🛠️ Technical Implementation

Component Architecture

// Example: Reusable UI Components
interface ButtonProps {
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'outline';
  size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
  disabled?: boolean;
  loading?: boolean;
}

const Button: React.FC<ButtonProps> = ({ 
  variant = 'primary', 
  size = 'md', 
  children, 
  ...props 
}) => {
  // Component implementation with TailwindCSS classes
};

Data Management

// Example: Insurance Plan Data Structure
interface InsurancePlan {
  id: string;
  brand: string;
  model: string;
  name: string;
  premiumPerMonth: number;
  deductible: number;
  features: {
    theft: boolean;
    screenRepair: boolean;
    waterDamage: boolean;
    upgradeOption: boolean;
  };
}

ContentStack Integration

// Example: Content Fetching Hook
export const useHomePageContent = (options: {
  locale?: string;
  includeReferences?: boolean;
}) => {
  const [homeContent, setHomeContent] = useState<any>(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);
  
  // Fetch content from ContentStack
  // Handle loading states and errors
  
  return { homeContent, loading, error };
};

🎨 Design System

Color Palette

  • Primary Colors: Teal gradient (#14b8a6 to #0d9488)
  • Secondary Colors: Blue gradient (#3b82f6 to #2563eb)
  • Accent Colors: Orange gradient (#f97316 to #ea580c)
  • Neutral Colors: Gray scale for text and backgrounds

Typography

  • Font Family: Inter (modern, readable sans-serif)
  • Responsive Typography: Fluid scaling across devices
  • Semantic Hierarchy: Clear heading and body text styles

Components

  • Consistent spacing using Tailwind's spacing scale
  • Hover effects for interactive elements
  • Loading states for async operations
  • Error handling with user-friendly messages

📊 Data Structure

Phone Data

export const phoneModels = {
  'Apple': ['iPhone 15 Pro Max', 'iPhone 15 Pro', 'iPhone 15', ...],
  'Samsung': ['Galaxy S24 Ultra', 'Galaxy S24+', 'Galaxy S24', ...],
  'Google Pixel': ['Pixel 8 Pro', 'Pixel 8', 'Pixel 8a', ...],
  'OnePlus': ['OnePlus 12', 'OnePlus 11', 'OnePlus Nord 3', ...],
  'Xiaomi': ['Xiaomi 14 Ultra', 'Xiaomi 14', 'Redmi Note 13 Pro+', ...]
};

Insurance Plans

  • 10 predefined plans across different brands
  • Varying coverage levels (Basic, Premium, Ultimate)
  • Realistic pricing based on device value
  • Feature-based differentiation

🔍 Key Functionality Demos

1. Device-Specific Plan Search

const handleGeneratePlans = async () => {
  if (!selectedBrand || !selectedModel) return;
  
  setIsLoading(true);
  
  // Simulate API call
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1500));
  
  // Filter plans by device
  const plans = insurancePlans.filter(
    plan => plan.brand === selectedBrand && plan.model === selectedModel
  );
  
  setFilteredPlans(plans);
  setIsLoading(false);
};

2. Dynamic Content Loading

const { homeContent, loading, error } = useHomePageContent({
  locale: 'en-us',
  includeReferences: true
});

// Render content with loading states
if (loading) return <LoadingSpinner />;
if (error) return <ErrorMessage />;

3. Plan Comparison Table

  • Feature-by-feature comparison
  • Visual indicators (checkmarks/X marks)
  • Pricing comparison
  • Responsive table design

4. Recommended Plans Algorithm

const getRecommendedPlans = () => {
  return insurancePlans.filter(plan => 
    (plan.name.includes('Premium') || plan.name.includes('Ultimate')) &&
    (plan.brand === 'Apple' || plan.brand === 'Samsung' || plan.brand === 'Google Pixel')
  ).slice(0, 3);
};
