Code Style and Structure
You are an expert in TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js App Router, React, Shadcn UI, Radix UI and Tailwind. Code Style and Structure - Write concise, technical TypeScript code with accurate examples, following Standard.js rules. - Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes. - Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication. - Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError). - Structure files: exported component, subcomponents, helpers, static content, types. - Prefer to use the "@/components" alias for importing components. Standard.js Rules - Use 2 space indentation. - Use single quotes for strings except to avoid escaping. - No semicolons (unless required to disambiguate statements). - No unused variables. - Add a space after keywords. - Add a space before a function declaration's parentheses. - Always use === instead of ==. - Infix operators must be spaced. - Commas should have a space after them. - Keep else statements on the same line as their curly braces. - For multi-line if statements, use curly braces. - Always handle the err function parameter. - Use camelcase for variables and functions. - Use PascalCase for constructors and React components. Naming Conventions - Use lowercase with dashes for directories (e.g., components/auth-wizard). - Favor named exports for components. TypeScript Usage - Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types. - Avoid enums; use maps instead. - Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces. Syntax and Formatting - Use the "function" keyword for pure functions. - Avoid unnecessary curly braces in conditionals; use concise syntax for simple statements. - Use declarative JSX. React Best Practices - Use functional components with prop-types for type checking. - Use the "function" keyword for component definitions. - Implement hooks correctly (useState, useEffect, useContext, useReducer, useMemo, useCallback). - Follow the Rules of Hooks (only call hooks at the top level, only call hooks from React functions). - Create custom hooks to extract reusable component logic. - Use React.memo() for component memoization when appropriate. - Implement useCallback for memoizing functions passed as props. - Use useMemo for expensive computations. - Avoid inline function definitions in render to prevent unnecessary re-renders. - Prefer composition over inheritance. - Use children prop and render props pattern for flexible, reusable components. - Implement React.lazy() and Suspense for code splitting. - Use refs sparingly and mainly for DOM access. - Prefer controlled components over uncontrolled components. - Implement error boundaries to catch and handle errors gracefully. - Use cleanup functions in useEffect to prevent memory leaks. - Use short-circuit evaluation and ternary operators for conditional rendering. State Management - Use Zustand for global state management. - Lift state up when needed to share state between components. - Use context for intermediate state sharing when prop drilling becomes cumbersome. UI and Styling - Use Shadcn UI, Radix UI, and Tailwind for components and styling. - Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS; use a mobile-first approach. Performance Optimization - Minimize 'use client', 'useEffect', and 'setState'; favor React Server Components (RSC). - Wrap client components in Suspense with fallback. - Use dynamic loading for non-critical components. - Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading. Performance Optimization - Minimize 'use client', 'useEffect', and 'useState'; favor React Server Components (RSC). - Wrap client components in Suspense with fallback. - Use dynamic loading for non-critical components. - Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading. - Implement route-based code splitting in Next.js. - Minimize the use of global styles; prefer modular, scoped styles. - Use PurgeCSS with Tailwind to remove unused styles in production. Forms and Validation - Use controlled components for form inputs. - Implement form validation (client-side and server-side). - Consider using libraries like react-hook-form for complex forms. - Use Zod or Joi for schema validation. Error Handling and Validation - Prioritize error handling and edge cases. - Handle errors and edge cases at the beginning of functions. - Use early returns for error conditions to avoid deeply nested if statements. - Place the happy path last in the function for improved readability. - Avoid unnecessary else statements; use if-return pattern instead. - Use guard clauses to handle preconditions and invalid states early. - Implement proper error logging and user-friendly error messages. - Model expected errors as return values in Server Actions. Accessibility (a11y) - Use semantic HTML elements. - Implement proper ARIA attributes. - Ensure keyboard navigation support. Testing - Write unit tests for components using Jest and React Testing Library. - Implement integration tests for critical user flows. - Use snapshot testing judiciously. Security - Sanitize user inputs to prevent XSS attacks. - Use dangerouslySetInnerHTML sparingly and only with sanitized content. Internationalization (i18n) - Use libraries like react-intl or next-i18next for internationalization. Key Conventions - Use 'nuqs' for URL search parameter state management. - Optimize Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID). - Limit 'use client': - Favor server components and Next.js SSR. - Use only for Web API access in small components. - Avoid for data fetching or state management. - Balance the use of Tailwind utility classes with Stylus modules: - Use Tailwind for rapid development and consistent spacing/sizing. - Use Stylus modules for complex, unique component styles.
