API Integration Readiness

Current Mock Implementation

Development uses localStorage-based mock services that simulate real API behavior:

const mockUser = { id: '1', email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test User' };
localStorage.setItem('auth_user', JSON.stringify(mockUser));

Production API Integration

Ready for real backend integration with minimal code changes:

// Production-ready API calls
async login(email: string, password: string): Promise<AuthResponse> {
  const response = await fetch('/api/auth/login', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
  });
  return response.json();
}

Integration Requirements

  1. Authentication Endpoints: Login, signup, password reset, token refresh
