# Suggestions for Senior-Level Improvements
1+
# Senior-Level Improvements
22

3-
## Testing Improvements
4-
- **Unit Testing with Jest/RTL**
5-
- Gain: Catch bugs early, ensure component behavior, easier refactoring
6-
- Example: Test hooks like useProductFilters in isolation
3+
## 1. Architecture & State Management
4+
5+
### Global State Management
6+
- **Replace Context API with Redux Toolkit or Zustand**
7+
- Gain: Better state management, dev tools, middleware support
8+
- Example: Move cart state to Redux with proper slices and actions
9+
10+
```typescript
11+
// Example Redux slice for cart
12+
const cartSlice = createSlice({
13+
name: 'cart',
14+
initialState,
15+
reducers: {
16+
addToCart: (state, action) => {
17+
// Immutable state updates with Redux Toolkit
18+
},
19+
removeFromCart: (state, action) => {
20+
// Automatic handling of immutability
21+
}
22+
}
23+
});
24+
```
25+
26+
### Service Layer
27+
- **API Abstraction**
28+
- Gain: Better separation of concerns, easier testing and maintenance
29+
- Example: Create dedicated service classes for API operations
30+
31+
```typescript
32+
class ProductService {
33+
private api: ApiClient;
734

8-
- **Visual Regression Testing**
9-
- Gain: Catch unintended UI changes, ensure consistent design
10-
- Example: Compare screenshots before/after changes to ProductCard
35+
async getProducts(filters: ProductFilters): Promise<Product[]> {
36+
// Centralized error handling and response mapping
37+
}
38+
}
39+
```
40+
41+
## 2. Performance Optimizations
42+
43+
### Code Splitting
44+
- **Dynamic Imports**
45+
- Gain: Smaller initial bundle size, faster page loads
46+
- Example: Lazy load product filters on mobile
47+
48+
```typescript
49+
const ProductFilters = dynamic(() => import('./ProductFilters'), {
50+
loading: () => <FiltersSkeleton />,
51+
ssr: false
52+
});
53+
```
54+
55+
### Caching Strategy
56+
- **Apollo Client Caching**
57+
- Gain: Faster data access, reduced server load
58+
- Example: Implement field-level caching policies
59+
60+
```typescript
61+
const cache = new InMemoryCache({
62+
typePolicies: {
63+
Product: {
64+
fields: {
65+
price: {
66+
read(price) {
67+
// Custom cache reading logic
68+
}
69+
}
70+
}
71+
}
72+
}
73+
});
74+
```
75+
76+
## 3. Testing & Quality Assurance
77+
78+
### Unit Testing
79+
- **Jest/React Testing Library**
80+
- Gain: Catch bugs early, ensure component behavior
81+
- Example: Test hooks like useProductFilters in isolation
82+
83+
```typescript
84+
describe('useProductFilters', () => {
85+
it('should filter products by price range', () => {
86+
const { result } = renderHook(() => useProductFilters());
87+
act(() => {
88+
result.current.setPriceRange([10, 50]);
89+
});
90+
expect(result.current.filterProducts(mockProducts)).toEqual(
91+
expect.arrayContaining([
92+
expect.objectContaining({ price: expect.any(Number) })
93+
])
94+
);
95+
});
96+
});
97+
```
98+
99+
### E2E Testing

test('complete checkout process', async ({ page }) => {
106+
await page.goto('/');
107+
await page.click('[data-testid="product-card"]');
108+
await page.click('[data-testid="add-to-cart"]');
109+
// Test entire checkout flow
110+
});

}
215+
```
216+
217+
### Code Organization

src/
224+
features/
225+
products/
226+
components/
227+
hooks/
228+
services/
229+
types/
230+
cart/
231+
components/
