\nReact Patterns
\n\nPrinciples for building production-ready React applications.
\n
\n
\n1. Component Design Principles
\nComponent Types
\n\n\n\n| Type | \nUse | \nState | \n
\n\n\n\n| Server | \nData fetching, static | \nNone | \n
\n\n| Client | \nInteractivity | \nuseState, effects | \n
\n\n| Presentational | \nUI display | \nProps only | \n
\n\n| Container | \nLogic/state | \nHeavy state | \n
\n\n
\nDesign Rules
\n\n- One responsibility per component
\n- Props down, events up
\n- Composition over inheritance
\n- Prefer small, focused components
\n
\n
\n2. Hook Patterns
\nWhen to Extract Hooks
\n\n\n\n| Pattern | \nExtract When | \n
\n\n\n\n| useLocalStorage | \nSame storage logic needed | \n
\n\n| useDebounce | \nMultiple debounced values | \n
\n\n| useFetch | \nRepeated fetch patterns | \n
\n\n| useForm | \nComplex form state | \n
\n\n
\nHook Rules
\n\n- Hooks at top level only
\n- Same order every render
\n- Custom hooks start with \"use\"
\n- Clean up effects on unmount
\n
\n
\n3. State Management Selection
\n\n\n\n| Complexity | \nSolution | \n
\n\n\n\n| Simple | \nuseState, useReducer | \n
\n\n| Shared local | \nContext | \n
\n\n| Server state | \nReact Query, SWR | \n
\n\n| Complex global | \nZustand, Redux Toolkit | \n
\n\n
\nState Placement
\n\n\n\n| Scope | \nWhere | \n
\n\n\n\n| Single component | \nuseState | \n
\n\n| Parent-child | \nLift state up | \n
\n\n| Subtree | \nContext | \n
\n\n| App-wide | \nGlobal store | \n
\n\n
\n
\n4. React 19 Patterns
\nNew Hooks
\n\n\n\n| Hook | \nPurpose | \n
\n\n\n\n| useActionState | \nForm submission state | \n
\n\n| useOptimistic | \nOptimistic UI updates | \n
\n\n| use | \nRead resources in render | \n
\n\n
\nCompiler Benefits
\n\n- Automatic memoization
\n- Less manual useMemo/useCallback
\n- Focus on pure components
\n
\n
\n5. Composition Patterns
\nCompound Components
\n\n- Parent provides context
\n- Children consume context
\n- Flexible slot-based composition
\n- Example: Tabs, Accordion, Dropdown
\n
\nRender Props vs Hooks
\n\n\n\n| Use Case | \nPrefer | \n
\n\n\n\n| Reusable logic | \nCustom hook | \n
\n\n| Render flexibility | \nRender props | \n
\n\n| Cross-cutting | \nHigher-order component | \n
\n\n
\n
\n6. Performance Principles
\nWhen to Optimize
\n\n\n\n| Signal | \nAction | \n
\n\n\n\n| Slow renders | \nProfile first | \n
\n\n| Large lists | \nVirtualize | \n
\n\n| Expensive calc | \nuseMemo | \n
\n\n| Stable callbacks | \nuseCallback | \n
\n\n
\nOptimization Order
\n\n- Check if actually slow
\n- Profile with DevTools
\n- Identify bottleneck
\n- Apply targeted fix
\n
\n
\n7. Error Handling
\nError Boundary Usage
\n\n\n\n| Scope | \nPlacement | \n
\n\n\n\n| App-wide | \nRoot level | \n
\n\n| Feature | \nRoute/feature level | \n
\n\n| Component | \nAround risky component | \n
\n\n
\nError Recovery
\n\n- Show fallback UI
\n- Log error
\n- Offer retry option
\n- Preserve user data
\n
\n
\n8. TypeScript Patterns
\nProps Typing
\n\n\n\n| Pattern | \nUse | \n
\n\n\n\n| Interface | \nComponent props | \n
\n\n| Type | \nUnions, complex | \n
\n\n| Generic | \nReusable components | \n
\n\n
\nCommon Types
\n\n\n\n| Need | \nType | \n
\n\n\n\n| Children | \nReactNode | \n
\n\n| Event handler | \nMouseEventHandler | \n
\n\n| Ref | \nRefObject | \n
\n\n
\n
\n9. Testing Principles
\n\n\n\n| Level | \nFocus | \n
\n\n\n\n| Unit | \nPure functions, hooks | \n
\n\n| Integration | \nComponent behavior | \n
\n\n| E2E | \nUser flows | \n
\n\n
\nTest Priorities
\n\n- User-visible behavior
\n- Edge cases
\n- Error states
\n- Accessibility
\n
\n
\n10. Anti-Patterns
\n\n\n\n| ❌ Don't | \n✅ Do | \n
\n\n\n\n| Prop drilling deep | \nUse context | \n
\n\n| Giant components | \nSplit smaller | \n
\n\n| useEffect for everything | \nServer components | \n
\n\n| Premature optimization | \nProfile first | \n
\n\n| Index as key | \nStable unique ID | \n
\n\n
\n
\n11. File Structure
\n![\"image\"](\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/10369698-472c-4695-a494-2c0672103aa1\")
\nUse this image as a reference for a better file structure of the project
\n
\n\nRemember: React is about composition. Build small, combine thoughtfully.
\n
\nWhen to Use
\nThis skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
\nLimitations
\n\n- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
\n- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
\n- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
