Descrizione
### Feature and its Use Cases
## Feature: Request Cancellation & Timeout Handling for API Calls
### What is the feature?
Implement request cancellation and timeout control for frontend API calls using AbortController and configurable timeout logic.
Currently, API requests continue running even if:
- The user clicks the "Next" button multiple times
- The backend takes too long to respond
- The user navigates away during an ongoing request
This enhancement will ensure better control over in-flight network requests.
---
### How would users benefit from it?
- Prevents infinite loading state during backend delays
- Avoids duplicate question generation requests
- Improves responsiveness and perceived performance
- Ensures loading spinner always resets properly
- Provides a more production-ready user experience
---
### What scenarios would this feature address?
1. Backend model inference takes too long
2. User double-clicks the "Next" button
3. User changes page during active request
4. Network connection becomes unstable
5. Multiple API calls are triggered rapidly
By implementing cancellation and timeout logic, the UI remains stable and predictable.
### Additional Context
This enhancement will primarily affect:
- apiClient.js
- Text_Input.jsx
- Any other components consuming API endpoints
Proposed implementation:
- Use AbortController to cancel previous requests before starting new ones
- Add configurable timeout (e.g., 20 seconds)
- Ensure loading state resets on abort, timeout, or error
- Optionally disable "Next" button while request is active
I am willing to implement this enhancement.
