This PR adds comprehensive JSDoc documentation to the useAuth hook in contexts/AuthContext.tsx to improve developer understanding of the authentication state management functionality.

Changes Made

The useAuth hook now includes detailed JSDoc comments that document:

  • Function purpose: Clear description of what the hook provides and its requirements
  • Return values: Complete documentation of each property in the returned object:
    • user: Firebase User object or null for authentication state
    • auth: Firebase Auth instance for authentication operations
    • logout: Async function to sign out and clear cached data
    • isSigningOut: Boolean flag indicating sign-out process status
  • Error handling: Documents when the hook throws an error (usage outside AuthProvider)
  • Usage example: Practical React Native example showing proper implementation

Benefits

  • Improves developer experience with clear API documentation
  • Reduces onboarding time for new developers working with authentication
  • Provides IntelliSense/autocomplete support in modern IDEs
  • Documents the authentication flow and state management patterns
  • No functional changes - purely documentation enhancement

Example Usage

const { user, logout, isSigningOut } = useAuth();

if (!user) {
  return <Text>Not authenticated</Text>;
}

return (
  <Button 
    title={isSigningOut ? "Signing out..." : "Sign Out"} 
    onPress={logout}
    disabled={isSigningOut}
  />
);

Fixes #380.
