React Component Generator
Frontend
Generate a complete React component with TypeScript, props interface, and styling
react
typescript
tailwind
accessibility
Create a React component called [ComponentName] with the following requirements:

- Use TypeScript with proper prop interfaces
- Include responsive design with Tailwind CSS
- Add accessibility attributes (ARIA labels, keyboard navigation)
- Include loading and error states
- Export both the component and its types

Example usage:

- Input validation using Zod schema
- Error handling with appropriate HTTP status codes
- Rate limiting considerations
- CORS headers if needed
- Logging for debugging

The endpoint should handle:
- GET requests for data retrieval
- POST requests for data creation
