Core Integration:
- Create API client with TypeScript types for all endpoints
- Implement authentication context provider for user state management
- Add protected route component for dashboard access control
- Connect login/register pages to backend authentication endpoints
- Implement user session persistence with localStorage tokens
Authentication:
- Login page now connects to /api/auth/login endpoint
- Register page connects to /api/auth/register with validation
- Password strength requirements (min 8 chars)
- Form validation and error handling
- Automatic redirect to dashboard on successful auth
- Logout functionality with session cleanup
Protected Routes:
- Dashboard pages require authentication
- Non-authenticated users redirected to login
- Loading spinner during auth verification
- User name displayed in dashboard header
- Proper session management
Election/Vote APIs:
- Dashboard fetches active elections from /api/elections/active
- Display real election data with candidates count
- Handle loading and error states
- Skeleton loaders for better UX
Type Safety:
- Full TypeScript interfaces for all API responses
- Proper error handling with try-catch blocks
- API response types: AuthToken, VoterProfile, Election, Candidate, Vote, VoteHistory
Environment:
- API URL configurable via NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL env variable
- Default to http://localhost:8000 for local development
