## Core Files & Implementation

### API Client Setup

**`lib/api.ts`**
```typescript
import axios, { AxiosInstance, AxiosError } from 'axios'

const API_URL = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL || 'http://localhost:8000'

class APIClient {
  private client: AxiosInstance

  constructor() {
    this.client = axios.create({
      baseURL: API_URL,
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    })

    this.setupInterceptors()
  }

  private setupInterceptors() {
    this.client.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
      const token = typeof window !== 'undefined'
        ? localStorage.getItem('access_token')
        : null
      if (token) {
        config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`
      }
      return config
    })

    this.client.interceptors.response.use(
      (response) => response,
      (error: AxiosError) => {
        if (error.response?.status === 401) {
          if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
            localStorage.removeItem('access_token')
            window.location.href = '/login'
          }
        }
        return Promise.reject(error)
      }
    )
  }

  get<T>(url: string, config?: any) {
    return this.client.get<T>(url, config)
  }

  post<T>(url: string, data?: any, config?: any) {
    return this.client.post<T>(url, data, config)
  }

  patch<T>(url: string, data?: any, config?: any) {
    return this.client.patch<T>(url, data, config)
  }

  delete<T>(url: string, config?: any) {
    return this.client.delete<T>(url, config)
  }
}

export const apiClient = new APIClient()
```

### Authentication Store

**`store/authStore.ts`**
```typescript
import { create } from 'zustand'
import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api'

export interface User {
  id: string
  name: string
  email: string
  is_active: boolean
  created_at: string
}

export interface AuthState {
  user: User | null
  token: string | null
  isLoading: boolean
  error: string | null

  signup: (name: string, email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>
  login: (email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>
  logout: () => void
  setUser: (user: User) => void
  clearError: () => void
}

export const useAuthStore = create<AuthState>((set) => ({
  user: null,
  token: typeof window !== 'undefined' ? localStorage.getItem('access_token') : null,
  isLoading: false,
  error: null,

  signup: async (name, email, password) => {
    set({ isLoading: true, error: null })
    try {
      const response = await apiClient.post('/auth/signup', {
        name,
        email,
        password,
      })
      localStorage.setItem('access_token', response.data.access_token)
      set({
        user: response.data.user,
        token: response.data.access_token,
        isLoading: false,
      })
    } catch (error: any) {
      set({
        error: error.response?.data?.detail || 'Signup failed',
        isLoading: false,
      })
      throw error
    }
  },

  login: async (email, password) => {
    set({ isLoading: true, error: null })
    try {
      const response = await apiClient.post('/auth/login', {
        email,
        password,
      })
      localStorage.setItem('access_token', response.data.access_token)
      set({
        user: response.data.user,
        token: response.data.access_token,
        isLoading: false,
      })
    } catch (error: any) {
      set({
        error: error.response?.data?.detail || 'Login failed',
        isLoading: false,
      })
      throw error
    }
  },

  logout: () => {
    localStorage.removeItem('access_token')
    set({ user: null, token: null })
  },

  setUser: (user) => set({ user }),

  clearError: () => set({ error: null }),
}))
```

### Auth Hook

**`hooks/useAuth.ts`**
```typescript
'use client'

import { useCallback } from 'react'
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
import { useAuthStore } from '@/store/authStore'

export const useAuth = () => {
  const router = useRouter()
  const {
    user,
    token,
    isLoading,
    error,
    signup,
    login,
    logout,
    setUser,
    clearError,
  } = useAuthStore()

  const handleSignup = useCallback(
    async (name: string, email: string, password: string) => {
      try {
        await signup(name, email, password)
        router.push('/dashboard')
      } catch (err) {
        // Error handled in store
      }
    },
    [signup, router]
  )

  const handleLogin = useCallback(
    async (email: string, password: string) => {
      try {
        await login(email, password)
        router.push('/dashboard')
      } catch (err) {
        // Error handled in store
      }
    },
    [login, router]
  )

  const handleLogout = useCallback(() => {
    logout()
    router.push('/login')
  }, [logout, router])

  return {
    user,
    token,
    isLoading,
    error,
    isAuthenticated: !!token,
    handleSignup,
    handleLogin,
    handleLogout,
    clearError,
  }
}
```
