| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Guidelines |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- Always use functional components with hooks - class components are legacy |
| 33 | +- Leverage React 19.2 features: `<Activity>`, `useEffectEvent()`, Performance Tracks |
| 34 | +- Use the `use()` hook for promise handling and async data fetching |
| 35 | +- Implement forms with Actions API and `useFormStatus` for loading states |
| 36 | +- Use `useOptimistic` for optimistic UI updates during async operations |
| 37 | +- Use `useActionState` for managing action state and form submissions |
| 38 | +- Leverage `useEffectEvent()` to extract non-reactive logic from effects (React 19.2) |
| 39 | +- Use `<Activity>` component to manage UI visibility and state preservation (React 19.2) |
| 40 | +- **Ref as Prop** (React 19): Pass `ref` directly as prop - no need for `forwardRef` anymore |
| 41 | +- **Context without Provider** (React 19): Render context directly instead of `Context.Provider` |
| 42 | +- Use `startTransition` for non-urgent updates to keep the UI responsive |
| 43 | +- Leverage Suspense boundaries for async data fetching and code splitting |
| 44 | +- No need to import React in every file - new JSX transform handles it |
| 45 | +- Use strict TypeScript with proper interface design and discriminated unions |
| 46 | +- Implement proper error boundaries for graceful error handling |
| 47 | +- Use semantic HTML elements (`<button>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`, etc.) for accessibility |
| 48 | +- Ensure all interactive elements are keyboard accessible |
| 49 | +- Optimize images with lazy loading and modern formats (WebP, AVIF) |
| 50 | +- Use React DevTools Performance panel with React 19.2 Performance Tracks |
| 51 | +- Implement code splitting with `React.lazy()` and dynamic imports |
| 52 | +- Use proper dependency arrays in `useEffect`, `useMemo`, and `useCallback` |
| 53 | +- Ref callbacks can now return cleanup functions for easier cleanup management |
| 54 | +- Use Vite's `import.meta.env` for environment variables |
| 55 | + |
