## Code Examples

### React Native Component
```javascript
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TextInput, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';

const LoginForm = () => {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const navigation = useNavigation();

  const handleLogin = async () => {
    setLoading(true);
    try {
      // API call for authentication
      await loginAPI(email, password);
      navigation.navigate('Home');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Login failed:', error);
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.title}>Login</Text>
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Email"
        value={email}
        onChangeText={setEmail}
        keyboardType="email-address"
        autoCapitalize="none"
      />
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Password"
        value={password}
        onChangeText={setPassword}
        secureTextEntry
      />
      <Button
        title={loading ? "Logging in..." : "Login"}
        onPress={handleLogin}
        disabled={loading}
      />
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    padding: 20,
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 24,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    textAlign: 'center',
    marginBottom: 20,
  },
  input: {
    height: 40,
    borderColor: 'gray',
    borderWidth: 1,
    marginBottom: 10,
    paddingHorizontal: 10,
  },
});
```

### SwiftUI View
```swift
import SwiftUI

struct LoginView: View {
    @State private var email = ""
    @State private var password = ""
    @State private var showingAlert = false
    @State private var alertMessage = ""
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack(spacing: 20) {
            Text("Login")
                .font(.largeTitle)
                .fontWeight(.bold)
            
            TextField("Email", text: $email)
                .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
                .keyboardType(.emailAddress)
                .autocapitalization(.none)
            
            SecureField("Password", text: $password)
                .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
            
            Button(action: login) {
                Text("Login")
                    .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                    .padding()
                    .background(Color.blue)
                    .foregroundColor(.white)
                    .cornerRadius(10)
            }
            .disabled(email.isEmpty || password.isEmpty)
        }
        .padding()
        .alert(isPresented: $showingAlert) {
            Alert(title: Text("Error"), message: Text(alertMessage))
        }
    }
    
    private func login() {
        // Authentication logic
        guard !email.isEmpty, !password.isEmpty else {
            alertMessage = "Please fill in all fields"
            showingAlert = true
            return
        }
        
        // API call for authentication
        AuthAPI.login(email: email, password: password) { result in
            switch result {
            case .success:
                // Navigate to home screen
                break
            case .failure(let error):
                alertMessage = error.localizedDescription
                showingAlert = true
            }
        }
    }
}
```

### Flutter Widget
```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class LoginForm extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _LoginFormState createState() => _LoginFormState();
}

class _LoginFormState extends State<LoginForm> {
  final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
  final _emailController = TextEditingController();
  final _passwordController = TextEditingController();
  bool _isLoading = false;

  Future<void> _login() async {
    if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {
      setState(() => _isLoading = true);
      
      try {
        await AuthAPI.login(
          email: _emailController.text,
          password: _passwordController.text,
        );
        
        Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/home');
      } catch (e) {
        ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
          SnackBar(content: Text('Login failed: ${e.toString()}')),
        );
      } finally {
        setState(() => _isLoading = false);
      }
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Login')),
      body: Padding(
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
        child: Form(
          key: _formKey,
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              TextFormField(
                controller: _emailController,
                decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Email'),
                keyboardType: TextInputType.emailAddress,
                validator: (value) {
                  if (value == null || value.isEmpty) {
                    return 'Please enter your email';
                  }
                  return null;
                },
              ),
              SizedBox(height: 16),
              TextFormField(
                controller: _passwordController,
                decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Password'),
                obscureText: true,
                validator: (value) {
                  if (value == null || value.isEmpty) {
                    return 'Please enter your password';
                  }
                  return null;
                },
              ),
              SizedBox(height: 24),
              _isLoading
                  ? CircularProgressIndicator()
                  : ElevatedButton(
                      onPressed: _login,
                      child: Text('Login'),
                      style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
                        minimumSize: Size(double.infinity, 48),
                      ),
                    ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
```
