Debugging Configuration Issues Using TanStack Config in React

Show how to implement error logging and use debugging tools to diagnose and fix configuration issues in a React application using TanStack Config.
import { useConfig } from 'tanstack-config-react';

// Custom hook to initialize and use the config
function useAppConfig() {
  const config = useConfig();

  // Error logging function
  function logError(error) {
    console.error('Config Error:', error);
  }

  // Function to check and handle configuration issues
  function checkConfig() {
    try {
      // Simulate checking for a specific configuration issue
      if (!config.apiEndpoint) {
        throw new Error('API endpoint is not defined in the configuration.');
      }
    } catch (error) {
      logError(error);
    }
  }

  return { checkConfig };
}
This code snippet demonstrates how to use the useConfig hook from TanStack Config in a React application to access application configuration. It then defines a custom hook (useAppConfig) that includes a checkConfig method for validating the configuration, such as ensuring an API endpoint is defined. Errors during the check are caught and logged using the logError function.
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useAppConfig } from './useAppConfig';

function App() {
  const { checkConfig } = useAppConfig();

  useEffect(() => {
    // Check configuration on component mount
    checkConfig();
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My React Application</h1>
    </div>
  );
}
This code snippet integrates the custom hook useAppConfig defined previously into a React component. It uses the useEffect hook to run the checkConfig function when the component mounts, ensuring the application configuration is validated early in the application's lifecycle.
