Frontend Implementation Plan: Next.js + FastAPI Template

Last Updated: November 2, 2025 (Design System + Optimization Plan Added) Current Phase: Phase 2.5 COMPLETE (Design System) | Phase 3 Optimization Next Overall Progress: 2.5 of 13 phases complete (19.2%)


Summary

Build a production-ready Next.js 15 frontend with full authentication, admin dashboard, user/organization management, and session tracking. The frontend integrates with the existing FastAPI backend using OpenAPI-generated clients, TanStack Query for state, Zustand for auth, and shadcn/ui components.

Target: 90%+ test coverage, comprehensive documentation, and robust foundations for enterprise projects.

Current State: Phase 2 authentication + Design System complete with 282 unit tests + 92 E2E tests, 97.57% unit coverage, zero build/lint/type errors Target State: Complete template matching frontend-requirements.md with all 12 phases


Implementation Directives (MUST FOLLOW)

Documentation-First Approach

  • Phase 0 created /docs folder with all architecture, standards, and guides
  • ALL subsequent phases MUST reference and follow patterns in /docs
  • If context is lost, /docs + this file + frontend-requirements.md are sufficient to resume

Quality Assurance Protocol

1. Per-Task Quality Standards (MANDATORY):

  • Quality over Speed: Each task developed carefully, no rushing
  • Review Cycles: Minimum 3 review-fix cycles per task before completion
  • Test Coverage: Maintain >80% coverage at all times
  • Test Pass Rate: 100% of tests MUST pass (no exceptions)
    • If tests fail, task is NOT complete
    • Failed tests = incomplete implementation
    • Do not proceed until all tests pass
  • Standards Compliance: Zero violations of /docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md

2. After Each Task:

  • All tests passing (100% pass rate)
  • Coverage >80% for new code
  • TypeScript: 0 errors
  • ESLint: 0 warnings
  • Self-review cycle 1: Code quality
  • Self-review cycle 2: Security & accessibility
  • Self-review cycle 3: Performance & standards compliance
  • Documentation updated
  • IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md status updated

3. After Each Phase: Launch multi-agent deep review to:

  • Verify phase objectives met
  • Check integration with previous phases
  • Identify critical issues requiring immediate fixes
  • Recommend improvements before proceeding
  • Update documentation if patterns evolved
  • Generate phase review report (e.g., PHASE_X_REVIEW.md)

4. Testing Requirements:

  • Write tests alongside feature code (not after)
  • Unit tests: All hooks, utilities, services
  • Component tests: All reusable components
  • Integration tests: All pages and flows
  • E2E tests: Critical user journeys (auth, admin CRUD)
  • Target: 90%+ coverage for template robustness
  • 100% pass rate required - no failing tests allowed
  • Use Jest + React Testing Library + Playwright

5. Context Preservation:

  • Update /docs with implementation decisions
  • Document deviations from requirements in ARCHITECTURE.md
  • Keep frontend-requirements.md updated if backend changes
  • Update THIS FILE after each phase with actual progress
  • Create phase review reports for historical reference

Phase 3: Performance & Architecture Optimization 📋

Status: TODO 📋 Prerequisites: Phase 2.5 complete Priority: CRITICAL - Must complete before Phase 4 feature development

Summary: Multi-agent comprehensive review identified performance bottlenecks, architectural inconsistencies, code duplication, and optimization opportunities. These issues must be addressed before proceeding with Phase 4 feature development to ensure a solid foundation.

Review Findings Summary

Performance Issues Identified:

  1. AuthInitializer blocks render (300-400ms overhead)
  2. Theme FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) - 50-100ms + CLS
  3. React Query aggressive refetching (unnecessary network calls)
  4. Bundle size optimization opportunities (+71KB on auth pages)
  5. useMe() waterfall pattern (200-300ms sequential fetching)

Architecture Issues:

  1. Stores location violation: src/stores/ should be src/lib/stores/
  2. ThemeProvider uses Context instead of documented Zustand pattern
  3. 6 files with incorrect import paths after stores move

Code Duplication:

  1. 150+ lines duplicated across 4 auth form components
  2. Password validation schema duplicated 3 times
  3. Form field rendering pattern duplicated 12+ times
  4. Error handling logic duplicated in multiple places

Bugs & Issues:

  1. Token refresh race condition (theoretical, low probability)
  2. Missing setTimeout cleanup in password reset hook
  3. Several medium-severity issues
  4. Console.log statements in production code

Task 3.1: Critical Performance Fixes (Priority 1)

Estimated Impact: +20-25 Lighthouse points, 300-500ms faster load times

Task 3.1.1: Optimize AuthInitializer

Impact: -300-400ms render blocking Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Current Problem:

useEffect(() => {
  loadAuthFromStorage(); // Blocks render, reads localStorage synchronously
}, []);

Solution:

  • Remove AuthInitializer component entirely
  • Use Zustand persist middleware for automatic hydration
  • Storage reads happen before React hydration
  • No render blocking

Files to Change:

  • src/stores/authStore.ts - Add persist middleware
  • src/app/providers.tsx - Remove AuthInitializer
  • tests/components/auth/AuthInitializer.test.tsx - Delete tests

Testing Required:

  • Verify auth state persists across page reloads
  • Verify SSR compatibility
  • Update existing tests
  • No coverage regression

Task 3.1.2: Fix Theme FOUC

Impact: -50-100ms FOUC, eliminates CLS Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Current Problem:

  • ThemeProvider reads localStorage in useEffect (after render)
  • Causes flash of wrong theme
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) penalty

Solution:

  • Add inline <script> in <head> to set theme before render
  • Script reads localStorage and applies theme class immediately
  • ThemeProvider becomes read-only consumer

Implementation:

<!-- In app/layout.tsx <head> -->
<script dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: `
  (function() {
    try {
      const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'system';
      const resolved = theme === 'system'
        ? window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches ? 'dark' : 'light'
        : theme;
      document.documentElement.classList.add(resolved);
    } catch (e) {}
  })();
`}} />

Files to Change:

  • src/app/layout.tsx - Add inline script
  • src/components/theme/ThemeProvider.tsx - Simplify to read-only
  • tests/components/theme/ThemeProvider.test.tsx - Update tests

Testing Required:

  • Verify no FOUC on page load
  • Verify SSR compatibility
  • Test localStorage edge cases
  • Update E2E tests

Task 3.1.3: Optimize React Query Config

Impact: -40-60% unnecessary network calls Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Current Problem:

const queryClient = new QueryClient({
  defaultOptions: {
    queries: {
      refetchOnWindowFocus: true, // Too aggressive
      refetchOnReconnect: true,
      refetchOnMount: true,
    }
  }
});

Solution:

  • Disable refetchOnWindowFocus (unnecessary for most data)
  • Keep refetchOnReconnect for session data
  • Use selective refetching with query keys
  • Add staleTime for user data (5 minutes)

Files to Change:

  • src/app/providers.tsx - Update QueryClient config
  • src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts - Add staleTime to useMe

Testing Required:

  • Verify data still updates when needed
  • Test refetch behavior on reconnect
  • Test staleTime doesn't break logout
  • Network tab verification

Task 3.2: Architecture & Code Quality (Priority 2)

Estimated Impact: Better maintainability, -30KB bundle size

Task 3.2.1: Fix Stores Location

Impact: Architecture compliance Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Current Problem:

  • Stores in src/stores/ instead of src/lib/stores/
  • Violates CLAUDE.md architecture guidelines
  • 6 files with incorrect import paths

Solution:

mv src/stores src/lib/stores

Files to Update:

  • src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx
  • src/components/auth/LoginForm.tsx
  • src/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsx
  • src/components/layout/Header.tsx
  • src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts
  • tests/components/layout/Header.test.tsx

Testing Required:

  • All tests must still pass
  • No import errors
  • TypeScript compilation clean

Task 3.2.2: Extract Shared Form Components

Impact: -150 lines of duplication, better maintainability Complexity: Medium Risk: Low

Current Problem:

  • Form field rendering duplicated 12+ times
  • Password validation schema duplicated 3 times
  • Error display logic duplicated
  • Password strength indicator duplicated

Solution: Create reusable components:

// src/components/forms/FormField.tsx
// src/components/forms/PasswordInput.tsx (with strength indicator)
// src/components/forms/PasswordStrengthMeter.tsx
// src/lib/validation/passwordSchema.ts (shared schema)

Files to Refactor:

  • src/components/auth/LoginForm.tsx
  • src/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsx
  • src/components/auth/PasswordResetConfirmForm.tsx
  • src/components/auth/PasswordChangeForm.tsx (future)

Testing Required:

  • All form tests must still pass
  • Visual regression testing
  • Accessibility unchanged
  • Coverage maintained

Task 3.2.3: Code Split Heavy Components

Impact: -30KB initial bundle Complexity: Medium Risk: Low

Current Problem:

  • Radix UI dropdown loaded eagerly (18KB)
  • Recharts loaded on auth pages (not needed)
  • ComponentShowcase increases bundle size

Solution:

// Dynamic imports for heavy components
const ComponentShowcase = dynamic(() => import('@/components/dev/ComponentShowcase'), {
  loading: () => <div>Loading...</div>
});

// Code split Radix dropdown
const DropdownMenu = dynamic(() => import('@/components/ui/dropdown-menu'));

Files to Change:

  • src/app/dev/components/page.tsx - Dynamic import showcase
  • src/components/layout/Header.tsx - Dynamic dropdown
  • src/components/theme/ThemeToggle.tsx - Dynamic dropdown

Testing Required:

  • Bundle size analysis (next build)
  • Loading states work correctly
  • No hydration errors
  • E2E tests still pass

Task 3.3: Polish & Bug Fixes (Priority 3)

Estimated Impact: Production-ready code, zero known issues

Task 3.3.1: Fix Token Refresh Race Condition

Impact: Prevents rare authentication failures Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Current Problem:

// Two requests at same time can trigger double refresh
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;

if (!refreshPromise) {
  refreshPromise = refreshTokens(); // Race condition here
}

Solution:

// Use atomic check-and-set
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;

// Atomic operation
const getOrCreateRefresh = () => {
  if (refreshPromise) return refreshPromise;
  refreshPromise = refreshTokens().finally(() => {
    refreshPromise = null;
  });
  return refreshPromise;
};

Files to Change:

  • src/lib/api/client.ts - Improve refresh logic

Testing Required:

  • Concurrent request simulation
  • Race condition test case
  • Existing tests unchanged

Task 3.3.2: Fix Medium Severity Issues

Impact: Code quality, maintainability Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Issues to Fix:

  1. Missing setTimeout cleanup in password reset hook
  2. AuthInitializer dependency array (if not removed in 1A)
  3. Any ESLint warnings in production build
  4. Type assertions that could be improved

Files to Review:

  • src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts
  • src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx (or remove in 1A)
  • Run npm run lint for full list

Testing Required:

  • Memory leak testing (timeout cleanup)
  • All tests passing
  • No new warnings

Task 3.3.3: Remove console.log in Production

Impact: Clean console, smaller bundle Complexity: Low Risk: Low

Solution:

// Replace all console.log with conditional logging
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  console.log('Debug info:', data);
}

// Or use a logger utility
import { logger } from '@/lib/utils/logger';
logger.debug('Info', data); // Only logs in development

Files to Change:

  • Search codebase for console.log
  • Create src/lib/utils/logger.ts if needed

Testing Required:

  • Production build verification
  • Development logging still works
  • No regressions

  4. Follow patterns in docs/FEATURE_EXAMPLES.md and docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md

  • Review Often: Self-review after each task
  • Update This Plan: Keep it current with actual progress
  • Context Matters: This file + docs = full context
