Enhancing Frontend Components and Utilities

[srijan2607]

FEATURE REQUEST

Problem Description:
The current codebase lacks several standardized utilities and components that would improve developer experience, code reusability, and user experience. Specifically:

• There's no standardized way to handle API errors across the application.
• Form validation patterns are repeated across components.
• The application doesn't handle offline scenarios gracefully.
• Loading states could be more consistent and customizable.
• Responsive layouts require repetitive code.
• Input fields don't have debounce functionality, potentially causing performance issues with frequent API calls.

Proposed Solution:
Implement a set of reusable utilities and components to address the above issues:

1. API Error Handler: A custom hook that standardizes error handling across the application.
2. Form Validation Utilities: Reusable Zod schemas for common validation patterns.
3. Offline Status Detection: A hook to detect and handle offline scenarios.
4. Enhanced Skeleton Loaders: Versatile loading components with multiple variants.
5. Responsive Container: A flexible component for consistent responsive layouts.
6. Debounce Hook: A utility for optimizing performance with input fields.
7. Environment Variable Type Safety: Improved TypeScript definitions for environment variables.
8. Internationalization Support: Translations for all new components.

These improvements will enhance code quality, developer experience, and end-user experience while maintaining consistency with the existing codebase.

Alternatives Considered:

1. Using third-party libraries for some of these features, but this would increase bundle size and dependencies.
2. Implementing these features on a per-component basis, but this would lead to code duplication and inconsistency.
3. Creating a separate utility package, but this would complicate the build process and potentially create version conflicts.

The proposed solution of adding these utilities directly to the codebase provides the best balance of functionality, maintainability, and performance.

Additional Context:
These improvements align with the project's existing patterns and technologies:

• TypeScript for type safety
• React hooks for state management and side effects
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• i18n for internationalization
• Zod for validation

The implementation will follow the project's coding standards and naming conventions, ensuring seamless integration with the existing codebase.
