Changes Summary

New Components

1. DepositErrorAlert.tsx (101 lines)

A reusable, semantic alert component for displaying deposit-related errors.

Features:

  • Semantic error types: validation, network, kyc, server, asset, amount
  • Color-coded visual design based on error severity
  • Optional retry capability for retryable errors
  • Dismissible alerts with smooth animations
  • Full accessibility support (ARIA live regions, proper roles)

Error Type Styling:

  • Validation: Amber/warning (user action required)
  • Network: Rose/error (connectivity issue)
  • KYC: Orange/warning (verification required)
  • Server: Red/critical (backend issue)
  • Asset: Cyan/info (asset unavailable)
  • Amount: Amber/warning (validation issue)

2. DepositForm.tsx (253 lines)

A deposit-specific form component with field-level validation and error feedback.

Features:

  • Real-time field validation on blur and change
  • Field-specific error messages with visual indicators
  • Deposit-specific validation rules:
    • Amount: $10–$100,000 range
    • Email validation
    • Stellar wallet address validation
  • Form-level error summary display
  • Visual feedback (✓ for valid, ⚠ for invalid fields)
  • Full accessibility compliance

Validation Rules:

  • Required fields must not be empty
  • Amount must be valid decimal (1–2 places)

3. SEP24Flow.tsx (Enhanced - 78 lines added)

Enhanced the main deposit/withdrawal flow component with error management.

New Features:

  • Error state management for deposits (depositError) and KYC (kycError)
  • Error alerts display before forms in deposit flow
  • KYC dismissal triggers "Verification Required" error
  • Errors clear when navigating between steps
  • Asset selection updates properly before proceeding
  • Deposit flow (Step 3) now uses dedicated DepositForm with error handling

Testing Recommendations

Manual Testing Scenarios

  1. Validation Errors

    • Try submitting with empty required fields
    • Try amount < $10 or > $100,000
    • Try invalid email format
    • Try invalid wallet address
    • Verify error messages appear
    • Verify field indicators update

  2. Form Recovery

    • Fix each error and re-test
    • Verify field indicators change to success state
    • Verify form can submit successfully

  3. KYC Flow

    • Complete deposit form
    • Cancel/dismiss KYC verification
    • Verify "Verification Required" error appears
    • Try again and complete verification

  4. Error Dismissal

    • Dismiss error alerts
    • Navigate between steps
    • Verify errors clear appropriately

  5. Accessibility Testing

    • Test with keyboard only navigation
    • Test with screen reader
    • Verify error announcements
    • Test focus management

Unit Tests to Add (Future)

  • DepositErrorAlert rendering for each error type
  • DepositForm validation for each rule
  • SEP24Flow error state transitions
  • Error clearing on navigation
