Feature: Implement the signUp page

[EddyShimwa]

Description:

This issue aims to implement a fully functional signup page for our application and integrate the necessary APIs to handle user registration. The signup page will allow new users to create an account by providing their details, which will be validated and then submitted to our backend for processing. The signup page should be user-friendly, responsive, and secure.

Acceptance Criteria:

UI Design:

• The signup page should follow the provided design mockups and adhere to our application's UI/UX guidelines.
• The page should be responsive and work seamlessly on different devices and screen sizes.
• Include form fields for necessary user details: Username, Email, Password, Confirm Password, etc.

Form Validation:

• Implement client-side validation for all form fields.
• Ensure that the password meets the security criteria (e.g., minimum length, inclusion of special characters, etc.).
• Validate email format and check for the uniqueness of the username and email.

API Integration:

• Integrate the signup form with the backend API for user registration.
• Handle API responses to provide appropriate feedback to the user (e.g., success message, error messages for validation failures, network issues, etc.).
• Implement loading states and disable the submit button while the API call is in progress.

Write unit tests for form validation functions.

• Implement integration tests to ensure the signup flow works correctly with the backend API.
• Perform cross-browser testing to ensure compatibility with all major browsers.
