## Usage Patterns

### API Endpoints

```php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../helpers/affiliate-api-base.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/../helpers/affiliate-data-formatters.php';

$partnerId = requireAffiliateAuthAPI();
$cacheData = loadCachedHubSpotData();
$partner = getAuthenticatedPartnerValidated();

$leads = $cacheData['leads'][$partnerId] ?? [];
$formattedLeads = array_map('formatLeadForAPI', $leads);
$leadCounts = calculateLeadCounts($leads);

sendJSONResponse(true, ['leads' => $formattedLeads, 'counts' => $leadCounts]);
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const Utils = window.AffiliateUtils || {};
const Charts = window.AffiliateCharts || {};

// Formatting
const formatted = Utils.formatCurrency(1234.56);
const date = Utils.formatDate('2026-01-30');

// Error handling
Utils.handleAPIError(error, container, 'Dashboard');

// Charts
const chart = Charts.createMRRLineChart('canvasId', { labels: [...], values: [...] });
```

### Page Template

```php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../includes/affiliate-page-template.php';

renderAffiliatePage(
    'Page Title',
    'active-nav-item',
    $pageContent,
    [
        'chartJs' => 'true',
        'metaDescription' => 'Description',
        'customHead' => '<style>...</style>',
        'customScripts' => '<script>...</script>'
    ]
);
```

## Testing

### Automated Testing

Run API tests:
```bash
php v2/scripts/test-affiliate-apis.php
```

### Manual Testing

See `docs/systems/affiliate/TESTING_GUIDE.md` for complete testing checklist.

## Next Steps

### Recommended (Optional)

1. **Page Template Migration:** Migrate remaining 6 partner pages to use `renderAffiliatePage()`
2. **Performance Testing:** Run PageSpeed Insights before/after comparison
3. **Visual Testing:** Test all pages visually for regressions

### Future Enhancements

1. **Automated Tests:** Add PHPUnit tests for API endpoints
2. **E2E Tests:** Add Playwright/Cypress tests for critical flows
3. **Visual Regression:** Add Percy/Chromatic for visual testing
4. **Performance Monitoring:** Set up performance monitoring
