# Verification Steps for ContactForm API Integration
## Manual Verification Required
The ContactForm has been updated to call the real API route at `/api/contact` instead of simulating the submission.
### Test in Browser
1. **Navigate to**: http://localhost:3000/en/contact
2. **Test Successful Submission**:
- Fill in all form fields (name, email, message)
- Click "Send Message"
- Verify: Success message appears
- Verify: Form fields are cleared
- Verify: No console errors
3. **Test Rate Limiting**:
- Submit the form 5 times rapidly
- On the 6th submission, verify:
- Error message appears with rate limit warning
- Message shows time until retry (e.g., "Too many requests. Please try again in 60 minutes.")
- Form is still functional (not broken)
4. **Test Validation**:
- Try submitting with empty fields
- Verify validation errors appear
- Try submitting with invalid email
- Verify email validation error appears
5. **Test Error Display**:
- Verify error messages are clearly visible
- Verify error messages disappear on successful submission
- Check that UI remains user-friendly
### Expected Behavior
- ✅ Form submits to `/api/contact` with POST request
- ✅ Success message displays on 200 response
- ✅ Rate limit error displays on 429 response with countdown
- ✅ Generic error message displays on other errors
- ✅ Form validation works before API call
- ✅ Loading state shows during submission
- ✅ Form is disabled during submission
### Changes Made
1. Added `errorMessage` state to store custom error messages
2. Replaced simulated API call with real `fetch()` to `/api/contact`
3. Added response status handling:
- 200 (OK): Success message, clear form
- 429 (Rate Limited): Display time until retry
- 400/500: Display API error message
4. Improved error message display with custom messages
