Session Goal: The primary goal of this session was to debug and refactor both the API routes in a Next.js application and the YamlEditor component in a React application.

Key Activities:

• Debugged a fetch request issue in a Next.js application, focusing on server port alignment between frontend and backend.
• Corrected the API route structure in the Next.js project using the App Router, including code examples and summaries of required changes.
• Resolved a 404 error for the /api/list_files route by following a detailed checklist.
• Fixed a path resolution issue in a Next.js API route, confirming functionality with a code fix.
• Addressed file loading issues in the YamlEditor component by ensuring correct file fetch logic and component updates.
• Diagnosed and fixed an undefined API response for YAML file fetching, detailing necessary changes to the App Router.
• Ensured that API endpoints return the correct response format and that the editor component synchronizes properly with its props.
• Refactored the YamlEditor component to manage controlled values and dirty state tracking, enhancing its functionality.

Achievements:

• Successfully debugged and fixed API and component issues in both Next.js and React applications.
• Improved API route handling and YamlEditor component functionality through refactoring.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing of the refactored YamlEditor component to ensure all edge cases are handled.
• Review and optimize the code for performance improvements.
