How do you handle API errors and loading states in the UI?
Answer
A good UX clearly communicates state.
**Pattern:**
- Loading: skeletons/spinners with timeouts
- Success: show updated data and confirmation
- Error: human-friendly message + retry action
Also handle:
- Empty states
- Partial failures
- Offline mode (optional)
**Interview tip:** mention consistent error shapes, logging, and not exposing sensitive backend details to users.
