---
## Components Delivered
### 1. RetryableErrorBoundary Component ⭐
**File**: `frontends/nextjs/src/components/RetryableErrorBoundary.tsx` (546 lines)
**Purpose**: Enhanced React error boundary with automatic retry logic for transient failures.
**Key Features**:
- **Error Catching**: Catches JavaScript errors in component tree
- **Automatic Retry**: Detects retryable errors and retries with exponential backoff
- **Retry Countdown**: Displays "Retrying in Xs..." with countdown
- **Visual Indicators**: Error icons (🌐, 🔐, 🚫, etc.) and color-coded UI
- **User Messages**: Context-specific, friendly error messages
- **Dev Details**: Full error stack and component stack in development mode
- **Manual Retry**: User can manually retry before automatic retry triggers
- **Support Info**: Display support contact information
- **Configurable**: Props for retries, delays, component name, support email
**Error Categories with Visual Indicators**:
```
🌐 Network (orange) - Connection failures
🔐 Authentication (pink) - Session/auth errors (401)
🚫 Permission (red) - Access denied (403)
⚠️ Validation (yellow) - Invalid input (400)
🔍 Not Found (blue) - Resource not found (404)
⚡ Conflict (orange) - Duplicate (409)
⏱️ Rate Limit (light blue) - Too many requests (429)
🖥️ Server (red) - Server errors (5xx)
⏳ Timeout (orange) - Request timeout (408)
⚠️ Unknown (red) - All other errors
```
**Usage Example**:
```typescript
<RetryableErrorBoundary
componentName="AdminPanel"
maxAutoRetries={3}
initialRetryDelayMs={1000}
maxRetryDelayMs={8000}
showSupportInfo
supportEmail="support@metabuilder.dev"
>
<SchemaEditor />
<WorkflowManager />
</RetryableErrorBoundary>
```
**HOC Usage**:
```typescript
const ProtectedComponent = withRetryableErrorBoundary(MyComponent, {
componentName: 'MyComponent',
maxAutoRetries: 3,
})
```
### 2. Error Categorization System 🏷️
**File**: `frontends/nextjs/src/lib/error-reporting.ts` (enhanced)
**Capabilities**:
- **10 Error Categories**: Network, Auth, Permission, Validation, Not Found, Conflict, Rate Limit, Server, Timeout, Unknown
- **Automatic Detection**: HTTP status codes + pattern matching
- **Retry Eligibility**: Auto-determines if error is retryable
- **User Messages**: Category-specific, user-friendly error text
- **Suggested Actions**: Recovery strategies per category
- **Error Queries**: Filter by category, get retryable errors
- **Error History**: Maintain last 100 errors in memory
**Error Detection Logic**:
```
HTTP Status Code Detection:
401, 403 → Authentication/Permission
404 → Not Found
409 → Conflict
429 → Rate Limit
408 → Timeout
5xx → Server Error
Pattern Matching:
"network", "fetch", "offline" → Network
"auth", "unauthorized" → Authentication
"permission", "forbidden" → Permission
"validation", "invalid" → Validation
"not found" → Not Found
"conflict", "duplicate" → Conflict
"rate", "too many", "429" → Rate Limit
"server", "500", "error" → Server
"timeout", "408", "timed out" → Timeout
```
**Retry Eligibility**:
```
Retryable Categories:
✅ Network (transient)
✅ Timeout (transient)
✅ Rate Limit (transient, back off)
✅ Server (5xx transient)
Non-Retryable Categories:
❌ Authentication (user action needed)
❌ Permission (user action needed)
❌ Validation (user input error)
❌ Not Found (resource error)
❌ Conflict (data conflict)
❌ Unknown (unknown error)
```
### 3. Async Error Boundary Utilities 🔄
**File**: `frontends/nextjs/src/lib/async-error-boundary.ts` (206 lines)
**Purpose**: Utilities for wrapping async operations with error boundaries and retry logic.
**Key Functions**:
**withAsyncErrorBoundary()**
```typescript
const result = await withAsyncErrorBoundary(
() => fetch('/api/data').then(r => r.json()),
{
maxRetries: 3,
initialDelayMs: 100,
maxDelayMs: 5000,
timeoutMs: 10000,
context: { action: 'fetchData' },
onError: (error, attempt) => {},
onRetry: (attempt, error) => {},
onRetrySuccess: (attempt) => {},
}
)
```
**fetchWithErrorBoundary()**
```typescript
const response = await fetchWithErrorBoundary(
'/api/data',
{ method: 'GET' },
{ maxRetries: 3, timeoutMs: 10000 }
)
```
**tryAsyncOperation()**
```typescript
const result = await tryAsyncOperation(
() => fetch('/api/data').then(r => r.json()),
{ maxRetries: 3 }
)
if (result.success) {
console.log('Data:', result.data)
} else {
console.error('Error:', result.error)
}
```
**useAsyncErrorHandler()**
```typescript
const { execute, fetchWithRetry, tryOperation } = useAsyncErrorHandler()
```
### 4. Enhanced Error Reporting Service 📊
**File**: `frontends/nextjs/src/lib/error-reporting.ts` (enhanced)
**New Exports**:
```typescript
type ErrorCategory = 'network' | 'authentication' | 'permission' | ...
interface ErrorReport {
id: string
message: string
code?: string
statusCode?: number
category: ErrorCategory // NEW
stack?: string
context: ErrorReportContext
timestamp: Date
isDevelopment: boolean
isRetryable: boolean // NEW
suggestedAction?: string // NEW
}
// New Methods:
errorReporting.getErrorsByCategory(category)
errorReporting.getRetryableErrors()
errorReporting.getUserMessage(error, category?)
```
### 5. Root Layout Integration 🌍
**File**: `frontends/nextjs/src/app/providers/providers-component.tsx` (modified)
**Changes**:
```typescript
export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
// ... existing code ...
return (
<ThemeContext.Provider value={{ ... }}>
<CssBaseline />
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<RetryableErrorBoundary
componentName="Providers"
maxAutoRetries={3}
showSupportInfo
supportEmail="support@metabuilder.dev"
>
{children}
</RetryableErrorBoundary>
</QueryClientProvider>
</ThemeContext.Provider>
)
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Application-wide error catching
- Automatic recovery for transient failures
- User guidance for persistent errors
- 3 automatic retries before showing error UI

2. **Test Permission Error**:
- Access admin panel without permissions
- Should show permission error
- No automatic retry
3. **Test Server Error**:
- Use mock API returning 503
- Should show "Retrying in Xs..."
- Automatic retry should trigger
4. **Test Timeout**:
- Mock slow API (>10s)
- Should timeout and retry
### Automated Testing
```bash
# Run unit tests

/* All animations disabled */
animation: none !important;
transition: none !important;
}
```
### Semantic HTML
- Proper heading hierarchy (`<h2>`)
- Semantic paragraphs (`<p>`)
- Proper button elements (`<button>`)
- Decorative icons have `aria-hidden="true"`
### Keyboard Navigation
- All buttons keyboard accessible
- Logical tab order
- Visible focus indicators
- No keyboard traps
### Color & Contrast
- Icon colors have sufficient contrast
- Text meets WCAG AA standards
- No color-only information
- Works with high contrast mode
---
## Usage Examples
### Basic Empty State
```typescript
import { NoItemsYet } from '@/components'
<NoItemsYet
action={{
label: 'Create Item',
onClick: handleCreate
}}
/>
```
### Custom Empty State
```typescript
import { EmptyState } from '@/components'
<EmptyState
icon="📭"
title="No items"
description="Get started by creating your first item"
hint="Click the button below to create one"
size="normal"
animated={true}
action={{ label: 'Create', onClick: create }}
secondaryAction={{ label: 'Learn More', onClick: learnMore }}
/>
```
### With Animations
```typescript
import { ANIMATION_CLASSES } from '@/lib/animations'
<div className={ANIMATION_CLASSES.fadeIn}>
<EmptyState title="No items" description="..." />
</div>
```
### Staggered List
```typescript
import { getStaggeredDelay } from '@/lib/animations'
{items.map((item, i) => (
<div style={{
animationDelay: `${getStaggeredDelay(i)}ms`
}}>
{item.name}
</div>
))}
```
---
## Integration Points
### Where to Use Empty States
1. **Data Tables**: `{data.length === 0 ? <NoDataFound /> : <DataTable />}`
2. **Search Results**: `{results.length === 0 ? <NoResultsFound /> : <Results />}`
3. **First-Time UX**: `{items.length === 0 ? <NoItemsYet /> : <List />}`
4. **Error States**: `{error ? <ErrorState /> : <Content />}`
5. **Access Control**: `{!hasPermission ? <AccessDeniedState /> : <Content />}`
### Combined with Loading States
```typescript
<AsyncLoading
isLoading={loading}
error={error}
skeletonComponent={<Skeleton />}
errorComponent={<ErrorState />}
>
{items.length === 0 ? (
<NoDataFound />
) : (
<ItemList items={items} />
)}
</AsyncLoading>
```

| `ListLoading` | Lists/items | rows |
| `InlineLoading` | Buttons, small sections | width, height |
| `FormLoading` | Form fields | fields |
**File Location**: `/Users/rmac/Documents/metabuilder/frontends/nextjs/src/components/LoadingSkeleton.tsx`
---
### 3. Async Data Hooks (`src/hooks/useAsyncData.ts`)
**Three Hooks Implemented**:
#### A. useAsyncData Hook
Main hook for managing async operations:
```typescript
const { data, isLoading, error, isRefetching, retry, refetch } = useAsyncData(
async () => {
const res = await fetch('/api/users')
return res.json()
},
{
dependencies: [userId],
retries: 3,
retryDelay: 1000,
refetchOnFocus: true,
refetchInterval: 30000,
onSuccess: (data) => console.log(data),
onError: (error) => console.error(error)
}
)
```
**Features**:
- ✅ Automatic loading/error state management
- ✅ Request deduplication via AbortController
- ✅ Configurable retry logic
- ✅ Refetch on window focus
- ✅ Auto-refetch interval support
- ✅ Success/error callbacks
- ✅ Automatic cleanup on unmount
#### B. usePaginatedData Hook
For paginated API calls:
```typescript
const {
data, // Current page items
page, // Current page (0-based)
pageCount, // Total pages
itemCount, // Total items
goToPage, // (page: number) => void
nextPage, // () => void
previousPage, // () => void
isLoading,
error
} = usePaginatedData(
async (page, pageSize) => {
const res = await fetch(`/api/items?page=${page}&size=${pageSize}`)
return res.json() // Must return { items: T[], total: number }
},
{ pageSize: 10 }
)
```
**Features**:
- ✅ Automatic pagination state management
- ✅ Page navigation methods
- ✅ Total count calculation
- ✅ Seamless integration with useAsyncData
#### C. useMutation Hook
For write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE):
```typescript
const { mutate, isLoading, error, reset } = useMutation(
async (userData) => {
const res = await fetch('/api/users', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(userData)
})
return res.json()
},
{
onSuccess: (data) => console.log('Created:', data),
onError: (error) => console.error('Error:', error)
}
)
const handleSubmit = async (data) => {
try {
const result = await mutate(data)
// Success
} catch (err) {
// Error already captured in error state
}
}
```
**Features**:
- ✅ Automatic loading state during mutation
- ✅ Error handling with reset capability
- ✅ Success/error callbacks
- ✅ Type-safe with generics
**File Location**: `/Users/rmac/Documents/metabuilder/frontends/nextjs/src/hooks/useAsyncData.ts`

## Usage Patterns
### Pattern 1: Simple Data Loading
```tsx
const { data, isLoading, error } = useAsyncData(fetchUsers)
return (
<TableLoading isLoading={isLoading} error={error}>
{data && <UsersList users={data} />}
</TableLoading>
)
```
### Pattern 2: Paginated API
```tsx
const { data, page, nextPage, previousPage } = usePaginatedData(
async (page, size) => fetch(`/api/items?page=${page}&size=${size}`).then(r => r.json())
)
return (
<>
<TableLoading isLoading={isLoading}>
{data && <ItemsTable items={data} />}
</TableLoading>
<button onClick={previousPage}>Previous</button>
<button onClick={nextPage}>Next</button>
</>
)
```
### Pattern 3: Form Submission
```tsx
const { mutate, isLoading, error } = useMutation(createUser)
const handleSubmit = async (formData) => {
try {
await mutate(formData)
alert('Success!')
} catch (err) {
// Error shown in error state
}
}
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
{error && <ErrorState description={error.message} />}
<button disabled={isLoading}>
<InlineLoader loading={isLoading} />
Submit
</button>
</form>
)
```

# Error Boundaries Quick Start Guide
Quick reference for using error boundaries and retry logic in MetaBuilder.
## Basic Usage
### Wrap a Component
```typescript
import { RetryableErrorBoundary } from '@/components/RetryableErrorBoundary'
export function MyComponent() {
return (
<RetryableErrorBoundary componentName="MyComponent">
<YourContent />
</RetryableErrorBoundary>
)
}
```
### Use HOC Pattern
```typescript
import { withRetryableErrorBoundary } from '@/components/RetryableErrorBoundary'
const ProtectedComponent = withRetryableErrorBoundary(YourComponent, {
componentName: 'YourComponent',
maxAutoRetries: 3,
})
```
### Wrap Async Operations
```typescript
import { withAsyncErrorBoundary } from '@/lib/async-error-boundary'
const data = await withAsyncErrorBoundary(
() => fetch('/api/data').then(r => r.json()),
{ maxRetries: 3 }
)
```
## Error Categories
| Error | Icon | Color | Retryable |
|-------|------|-------|-----------|
| Network | 🌐 | Orange | Yes |
| Auth | 🔐 | Pink | No |
| Permission | 🚫 | Red | No |
| Validation | ⚠️ | Yellow | No |
| Not Found | 🔍 | Blue | No |
| Conflict | ⚡ | Orange | No |
| Rate Limit | ⏱️ | Light Blue | Yes |
| Server | 🖥️ | Red | Yes |
| Timeout | ⏳ | Orange | Yes |
## Common Examples
### Protect Admin Panel
```typescript
<RetryableErrorBoundary
componentName="AdminPanel"
maxAutoRetries={3}
showSupportInfo
supportEmail="admin@company.com"
>
<SchemaEditor />
<WorkflowManager />
<DatabaseManager />
</RetryableErrorBoundary>
```
### Save with Retry
```typescript
const handleSave = async (data) => {
try {
await withAsyncErrorBoundary(
() => api.save(data),
{
maxRetries: 2,
context: { action: 'save' },
}
)
showSuccess('Saved!')
} catch (error) {
showError('Failed to save')
}
}
```
### Query with Timeout
```typescript
const data = await withAsyncErrorBoundary(
() => fetch('/api/data').then(r => r.json()),
{
maxRetries: 3,
timeoutMs: 10000,
context: { query: 'listUsers' },
}
)
```
## Props Reference
### RetryableErrorBoundary Props
```typescript
interface Props {
children: ReactNode // Content to protect
maxAutoRetries?: number // Default: 3
initialRetryDelayMs?: number // Default: 1000ms
maxRetryDelayMs?: number // Default: 8000ms
componentName?: string // For debugging
showSupportInfo?: boolean // Default: true
supportEmail?: string // Email to display
fallback?: ReactNode // Custom error UI
onError?: (error, errorInfo) => void // Error callback
context?: Record<string, any> // Error context
}
```
### withAsyncErrorBoundary Options
```typescript
interface Options {
maxRetries?: number // Default: 3
initialDelayMs?: number // Default: 100ms
maxDelayMs?: number // Default: 5000ms
timeoutMs?: number // Optional timeout
context?: Record<string, any> // Error context
reportError?: boolean // Report to monitoring
onError?: (error, attempt) => void
onRetry?: (attempt, error) => void
onRetrySuccess?: (attempt) => void
}
```
## Error Messages (Automatic)
- **Network**: "Check your internet connection and try again."
- **Auth**: "Your session has expired. Please log in again."
- **Permission**: "You do not have permission."
- **Validation**: "Please verify your input."
- **Not Found**: "The resource was not found."
- **Conflict**: "This resource already exists."
- **Rate Limit**: "Too many requests. Please wait."
- **Server**: "Server error. Our team has been notified."
- **Timeout**: "Request took too long."
## Retry Behavior
**Automatic Retries** (for network, timeout, rate-limit, server errors):
1. Error occurs
2. Automatic retry scheduled (1s delay)
3. Display "Retrying in Xs..." countdown
4. Attempt again
5. On success → Clear error
6. On failure → Try next retry or show error UI
**Manual Options** (always available):
- **Try Again**: User-triggered retry
- **Reload Page**: Full page refresh
- **Support**: Contact support email
## Testing
```typescript
// Test network error
throw new Error('Network error')
// Test permission error
throw new Error('403 Forbidden')
// Test server error (retryable)
throw new Error('503 Service Unavailable')
// Test async operation
const result = await withAsyncErrorBoundary(
() => Promise.reject(new Error('Test')),
{ maxRetries: 1 }
)
```
## Best Practices
✅ Wrap root components with error boundaries
✅ Use granular boundaries for features
✅ Provide context for error reporting
✅ Use HOC for reusable wrappers
✅ Configure appropriate retry counts
✅ Show support information in UI
✅ Test error scenarios manually
❌ Don't catch errors too broadly
❌ Don't retry indefinitely
❌ Don't hide errors in development
❌ Don't use same error boundary for everything
## Monitoring
```typescript
import { useErrorReporting } from '@/lib/error-reporting'
const { reportError, getUserMessage } = useErrorReporting()
const report = reportError(error, { userId: '123' })
console.log(report.category) // 'network'
console.log(report.isRetryable) // true
```
## Integration Points
### Root Layout
```typescript
// Already wrapped in Providers component
// Provides app-wide error catching
```
### Admin Tools
```typescript
// To be wrapped in Phase 5.3
<RetryableErrorBoundary componentName="AdminTools">
{adminTools}
</RetryableErrorBoundary>
```
### API Calls
```typescript
// Already using retry.ts in fetch layer
// Enhanced with async-error-boundary.ts
```
