+
+## UI Components
+
+### Connection Status Indicator
+
+```tsx
+import { ConnectionStatusIndicator } from '@/components/subscription/SubscriptionUI';
+
+export function Header() {
+ return (
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Connection Status Banner
+
+```tsx
+import { ConnectionStatusBanner } from '@/components/subscription/SubscriptionUI';
+
+export function App() {
+ return (
+ <>
+ window.location.reload(),
+ }}
+ />
+ {/* Your app content */}
+ >
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Loading State with Fallback
+
+```tsx
+import { SubscriptionLoadingState } from '@/components/subscription/SubscriptionUI';
+
+export function PostFeed() {
+ const { data, loading, error } = useSubscription(POST_SUBSCRIPTION);
+
+ return (
+ }
+ >
+
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Connection Management
+
+### Connection States
+
+```tsx
+import { ConnectionState } from '@/lib/graphql/subscriptions';
+import { useSubscriptionConnection } from '@/hooks/useSubscription';
+
+export function ConnectionMonitor() {
+ const state = useSubscriptionConnection();
+
+ return (
+
+ {state === ConnectionState.CONNECTED &&
✓ Connected
}
+ {state === ConnectionState.CONNECTING &&
⟳ Connecting...
}
+ {state === ConnectionState.RECONNECTING &&
⟳ Reconnecting...
}
+ {state === ConnectionState.DISCONNECTED &&
✗ Offline
}
+ {state === ConnectionState.ERROR &&
⚠ Error
}
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Manual Resubscription
+
+```tsx
+export function SubscriptionComponent() {
+ const { data, error, resubscribe } = useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION);
+
+ function handleRetry() {
+ resubscribe(); // Manually reconnect
+ }
+
+ if (error) {
+ return Retry Connection ;
+ }
+
+ return {/* Display data */}
;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Connection Errors
+
+```tsx
+import { isConnectionError } from '@/lib/graphql/subscriptions';
+
+export function SafeSubscription() {
+ const { error } = useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION);
+
+ if (error && isConnectionError(error)) {
+ return Network connection lost. Retrying...
;
+ }
+
+ return {/* Normal content */}
;
+}
+```
+
+### Format Error Messages
+
+```tsx
+import { formatSubscriptionError } from '@/lib/graphql/subscriptions';
+
+export function SubscriptionWithErrorDisplay() {
+ const { error } = useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION);
+
+ return (
+
+ {error && (
+
+ )}
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Multiple Subscriptions
+
+```tsx
+export function Dashboard() {
+ const posts = useSubscription(NEW_POSTS_SUBSCRIPTION, {
+ variables: { topicId: 'web3' },
+ });
+
+ const notifications = useSubscription(USER_NOTIFICATIONS_SUBSCRIPTION, {
+ variables: { userId: 'user-123' },
+ });
+
+ const tips = useSubscription(TIPPING_UPDATES_SUBSCRIPTION, {
+ variables: { recipientId: 'user-123' },
+ });
+
+ return (
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional Subscriptions
+
+```tsx
+interface Props {
+ postId?: string;
+ isOpen: boolean;
+}
+
+export function PostComments({ postId, isOpen }: Props) {
+ const { data } = useSubscription(
+ POST_COMMENTS_SUBSCRIPTION,
+ {
+ variables: { postId: postId || '' },
+ skip: !isOpen || !postId, // Skip if post not open or no postId
+ },
+ );
+
+ if (!isOpen) return null;
+ return ;
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Subscription Hooks
+
+```tsx
+// Create a custom hook for specific feature
+export function usePostComments(postId: string) {
+ return useSubscription(
+ POST_COMMENTS_SUBSCRIPTION,
+ {
+ variables: { postId },
+ onData: (comment) => {
+ // Custom logic here
+ playNotificationSound();
+ },
+ },
+ );
+}
+
+// Use in component
+export function Comments({ postId }: { postId: string }) {
+ const { data, loading } = usePostComments(postId);
+ return {/* Display comments */}
;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Memoization
+
+```tsx
+import { useCallback, useMemo } from 'react';
+
+export function OptimizedFeed() {
+ const variables = useMemo(() => ({ topicId: 'web3' }), []);
+
+ const { data } = useSubscription(NEW_POSTS_SUBSCRIPTION, {
+ variables,
+ });
+
+ const handlePostClick = useCallback((postId: string) => {
+ // Handle click
+ }, []);
+
+ return ;
+}
+```
+
+### Subscription Cleanup
+
+The `useSubscription` hook automatically cleans up resources:
+- Unsubscribes when component unmounts
+- Clears timers and listeners
+- Closes WebSocket connections
+
+No manual cleanup needed!
+
+---
+
+## Browser Support
+
+✅ Chrome/Edge 96+
+✅ Firefox 95+
+✅ Safari 15+
+✅ Mobile browsers (iOS Safari 15+, Chrome Android)
+
+**Note**: WebSocket requires secure contexts (HTTPS, except localhost)
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Custom Reconnection Settings
+
+```tsx
+const config = {
+ subscriptionUrl: 'wss://api.teachlink.com/graphql',
+ httpUrl: 'https://api.teachlink.com/graphql',
+ reconnect: {
+ maxRetries: 10, // Retry up to 10 times
+ initialDelayMs: 500, // Start with 500ms delay
+ maxDelayMs: 60000, // Cap at 60 seconds
+ },
+ connectionTimeoutMs: 10000, // 10 second timeout
+};
+
+
+ {children}
+
+```
+
+### Custom Apollo Client
+
+```tsx
+import { ApolloClient, InMemoryCache } from '@apollo/client';
+import { SubscriptionProvider } from '@/components/SubscriptionProvider';
+
+const customClient = new ApolloClient({
+ cache: new InMemoryCache(),
+ // ... your configuration
+});
+
+
+ {children}
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Subscriptions
+
+```tsx
+import { renderHook, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { useSubscription } from '@/hooks/useSubscription';
+
+describe('useSubscription', () => {
+ it('should subscribe and receive data', async () => {
+ const { result } = renderHook(() =>
+ useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION)
+ );
+
+ await waitFor(() => {
+ expect(result.current.data).toBeDefined();
+ });
+ });
+});
+```
+
+### Mock Subscriptions
+
+```tsx
+import { MockedProvider } from '@apollo/client/testing';
+
+const mocks = [
+ {
+ request: {
+ query: SUBSCRIPTION,
+ variables: { id: '1' },
+ },
+ result: {
+ data: {
+ onUpdate: { id: '1', data: 'test' },
+ },
+ },
+ },
+];
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Subscription not connecting
+
+```
+Check:
+1. WebSocket URL is correct and accessible
+2. Authentication headers are valid
+3. Browser console for specific error messages
+4. Network tab for failed connections
+```
+
+### Data not updating
+
+```
+Check:
+1. Subscription is not skipped (skip: true)
+2. Variables are correct
+3. Connection state is CONNECTED
+4. Server is sending updates
+```
+
+### Memory leaks
+
+```
+Check:
+1. Components unmounting properly
+2. No manual subscriptions without cleanup
+3. useSubscription is used (not manual subscribe)
+4. No circular dependencies in cache policies
+```
+
+### WebSocket connection timeout
+
+```
+Solution:
+1. Increase connectionTimeoutMs in config
+2. Check network latency
+3. Verify server is responding
+4. Check firewall/proxy settings
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+✅ **Do:**
+- Wrap app with `SubscriptionProvider` once at root
+- Use `useSubscription` hook for subscriptions
+- Handle errors gracefully with fallback UI
+- Implement retry logic for failed connections
+- Monitor connection state for UX improvements
+- Clean up with proper dependency arrays
+
+❌ **Don't:**
+- Create multiple SubscriptionProviders
+- Subscribe in server components
+- Ignore connection errors
+- Subscribe to large result sets without filtering
+- Block UI on subscription data
+- Forget to handle unmounting

+│ └─ GraphQLWsLink (subscriptions)
+│
+├─ SubscriptionProvider (React Context)
+│ └─ Wraps entire app with Apollo
+│
+├─ Connection Manager (Singleton)
+│ ├─ Tracks connection state
+│ ├─ Manages reconnection logic
+│ └─ Notifies listeners
+│
+├─ useSubscription Hook
+│ ├─ Manages subscription lifecycle
+│ ├─ Handles errors & reconnection

+│ └─ Seamless data flow
+│
+└─ UI Components
+ ├─ ConnectionStatusIndicator
+ ├─ ConnectionStatusBanner
+ ├─ SubscriptionLoadingState
+ └─ RealtimeUpdateIndicator
+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+User Request
+ ↓
+[Skip?] → Yes → Return with skip=true
+ ↓ No
+Subscribe via Apollo Client
+ ↓
+[Connection Manager State]
+ ├─ CONNECTING
+ ├─ CONNECTED ← Data updates flow here
+ ├─ RECONNECTING ← Auto-retry on failure
+ ├─ DISCONNECTED ← Fall back to polling
+ └─ ERROR ← Show error UI

+## Installation & Setup
+
+### Step 1: Dependencies Already Added
+
+Check `package.json` - these are already included:
+```json
+{
+ "@apollo/client": "^3.8.0",
+ "graphql": "^16.8.0",
+ "graphql-ws": "^5.14.0",
+ "socket.io-client": "^4.8.3"
+}
+```
+
+Install if needed:
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### Step 2: Environment Variables
+
+Create `.env.local`:
+```bash
+# GraphQL Subscription Endpoints
+NEXT_PUBLIC_GRAPHQL_WS_URL=wss://api.teachlink.com/graphql
+NEXT_PUBLIC_GRAPHQL_HTTP_URL=https://api.teachlink.com/graphql
+
+# Authentication
+NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-jwt-token
+
+# Optional: Connection settings
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SUBSCRIPTION_TIMEOUT=5000
+```
+
+### Step 3: Wrap App with Provider
+
+**File**: `src/app/layout.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { SubscriptionProvider } from '@/components/SubscriptionProvider';
+
+export default function RootLayout({
+ children,
+}: {
+ children: React.ReactNode;
+}) {
+ return (
+
+
+
+ {children}
+
+
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Subscription
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useSubscription } from '@/hooks/useSubscription';
+import { NEW_POSTS_SUBSCRIPTION } from '@/lib/graphql/subscriptionQueries';
+
+export function PostFeed() {
+ const { data, loading, error, connectionState } = useSubscription(
+ NEW_POSTS_SUBSCRIPTION,
+ {
+ variables: { topicId: 'web3' },
+ },
+ );
+
+ if (loading) return Loading...
;
+ if (error) return Error: {error.message}
;
+
+ return (
+
+ {data?.onNewPost && (
+
+
{data.onNewPost.title}
+
{data.onNewPost.content}
+
+ )}
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### With Connection Status
+
+```tsx
+export function NotificationCenter() {
+ const { data, connectionState, resubscribe } = useSubscription(
+ USER_NOTIFICATIONS_SUBSCRIPTION,
+ {
+ variables: { userId: 'user-123' },
+ onData: (notification) => {
+ showToast(notification.message);
+ },
+ },
+ );
+
+ return (
+
+
+
+ {connectionState === ConnectionState.ERROR && (
+ Retry Connection
+ )}
+
+
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### With Polling Fallback
+
+```tsx
+export function LiveResults() {
+ const { data, loading } = usePollableSubscription(
+ LIVE_QUIZ_RESPONSES_SUBSCRIPTION,
+ {
+ variables: { quizId: 'quiz-123' },
+ pollFn: async () => {
+ const res = await fetch(`/api/quiz/quiz-123/responses`);
+ return res.json();
+ },
+ pollIntervalMs: 5000,
+ },
+ );
+
+ return (
+
+ {loading && }
+
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Connection Management
+
+### Connection States
+
+```typescript
+enum ConnectionState {
+ CONNECTING = 'CONNECTING', // Initial connection
+ CONNECTED = 'CONNECTED', // Ready for data
+ DISCONNECTED = 'DISCONNECTED', // Offline
+ ERROR = 'ERROR', // Connection error
+ RECONNECTING = 'RECONNECTING', // Retry attempt
+}
+```
+
+### State Transitions
+
+```
+DISCONNECTED
+ ↓
+CONNECTING → CONNECTED ← Updates flow
+ ↓
+ERROR → RECONNECTING → CONNECTED
+ ↓
+DISCONNECTED (max retries reached)
+```
+
+### Monitor Connection
+
+```tsx
+import { useSubscriptionConnection } from '@/hooks/useSubscription';
+import { ConnectionStatusBanner } from '@/components/subscription/SubscriptionUI';
+
+export function App() {
+ const state = useSubscriptionConnection();
+
+ return (
+ <>
+
+ {state === 'CONNECTED' && }
+ >
+ );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Types
+
+```typescript
+// Apollo Client Error
+ApolloError {
+ message: string;
+ graphQLErrors: GraphQLError[];
+ networkError: Error;
+ extensions?: Record;
+}
+
+// Subscription Error (custom)
+SubscriptionError {
+ reason: 'connection' | 'subscription' | 'timeout' | 'unknown';
+ message: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Handle Errors
+
+```tsx
+const { error, errorMessage, resubscribe } = useSubscription(
+ SUBSCRIPTION,
+ {
+ onError: (error) => {
+ if (isConnectionError(error)) {
+ console.log('Network error, will retry...');
+ } else {
+ console.log('Subscription error:', error.message);
+ }
+ },
+ },
+);
+
+if (error) {
+ return (
+
+
{formatSubscriptionError(error)}
+
Retry
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Error Recovery
+
+Automatic:
+- ✅ Exponential backoff reconnection
+- ✅ Max 5 retry attempts (configurable)
+- ✅ Delay: 1000ms → 2000ms → 4000ms...
+
+Manual:
+- ✅ `resubscribe()` function
+- ✅ User-triggered refresh button
+
+---
+
+## Performance
+
+### Optimizations
+
+1. **Memoization**: Use `useMemo` for variables
+ ```tsx
+ const variables = useMemo(() => ({ topicId }), [topicId]);
+ ```
+
+2. **Conditional Subscriptions**: Skip when not needed
+ ```tsx
+ const { data } = useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION, {
+ skip: !isOpen,
+ });
+ ```
+
+3. **Multiple Subscriptions**: Subscribe to what you need
+ ```tsx
+ // ✓ Good: Subscribe only to needed data
+ const posts = useSubscription(NEW_POSTS, { variables: {...} });
+
+ // ✗ Bad: Subscribe to everything
+ const all = useSubscription(ALL_DATA, {});
+ ```
+
+4. **Cleanup**: Automatic on unmount
+ ```tsx
+ // No manual cleanup needed!
+ // useSubscription handles everything
+ ```
+
+### Bundle Size Impact
+
+- `@apollo/client`: ~80KB gzipped
+- `graphql-ws`: ~12KB gzipped
+- `graphql`: ~15KB gzipped
+- **Total**: ~107KB (one-time, shared)
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Subscriptions
+
+```tsx
+import { renderHook, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { useSubscription } from '@/hooks/useSubscription';
+
+describe('useSubscription', () => {
+ it('should handle subscription data', async () => {
+ const { result } = renderHook(() =>
+ useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION)
+ );
+
+ await waitFor(() => {
+ expect(result.current.data).toBeDefined();
+ });
+
+ expect(result.current.loading).toBe(false);
+ });
+
+ it('should retry on error', async () => {
+ const onError = vi.fn();
+ const { result, rerender } = renderHook(
+ () => useSubscription(SUBSCRIPTION, { onError })
+ );
+
+ await waitFor(() => {
+ expect(onError).toHaveBeenCalled();
+ });
+
+ result.current.resubscribe();
+
+ expect(result.current.loading).toBe(true);
+ });
+});
+```
+
+### Mock Apollo Client
+
+```tsx
+import { MockedProvider } from '@apollo/client/testing';
+
+const mocks = [{
+ request: {
+ query: SUBSCRIPTION,
+ variables: { id: '1' },
+ },
+ result: {
+ data: {
+ onUpdate: { id: '1', data: 'test' },
+ },
+ },
+}];
+
+render(
+
+
+
+);
+```

+# Pull Request: GraphQL Subscriptions - Real-Time Data Updates
+
+## PR Title
+✨ feat: Implement GraphQL Subscriptions with Real-Time Data Updates (Close #266)
+
+## Description
+
+This PR implements comprehensive GraphQL subscriptions for TeachLink, enabling real-time data updates without polling. The implementation leverages Apollo Client with graphql-ws for efficient WebSocket communication and includes automatic reconnection, error recovery, connection state tracking, and production-ready UI components.
+
+### Problem Statement
+TeachLink requires real-time data updates for notifications, feed updates, tipping, reputation changes, and user activity. Previous approach relied on polling, which is inefficient, has high latency, and increases server load.

+- **Apollo Client integration** for seamless GraphQL client
+- **Automatic reconnection** with exponential backoff
+- **Connection lifecycle management** with state tracking
+- **Error recovery mechanisms** including polling fallback
+- **Pre-built subscription queries** for common TeachLink features
+- **React hooks** (`useSubscription`, `usePollableSubscription`) for easy integration
+- **UI components** for connection status and state management
+- **Comprehensive documentation** and demo page

+ >
+ More sharing options
+
+
+
setShowShare(false)}
+ shareUrl={shareUrl}
+ title={`Share ${topicName}`}
+ />
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+## Styling
+
+### Customizing QR Code Colors
+
+```tsx
+// Blue theme
+
+
+// Dark theme
+
+```
+
+### Responsive Sizing
+
+```tsx
+// Mobile
+
+
+// Tablet
+
+
+// Desktop
+
+```
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- All buttons have `aria-label` and `title` attributes
+- Modal uses ARIA roles and manages focus
+- Keyboard navigation support (Escape to close)
+- Screen reader announcements for actions
+- High contrast in dark mode
+- Color-independent status indication (icons + text)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The feature includes comprehensive error handling:
+
+```tsx
+// Validation
+if (!isValidQRUrl(url)) {
+ throw new Error('Invalid URL for QR code');
+}
+
+// Download errors
+try {
+ await downloadQRCode(canvas);
+} catch (error) {
+ toast.error('Failed to download QR code');
+}
+
+// Print errors
+try {
+ await printQRCode(canvas);
+} catch (error) {
+ toast.error('Failed to open print dialog');
+}
+```
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+### Required Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Optional: Set custom domain for QR code URLs
+NEXT_PUBLIC_DOMAIN=https://teachlink.com
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- `qrcode.react` ^1.0.1 - QR code generation
+- `lucide-react` - Icons (Download, Printer, Copy, Close)
+- `react-hot-toast` - Notifications
+
+## Testing
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+npm run test -- src/utils/generate-qr.test.ts
+npm run test -- src/components/__tests__/QRCode.test.tsx
+npm run test -- src/components/__tests__/ShareModal.test.tsx
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+The implementation includes unit tests for:
+
+- ✅ URL validation
+- ✅ QR code generation
+- ✅ Download functionality
+- ✅ Print functionality
+- ✅ Clipboard operations
+- ✅ Component rendering
+- ✅ Error handling
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Canvas Rendering**: QR codes are rendered once and cached
+2. **Lazy Loading**: Modal content loads on demand
+3. **Image Optimization**: PNG format for crisp QR code rendering
+4. **Memory Efficiency**: Canvas references properly cleaned up
+
+## Browser Support
+
+- ✅ Chrome/Edge 96+
+- ✅ Firefox 95+
+- ✅ Safari 15+
+- ✅ Mobile browsers (iOS Safari 15+, Chrome Android)
+
+**Note**: Clipboard API requires HTTPS (except localhost)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### QR Code not displaying
+
+```tsx
+// Ensure value is provided
+ // ✅
+ // ❌ Will show "No value provided"
+```
+
+### Copy to clipboard not working
+
+- Check browser is using HTTPS (or localhost for development)
+- Verify `qrRef.current` is properly set
+- Use fallback: Only copy URL text instead
+
+### Print dialog not opening
+
+- Ensure `qrRef.current` is available
+- Check browser print settings aren't blocking preview
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Custom QR code logos/branding
+- [ ] Social media-specific QR codes
+- [ ] Analytics tracking for QR scans
+- [ ] Batch QR code generation
+- [ ] Different QR data formats (WiFi, vCard, etc.)
+- [ ] Color picker UI for custom themes
+
+## Contribution Guidelines
+
+When adding QR code features:
+
+1. Maintain accessibility standards
+2. Add tests for new utilities
+3. Update TypeScript types
+4. Document new props/functions
+5. Test in light and dark modes
+6. Ensure mobile responsiveness
+7. Follow existing code patterns

+
+export function TopicCard({ topicSlug }) {
+ return (
+
+
Share via QR
+
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+## 📚 Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Profile Sharing
+```tsx
+export function ProfileCard({ username }) {
+ const [showShare, setShowShare] = useState(false);
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ setShowShare(true)}>Share Profile
+ setShowShare(false)}
+ shareUrl={`https://teachlink.com/profile/${username}`}
+ title={`Share ${username}'s Profile`}
+ fgColor="#3b82f6"
+ />
+ >
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Resource Card with QR
+```tsx
+export function ResourceCard({ resourceId, title }) {
+ return (
+
+
{title}
+
+
Scan to access
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Full Page Share
+```tsx
+export function SharePage({ item }) {
+ const [showShare, setShowShare] = useState(false);
+
+ return (
+
+
+ {item.title}
+ setShowShare(true)}>Share
+
+
+ setShowShare(false)}
+ shareUrl={`${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}/${item.type}/${item.id}`}
+ title={`Share ${item.type}`}
+ description={`Share this ${item.type} with others`}
+ qrSize={300}
+ />
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+## 🎨 Customization
+
+### Custom Colors
+```tsx
+
+```
+
+### Different Sizes
+```tsx
+// Mobile
+
+
+// Desktop
+
+```
+
+### Themed QR Code
+```tsx
+// Dark mode
+
+
+// Brand color
+
+```
+
+## ✅ Accepted Use Cases
+
+### ✅ Do Use For:
+- Post/article sharing

+
+## 🔧 Common Customizations
+
+### Custom Share URL Format
+```tsx
+// Your custom URL scheme
+const shareUrl = `teachlink://post/${postId}?utm_source=qr&utm_medium=share`;
+
+ setShowShare(false)}
+ shareUrl={shareUrl}
+/>
+```
+
+### Conditional Rendering
+```tsx
+export function ShareButton({ isLoggedIn, itemId }) {
+ const [showShare, setShowShare] = useState(false);
+
+ if (!isLoggedIn) {
+ return Login to share ;
+ }
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ setShowShare(true)}>Share
+ setShowShare(false)}
+ shareUrl={`https://teachlink.com/post/${itemId}`}
+ />
+ >
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### With Error Boundaries
+```tsx
+import { ErrorBoundarySystem } from '@/components';
+
+export function SafeShare({ itemId }) {
+ return (
+
+ {}}
+ shareUrl={`https://teachlink.com/post/${itemId}`}
+ />
+
+ );
+}
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing in Development
