    • Network errors
    • 404 Not Found
    • 400 Bad Request
    • 500 Server Error
  • Form Validation: Client-side validation with helpful messages

5. Loading States ✓

  • BehaviorSubject: Observable loading state in service
  • Visual Feedback:
    • Spinner during data fetching
    • "Saving..." text on submit button
    • Disabled buttons during operations
  • Proper Cleanup: Using finalize() operator

6. User-Friendly Display ✓

  • Card Layout: Modern, responsive grid design
