNCE_SEARCH } from "../constants";
queryKey: [PM_SCHEDULES_LIST];
setTimeout(fn, DEBOUNCE_SEARCH);

💻 Code Examples

Example 1: Loading Data with React Query

import { usePMSchedules } from "../hooks/api/usePMSchedules";
import { useDebounce, DEBOUNCE_SEARCH } from "../constants";

function PMScheduleList() {
  const [search, setSearch] = useState("");
  const debouncedSearch = useDebounce(search, DEBOUNCE_SEARCH);

  const { data, isLoading, error } = usePMSchedules({
    search: debouncedSearch,
    page: 1,
  });

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <input value={search} onChange={(e) => setSearch(e.target.value)} />
      <ul>
        {data.items.map((item) => (
          <li key={item.id}>{item.name}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
}

Example 2: Using Redux Auth

import { useAuth } from "../hooks/useAuth";

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

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return <button onClick={() => login(credentials)}>Login</button>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      Welcome {user.name}!<button onClick={logout}>Logout</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Example 3: Using Modals

import { useModal } from "../hooks/useModal";

function MyComponent() {
  const deleteModal = useModal();

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => deleteModal.open(item)}>Delete</button>

      {deleteModal.isOpen && (
        <Modal onClose={deleteModal.close}>Delete {deleteModal.data.name}?</Modal>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Example 4: CSS Modules

import styles from "./LoginPage.module.css";

function LoginPage() {
  return (
    <div className={styles.page}>
      <div className={styles.wrapper}>
        <div className={styles.panel}>
          <div className={styles.header}>
            <h5>User Login</h5>
          </div>
          <form className={styles.form}>
            <input className={styles.formControl} />
            <button className={styles.button}>Login</button>
          </form>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

🔧 Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Fetch and Display Data

const { data, isLoading, error } = useDataHook(params);

if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;
if (error) return <Error message={error.message} />;

return <Display data={data} />;

Pattern 2: Delete with Confirmation

const deleteMutation = useDeleteHook();
const deleteModal = useModal();

const handleDelete = async () => {
  await deleteMutation.mutateAsync(deleteModal.data.id);
  deleteModal.close();
  // Automatically refetches list!
};

// In JSX:
<button onClick={() => deleteModal.open(item)}>Delete</button>
<Modal isOpen={deleteModal.isOpen} onConfirm={handleDelete} />

Pattern 3: Search with Debounce

const [search, setSearch] = useState("");
const debouncedSearch = useDebounce(search, DEBOUNCE_SEARCH);

const { data } = useDataHook({ search: debouncedSearch });

// User types → waits 600ms → then searches

---

🔄 Migration Guide

Converting a Page to New Architecture

Step 1: Use React Query Hook

// Old
const [data, setData] = useState([]);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
  setLoading(true);
  fetchData()
    .then(setData)
    .finally(() => setLoading(false));
}, []);

// New
const { data, isLoading } = usePMSchedules({ page: 1 });

Step 2: Use Constants

// Old
const [search, setSearch] = useState("");
useEffect(() => {
  const timer = setTimeout(() => doSearch(search), 600);
  return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, [search]);

// New
import { DEBOUNCE_SEARCH } from "../constants";
const debouncedSearch = useDebounce(search, DEBOUNCE_SEARCH);

Step 3: Convert CSS to Modules

// 1. Rename: Component.css → Component.module.css
// 2. Update import: import styles from './Component.module.css';
// 3. Update JSX: className="foo" → className={styles.foo}

✅ What's Been Refactored

Pages

• ✅ LoginPage - Uses Redux for auth
• ✅ PM Schedules List - Uses React Query, constants, CSS Modules

Components

• ✅ Topbar - Uses Redux for user state
• ✅ DeleteModal - Reusable component

Hooks

• ✅ useAuth - Redux integration for login/logout
• ✅ useModal - Reusable modal state
• ✅ useDebounce - Search debouncing
• ✅ usePMSchedules - PM Schedule API with React Query
• ✅ useWorkOrders - Work Orders API
• ✅ useEmployees - Employees API

---

🎯 Best Practices

1. Always use constants - Never hardcode strings
2. Keep components thin - Move logic to hooks
3. Let React Query cache - Don't manually manage loading
4. Use CSS Modules - Avoid global styles
5. Follow patterns - Look at PM Schedules as example

---

📖 Quick Reference

File to Check for Examples

• src/pages/PmSchedule/list/List.js - Fully refactored list page
• src/pages/auth/LoginPage.js - Redux auth + CSS Modules
• src/hooks/api/usePMSchedules.js - React Query hook pattern
• src/components/Topbar.js - Redux integration

When You Need To...

Fetch data from API: → Create/use a hook in src/hooks/api/

Add a new constant: → Add to src/constants/index.js

Create a new page: → Copy pattern from PM Schedules List.js

Style a component: → Create Component.module.css and import it

Access user info: → Use const { user } = useAuth()

Show a confirmation modal: → Use const modal = useModal()

---

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Issue: Constants not found

Solution: Make sure you're importing from '../constants' (folder) not '../constants.js' (old file)

Issue: CSS not scoped

Solution: File must be named .module.css and imported as import styles from

Issue: Redux state not updating

Solution: Make sure you're using the hooks (useAuth, useSelector) not direct access

Issue: React Query not caching

Solution: Check that query keys use constants and are consistent

---
