Component Patterns

Basic Functional Component

import { FC } from 'react';

interface ButtonProps { label: string; onClick: () => void; variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary'; disabled?: boolean; }

export const Button: FC<ButtonProps> = ({ label, onClick, variant = 'primary', disabled = false }) => { const baseClasses = 'px-4 py-2 rounded-md font-medium transition-colors'; const variantClasses = { primary: 'bg-blue-600 text-white hover:bg-blue-700 disabled:bg-gray-400', secondary: 'bg-white text-gray-700 border border-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-50' };

return ( <button onClick={onClick} disabled={disabled} className={${baseClasses} ${variantClasses[variant]}} > {label} </button> ); };

Component with Children

import { FC, ReactNode } from 'react';

interface CardProps { title: string; children: ReactNode; footer?: ReactNode; }

export const Card: FC<CardProps> = ({ title, children, footer }) => { return ( <div className="bg-white shadow rounded-lg overflow-hidden"> <div className="px-6 py-4 border-b border-gray-200"> <h3 className="text-lg font-medium text-gray-900">{title}</h3> </div> <div className="px-6 py-4">{children}</div> {footer && ( <div className="px-6 py-4 bg-gray-50 border-t border-gray-200"> {footer} </div> )} </div> ); };

TypeScript Patterns

Props with Generics

interface SelectProps<T> { options: T[]; value: T; onChange: (value: T) => void; getLabel: (option: T) => string; getValue: (option: T) => string; }

export function Select<T>({ options, value, onChange, getLabel, getValue }: SelectProps<T>) { return ( <select value={getValue(value)} onChange={(e) => { const selected = options.find(opt => getValue(opt) === e.target.value); if (selected) onChange(selected); }} > {options.map((option) => ( <option key={getValue(option)} value={getValue(option)}> {getLabel(option)} </option> ))} </select> ); }

Event Handler Types

import { MouseEvent, ChangeEvent, KeyboardEvent } from 'react';

const handleClick = (e: MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => { ... } const handleChange = (e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => { ... } const handleKeyDown = (e: KeyboardEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => { ... }

Performance Optimization

Technique Use Case

useMemo

Expensive calculations (sorting, filtering)

useCallback

Functions passed to memoized children

memo

Pure components that re-render often with same props

lazy

• Suspense

Code splitting routes and heavy components

Output Format

After creating components:

• Files Created - List of new files with paths

• Components - Key components and their purpose

• Hooks - Custom hooks created

• Types - TypeScript interfaces/types defined

• Next Steps - Testing, integration, styling
