## 🎯 Implementation Guide
### Step 1: Include New Files
Add to your HTML ``:
```html
```
Add before closing ``:
```html
```
### Step 2: Update Existing Pages
Replace direct `localStorage` calls:
```javascript
// ❌ Before
localStorage.setItem('cart', JSON.stringify(data));
// ✅ After
storage.set('cart', data);
```
Replace `fetch` calls:
```javascript
// ❌ Before
fetch('/api/products')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
// ✅ After
try {
const data = await apiRequest('/api/products');
showToast('Products loaded!', 'success');
} catch (error) {
showToast('Failed to load products', 'error');
}
```
### Step 3: Add Accessibility Features
```html
Skip to main content
...
```

## 🚀 Production Checklist
Before deploying to production:
### 1. Minification
```bash
# Install terser for JS minification
npm install -g terser
# Minify JavaScript
terser website/assets/js/utils.js -c -m -o website/assets/js/utils.min.js
# Minify CSS (using cssnano or similar)
npx cssnano website/assets/css/utilities.css website/assets/css/utilities.min.css
```
### 2. Update HTML References
```html
```
### 3. Enable Compression
In your server config (nginx/apache):
```nginx
# Enable gzip compression
gzip on;
gzip_types text/css application/javascript;
gzip_min_length 1000;
```
### 4. Cache Headers
```nginx
# Cache static assets
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg)$ {
expires 1y;
add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
}
```
### 5. Security Headers
Already implemented in backend via Helmet ✅

## 🎓 Usage Examples
### Example 1: Show Success Message
```javascript
// After saving data
try {
await apiRequest('/api/products', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(productData)
});
showToast('Product saved successfully!', 'success');
} catch (error) {
showToast('Failed to save product', 'error');
}
```
### Example 2: Debounced Search
```javascript
// Prevent excessive API calls
const searchInput = document.getElementById('searchInput');
const debouncedSearch = debounce(async (query) => {
const results = await apiRequest(`/api/search?q=${query}`);
displayResults(results);
}, 500);
searchInput.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
debouncedSearch(e.target.value);
});
```
### Example 3: Safe Storage
```javascript
// Save user preferences
function savePreferences(prefs) {
const saved = storage.set('userPrefs', prefs);
if (!saved) {
showToast('Unable to save preferences', 'warning');
}
}
// Load preferences
const prefs = storage.get('userPrefs', {
theme: 'light',
notifications: true
});
```
### Example 4: Accessible Images
```javascript
// Create image with fallback
const productGrid = document.getElementById('products');
products.forEach(product => {
const img = createImage(
product.imageurl,
`${product.name} - ${product.category}`,
'product-image'
);
productGrid.appendChild(img);
});
```

## 🐛 Known Issues & Solutions
### Issue: iOS Safari viewport height
**Problem:** 100vh includes address bar
**Solution:** Use `dvh` units or JavaScript calculation
```css
/* Modern solution */
.full-height {
height: 100dvh; /* dynamic viewport height */
}
/* Fallback for older browsers */
@supports not (height: 100dvh) {
.full-height {
height: 100vh;
}
}
```
### Issue: LocalStorage quota exceeded
**Problem:** User has limited storage
**Solution:** Already handled in `storage` utility
```javascript
// storage.set() returns false on quota error
if (!storage.set('largeData', data)) {
showToast('Storage full. Please clear browser data.', 'warning');
}
```
### Issue: Focus styles on mobile Safari
**Problem:** Focus styles show on tap
**Solution:** Already handled with `:focus-visible`
```css
/* Only shows on keyboard navigation */
button:focus-visible {
outline: 2px solid #667eea;
}
/* Hides on mouse/touch */
button:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
```
