🧪 Technical Implementation

State Management

// Selection state using React hooks
const [selectedItems, setSelectedItems] = useState([]);
const [isSelectionMode, setIsSelectionMode] = useState(false);

// Toggle individual item selection
const toggleItemSelection = (id) => {
  setSelectedItems(prev => {
    const set = new Set(prev.map(String));
    if (set.has(String(id))) {
      set.delete(String(id));
    } else {
      set.add(String(id));
    }
    return Array.from(set);
  });
};

Bulk Operations

// Bulk delete with error handling
const handleBulkDelete = async () => {
  try {
    const deletePromises = selectedItems.map(id => 
      activeTab === 'revenues' ? Revenue.delete(id) : Expense.delete(id)
    );
    
    await Promise.all(deletePromises);
    await loadData(); // Refresh data
    setSelectedItems([]); // Clear selection
    setIsSelectionMode(false); // Exit selection mode
    
    toast.success(`Successfully deleted ${selectedItems.length} items!`);
  } catch (error) {
    toast.error(`Error deleting items: ${error.message}`);
  }
};
