Challenges I ran into

One significant challenge I faced was ensuring proper state management when fetching and displaying products on the frontend. Initially, the products array was correctly logged in the console from

product.js

, but it appeared as

undefined

in

HomePage.jsx

. This caused the UI to break, as the data wasn’t rendering properly.

I debugged the issue by closely inspecting how the data was being passed between components. After reviewing the structure of the store (using Zustand), I noticed an issue with the way the fetch action was being invoked in the component lifecycle. Fixing the action call timing resolved the problem, and the products started displaying correctly. Additionally, I ensured consistent state synchronization between frontend and backend data.
