What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
-
Most Proud Of:
- Successfully implementing Context API for the first time to manage global state effectively.
- Overcoming the challenges of making form inputs mandatory before allowing navigation to the next step.
- Gaining a deeper understanding of Context API and how to manage complex state interactions.
-
What I Would Do Differently:
- Optimise the error-handling logic further for better scalability in larger forms.
- Explore custom hooks for cleaner and more reusable state logic.
- Challenges:
- Ensuring that users could not proceed to the next step without filling out the required personal information fields.
- Managing the global state using Context API for the first time, especially keeping track of form data across multiple steps.
- How I Overcame Them:
- For form validation, I implemented error-checking logic using
useEffectand tracked errors in the component state. This ensured users were alerted when a field was left empty. - By reading documentation and experimenting, I gained a solid understanding of how to structure and use Context API for handling multi-step form state. This included separating state management for plans, add-ons, and form data into logical contexts.
- For form validation, I implemented error-checking logic using
- Suggestions on how to optimize the state management for large forms with multiple nested contexts.
