Recovery API Integration - Complete Documentation

Overview

The Recovery API Integration provides a complete solution for fetching and managing wallet recovery status from a backend API. It includes error handling, retry logic, polling capabilities, and comprehensive state management.

Architecture

API Service Layer (src/services/recoveryApi.ts)

Handles all HTTP communication with the recovery API.

Key Functions:

fetchRecoveryStatus(walletId, config?)

Fetches the current recovery status for a wallet.

Parameters:

• walletId (string) - The wallet ID to fetch status for
• config (optional) - API configuration:
  • baseUrl - API base URL (default: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL)
  • timeout - Request timeout in ms (default: 10000)
  • retryAttempts - Number of retry attempts (default: 3)
  • retryDelay - Delay between retries in ms (default: 1000)

Returns:

{
  success: boolean
  data?: RecoveryTimeline
  error?: string
  timestamp: number
}

Features:

• Automatic retry with exponential backoff
• Request timeout handling
• Response validation
• Date parsing
• Error classification

Example:

const result = await fetchRecoveryStatus("wallet-123");

if (result.success) {
  console.log("Recovery status:", result.data);
} else {
  console.error("Error:", result.error);
}

fetchRecoveryEvents(recoveryId, config?)

Fetches timeline events for a specific recovery.

Parameters:

• recoveryId (string) - The recovery timeline ID
• config (optional) - API configuration

Returns:

{
  success: boolean
  data?: RecoveryTimelineEvent[]
  error?: string
  timestamp: number
}

Example:

const result = await fetchRecoveryEvents("recovery-123");

if (result.success) {
  result.data?.forEach(event => {
    console.log(event.title, event.status);
  });
}

pollRecoveryStatus(walletId, interval?, maxDuration?, onUpdate, config?)

Polls recovery status at regular intervals.

Parameters:

• walletId (string) - The wallet ID to poll
• interval (number) - Polling interval in ms (default: 5000)
• maxDuration (number) - Max polling duration in ms (default: 300000)
• onUpdate (function) - Callback for status updates
• config (optional) - API configuration

Returns:

• Function to stop polling

Features:

• Automatic polling at intervals
• Stops when recovery completes or fails
• Respects max duration
• Error handling

Example:

const stop = pollRecoveryStatus(
  "wallet-123",
  5000,
  300000,
  (response) => {
    if (response.success) {
      console.log("Status:", response.data?.status);
    }
  }
);

// Stop polling later
stop();

State Management Hook (src/hooks/useRecoveryStatus.ts)

Manages recovery status state and API integration.

Hook Signature:

useRecoveryStatus(walletId, options?)

Parameters:

• walletId (string | null) - The wallet ID
• options (optional):
  • autoFetch (boolean) - Auto-fetch on mount (default: true)
  • pollInterval (number) - Polling interval in ms (default: 5000)
  • maxPollDuration (number) - Max polling duration in ms (default: 300000)
  • onStatusChange (function) - Callback when status changes
  • onError (function) - Callback when error occurs

Returns:

{
  // State
  timeline: RecoveryTimeline | null
  loading: "idle" | "loading" | "success" | "error"
  error: string | null
  isStale: boolean
  lastFetchTime: number | null

  // Methods
  refetch: () => Promise<void>
  startPolling: () => void
  stopPolling: () => void
  markAsStale: () => void
  clearError: () => void

  // Computed
  isLoading: boolean
  isError: boolean
  isSuccess: boolean
  isIdle: boolean
}

Features:

• Automatic fetching on mount
• Polling for in-progress recoveries
• Stale state detection
• Error handling
• Cleanup on unmount

Example:

const {
  timeline,
  loading,
  error,
  refetch,
  isStale,
} = useRecoveryStatus("wallet-123", {
  autoFetch: true,
  pollInterval: 5000,
  onStatusChange: (timeline) => {
    console.log("Status updated:", timeline.status);
  },
  onError: (error) => {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  },
});

if (loading === "loading") return <div>Loading...</div>;
if (error) return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
if (timeline) return <RecoveryTimelineList events={timeline.events} />;

API Endpoints

    {
      "id": "event-001",
      "type": "initiated",
      "status": "completed",
      "title": "Recovery Initiated",

      "details": "User initiated recovery"
    }
  ]
}

GET /api/recovery/:recoveryId/events

  {
    "id": "event-001",
    "type": "initiated",
    "status": "completed",

Error Handling

Error Types

Network Errors

• Retryable: true
• Message: "Network error occurred. Please check your connection."

Timeout Errors

• Retryable: true
• Message: "Request timed out. Please try again."

HTTP 4xx Errors

• Retryable: false (except 408)
• Message: HTTP status message

HTTP 5xx Errors

• Retryable: true
• Message: HTTP status message

Validation Errors

• Retryable: false
• Message: "Invalid recovery timeline data received from API"

Retry Logic

• Automatic retry with exponential backoff
• Configurable retry attempts (default: 3)
• Configurable retry delay (default: 1000ms)
• Exponential backoff: delay * (attempt + 1)

Example:

Attempt 1: Immediate
Attempt 2: After 1000ms
Attempt 3: After 2000ms

State Management

Loading States

• idle - Initial state, no fetch in progress
• loading - Fetch in progress
• success - Fetch completed successfully
• error - Fetch failed

Stale State Detection

• Data marked as stale after 60 seconds
• Checked every 30 seconds
• Can be manually marked as stale
• Indicates data needs refresh

Polling Behavior

Auto-Polling

• Automatically starts when recovery status is "in_progress"
• Stops when recovery status is "completed" or "failed"
• Respects max polling duration

Manual Polling

const { startPolling, stopPolling } = useRecoveryStatus("wallet-123");

// Start polling
startPolling();

// Stop polling
stopPolling();

Configuration

Environment Variables

Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import { useRecoveryStatus } from "@/hooks/useRecoveryStatus";
import { RecoveryTimelineList } from "@/components/recovery/RecoveryTimelineList";

export function RecoveryPage() {
  const { timeline, loading, error } = useRecoveryStatus("wallet-123");

  if (loading === "loading") return <div>Loading...</div>;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
  if (!timeline) return <div>No recovery data</div>;

  return <RecoveryTimelineList events={timeline.events} />;
}

With Callbacks

const { timeline, loading, error } = useRecoveryStatus("wallet-123", {
  onStatusChange: (timeline) => {
    console.log("Recovery status:", timeline.status);
    if (timeline.status === "completed") {
      showSuccessNotification("Recovery completed!");
    }
  },
  onError: (error) => {
    console.error("Recovery error:", error);
    showErrorNotification(error);
  },
});

Manual Polling

const { timeline, startPolling, stopPolling } = useRecoveryStatus(
  "wallet-123",
  { autoFetch: false }
);

// Start polling manually
const handleStartPolling = () => {
  startPolling();
};

// Stop polling manually
const handleStopPolling = () => {
  stopPolling();
};

Stale State Handling

const { timeline, isStale, markAsStale, refetch } = useRecoveryStatus(
  "wallet-123"
);

// Check if data is stale
if (isStale) {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>Data is stale. Please refresh.</p>
      <button onClick={refetch}>Refresh</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Troubleshooting

API Not Responding

1. Check NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL environment variable
2. Verify API server is running
3. Check network connectivity
4. Review browser console for errors

Polling Not Starting

1. Verify recovery status is "in_progress"
2. Check pollInterval configuration
3. Verify maxPollDuration is sufficient
4. Check for errors in console

Stale Data

1. Call refetch() to refresh data
2. Check lastFetchTime to see when data was fetched
3. Verify isStale flag
4. Check network connectivity

Timeout Errors

1. Increase timeout configuration
2. Check API server performance
3. Verify network latency
4. Check for server-side issues
