Worked on the coveo/ui-kit repository to enhance the reliability and correctness of facet filtering in a headless commerce context. Focused on state management and debugging, the developer implemented persistence for range facet selections, ensuring user filters remained intact across page reloads and preventing crashes caused by lost state. Addressed duplication issues in CAPI facet handling by refactoring logic to centralize state and remove deselected values from URLs, which improved both user experience and analytics accuracy. Leveraged TypeScript and JavaScript for front end development, emphasizing robust API integration and test accuracy to deliver a more stable and predictable filtering workflow.
