Session Goal

The goal of this session was to debug and fix various issues related to API fetching and component synchronization in a Next.js project, specifically focusing on the YamlEditor component and API route configurations.

Key Activities

  • Debugging API Fetch Issue: Addressed server port alignment issues between the frontend and backend in a Next.js application.
  • API Route Structure Fix: Corrected the API route structure using the App Router in Next.js, including code examples and structural changes.
  • Troubleshooting 404 Error: Followed a checklist to resolve a 404 error for the /api/list_files route, ensuring correct file placement and server configuration.
  • Path Resolution Fix: Identified and resolved a path issue in a Next.js API route with a code fix.
  • YamlEditor Debugging: Fixed file loading issues in the YamlEditor component by checking fetch logic and ensuring component updates.
  • API Response Debugging: Diagnosed and fixed an undefined API response issue for YAML file fetching, adjusting the App Router and response structure.
  • Editor Synchronization: Ensured the API endpoint returns the correct format and synchronized the editor component with its props, including code verification.
  • YamlEditor Component Fix: Revised the YamlEditor implementation to reflect external value changes without using internal state.
  • Refactoring YamlEditor: Refactored the component for controlled and dirty state management, enhancing functionality with code snippets.

Achievements

  • Successfully resolved API fetch and route issues in the Next.js application.
  • Improved the YamlEditor component’s functionality and synchronization with API data.
