   • Multi-step forms
   • File inputs
   • Error display
   • Form state management

7. File Upload

   • Drag-and-drop support
   • Multiple file handling
   • Progress tracking per file
   • File validation (size, type)
   • Upload cancellation
   • Retry failed uploads
   • Preview generation

8. Error Handling

   • Error Boundary component
   • Global error handler
   • Error classification
   • User notifications
   • Error reporting
   • Graceful degradation

9. Testing Patterns

   • Component tests (RTL)
   • Hook tests
   • Integration tests
   • E2E tests (Playwright)
   • Mock patterns
   • Test utilities
   • Coverage strategies

10. Performance Optimization

    • Virtual scrolling
    • Memoization patterns
    • Code splitting
    • Lazy loading
    • Bundle optimization
    • Image optimization
    • Caching strategies
