## 📊 Technical Implementation Details

### API Integration Pattern
```typescript
// Example: Contacts List with Real API
const [contacts, setContacts] = useState<Contact[]>([])
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true)
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null)

useEffect(() => {
  fetchContacts()
}, [filters, page])

const fetchContacts = async () => {
  setLoading(true)
  try {
    const data = await contactsAPI.getAll({ ...filters, page })
    setContacts(data.contacts)
    setTotalPages(data.totalPages)
  } catch (err) {
    setError(err.message)
    toast.error('Failed to load contacts')
  } finally {
    setLoading(false)
  }
}
```

### Form Pattern with Validation
```typescript
const [formData, setFormData] = useState<CreateContactData>({
  type: 'CUSTOMER',
  name: '',
  email: '',
  phone: '',
  source: 'WEBSITE'
})
const [errors, setErrors] = useState<Record<string, string>>({})
const [submitting, setSubmitting] = useState(false)

const validate = (): boolean => {
  const newErrors: Record<string, string> = {}
  if (!formData.name) newErrors.name = 'Name is required'
  if (formData.email && !isValidEmail(formData.email)) {
    newErrors.email = 'Invalid email'
  }
  setErrors(newErrors)
  return Object.keys(newErrors).length === 0
}

const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => {
  e.preventDefault()
  if (!validate()) return
  
  setSubmitting(true)
  try {
    await contactsAPI.create(formData)
    toast.success('Contact created successfully!')
    onClose()
    refreshList()
  } catch (err) {
    toast.error(err.response?.data?.message || 'Failed to create contact')
  } finally {
    setSubmitting(false)
  }
}
```

### Search & Filter Pattern
```typescript
const [filters, setFilters] = useState({
  search: '',
  type: 'all',
  status: 'all',
  page: 1,
  pageSize: 20
})

// Debounced search
useEffect(() => {
  const debounce = setTimeout(() => {
    fetchContacts()
  }, 500)
  return () => clearTimeout(debounce)
}, [filters.search])

// Filter change
const handleFilterChange = (key: string, value: any) => {
  setFilters(prev => ({ ...prev, [key]: value, page: 1 }))
}
```

### Pagination Pattern
```typescript
const [currentPage, setCurrentPage] = useState(1)
const [totalPages, setTotalPages] = useState(1)

const handlePageChange = (newPage: number) => {
  setCurrentPage(newPage)
  window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' })
}

// Render pagination
<div className="flex items-center justify-center gap-2">
  <button 
    disabled={currentPage === 1}
    onClick={() => handlePageChange(currentPage - 1)}
  >
    Previous
  </button>
  {Array.from({ length: totalPages }, (_, i) => i + 1).map(page => (
    <button
      key={page}
      className={currentPage === page ? 'active' : ''}
      onClick={() => handlePageChange(page)}
    >
      {page}
    </button>
  ))}
  <button
    disabled={currentPage === totalPages}
    onClick={() => handlePageChange(currentPage + 1)}
  >
    Next
  </button>
</div>
```
