Using Playwright for End-to-End Testing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In our project, we use Playwright for end-to-end testing to simulate real user interactions with our application. Playwright provides a high-level API to control headless or non-headless browsers, enabling us to automate browser tasks and test our application in real-world scenarios.

In this example, we use Playwright to test the interactions with the filter sidebar on the Transactions page. We navigate to the Transactions page before each test and wait for the page to load. In the test, we simulate user interactions with the filter sidebar, such as clicking on buttons and checking the visibility of elements. We use Playwright's `expect` function to assert the expected outcomes of these interactions.

This approach allows us to ensure that our application behaves as expected when users interact with it, providing us with confidence in the quality of our application.

Setting Up MSW in Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In our project, we set up the Mock Service Worker (MSW) in development mode to mock API responses. This is done in the `main.tsx` file, where we conditionally import the MSW worker and start it if the application is running in development mode.

In this function, we first check if the application is running in development mode. If it is, we dynamically import the MSW worker, `http`, and `HttpResponse` from our browser mocks. We then assign these to the `window.msw` object, making them globally available. This allows us to modify the request handlers at runtime, which is useful for overriding handlers in specific tests. Finally, we start the MSW worker, which begins intercepting network requests according to the predefined handlers.

Overriding Handlers for Single Tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In some cases, we might want to override the default handlers for a single test. We can do this by accessing the `worker` object on the `window` object and calling its `use` method with a new handler.
