Component Development Skill

Production-tested patterns for building professional React/Vue/Svelte components

This skill codifies best practices from thousands of production component implementations across modern frontend frameworks.

Core Principles

Type Safety First: All components strongly typed with TypeScript
Accessibility by Default: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is mandatory
Performance Matters: Optimize render cycles and bundle size
Test Everything: 80%+ coverage with meaningful tests
Document Clearly: Code should be self-documenting with helpful comments

Component Architecture Patterns

Single Responsibility Principle

Each component should do ONE thing well:

// ❌ BAD: Component does too much
function UserDashboard() {
  // Handles auth, fetches data, renders UI, manages state, etc.
}

// ✅ GOOD: Split responsibilities
function UserDashboard() {
  return (
    <DashboardLayout>
      <UserProfile />
      <UserStats />
      <UserActivity />
    </DashboardLayout>
  );
}

Container vs Presentational Pattern

Container Components (Smart):

Handle business logic
Manage state
Fetch data
Connect to stores

// containers/UserProfileContainer.tsx
export function UserProfileContainer() {
  const user = useUserStore(selectUser);
  const updateUser = useUserStore((state) => state.updateUser);

  return <UserProfile user={user} onUpdate={updateUser} />;
}

Presentational Components (Dumb):

Receive data via props
Render UI
No state management
Highly reusable

// components/UserProfile.tsx
interface UserProfileProps {
  user: User;
  onUpdate: (user: User) => void;
}

export function UserProfile({ user, onUpdate }: UserProfileProps) {
  return <div>{user.name}</div>;
}

Compound Components Pattern

For complex, related components:

// components/Tabs/Tabs.tsx
export function Tabs({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState(0);

  return (
    <TabsContext.Provider value={{ activeTab, setActiveTab }}>
      <div className={styles.tabs}>{children}</div>
    </TabsContext.Provider>
  );
}

Tabs.List = TabsList;
Tabs.Tab = Tab;
Tabs.Panel = TabPanel;

// Usage
<Tabs>
  <Tabs.List>
    <Tabs.Tab>Tab 1</Tabs.Tab>
    <Tabs.Tab>Tab 2</Tabs.Tab>
  </Tabs.List>
  <Tabs.Panel>Content 1</Tabs.Panel>
  <Tabs.Panel>Content 2</Tabs.Panel>
</Tabs>

React Component Template (TypeScript)

import React, { useState, useEffect, useCallback, useMemo } from 'react';
import styles from './ComponentName.module.css';

/**
 * Props interface with full documentation
 */
export interface ComponentNameProps {
  /**
   * Required prop description
   */
  requiredProp: string;

  /**
   * Optional prop with default value
   * @default false
   */
  optionalProp?: boolean;

  /**
   * Event handler for user action
   */
  onAction?: (data: ActionData) => void;

  /**
   * Child elements
   */
  children?: React.ReactNode;

  /**
   * Additional CSS classes
   */
  className?: string;

  /**
   * ARIA label for accessibility
   */
  ariaLabel?: string;
}

/**
 * ComponentName - Brief one-line description
 *
 * Longer description explaining what this component does,
 * when to use it, and any important considerations.
 *
 * @example
 * ```tsx
 * <ComponentName
 *   requiredProp="value"
 *   onAction={(data) => console.log(data)}
 * >
 *   Child content
 * </ComponentName>
 * ```
 */
export const ComponentName = React.forwardRef<
  HTMLDivElement,
  ComponentNameProps
>(
  (
    {
      requiredProp,
      optionalProp = false,
      onAction,
      children,
      className,
      ariaLabel,
    },
    ref
  ) => {
    // State
    const [localState, setLocalState] = useState<string>('');

    // Memoized values (expensive calculations)
    const computedValue = useMemo(() => {
      return expensiveCalculation(requiredProp);
    }, [requiredProp]);

    // Callbacks (prevent re-creating on every render)
    const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
      if (onAction) {
        onAction({ data: 'value' });
      }
    }, [onAction]);

    // Effects
    useEffect(() => {
      // Setup
      const cleanup = setupSomething();

      // Cleanup
      return () => {
        cleanup();
      };
    }, [requiredProp]);

    // Render
    return (
      <div
        ref={ref}
        className={`${styles.container} ${className || ''}`}
        role="region"
        aria-label={ariaLabel || 'Component description'}
      >
        <h2 className={styles.title}>{requiredProp}</h2>
        {optionalProp && <div className={styles.optional}>Optional content</div>}
        <button
          className={styles.button}
          onClick={handleClick}
          aria-label="Action button"
        >
          Click me
        </button>
        {children}
      </div>
    );
  }
);

ComponentName.displayName = 'ComponentName';

export default ComponentName;

Vue 3 Component Template (Composition API + TypeScript)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, computed, watch, onMounted, onUnmounted } from 'vue';

/**
 * Props interface
 */
export interface Props {
  /**
   * Required prop description

  requiredProp: string;

  /**
   * Optional prop with default
   */
  optionalProp?: boolean;
}

// Props with defaults
const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), {
  optionalProp: false,
});

// Emits
const emit = defineEmits<{
  action: [data: ActionData];
  update: [value: string];
}>();

// State
const localState = ref<string>('');
const isActive = ref<boolean>(false);

// Computed
const computedValue = computed(() => {
  return expensiveCalculation(props.requiredProp);
});

// Methods
function handleClick() {
  emit('action', { data: 'value' });
}

// Watch
watch(
  () => props.requiredProp,
  (newValue, oldValue) => {

// Lifecycle
onMounted(() => {

  // Props
  export let requiredProp: string;
  export let optionalProp: boolean = false;

  .component-name__button:focus {
    outline: 2px solid var(--focus-color);

Performance Optimization Patterns

1. Memoization (React)

// useMemo for expensive calculations
const expensiveValue = useMemo(() => {
  return items.filter(item => item.active).map(item => item.value);
}, [items]);

// useCallback for functions passed as props
const handleClick = useCallback((id: string) => {
  dispatch(deleteItem(id));
}, [dispatch]);

// React.memo for component memoization
export const ExpensiveComponent = React.memo(({ data }: Props) => {
  return <div>{/* Expensive render */}</div>;
});

// Custom comparison function for React.memo
export const Component = React.memo(
  ({ data }: Props) => <div>{data.name}</div>,
  (prevProps, nextProps) => {
    // Return true if props are equal (skip re-render)
    return prevProps.data.id === nextProps.data.id;
  }
);

2. Code Splitting and Lazy Loading

// Lazy load heavy components
const HeavyChart = React.lazy(() => import('./HeavyChart'));
const AdminPanel = React.lazy(() => import('./AdminPanel'));

function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Spinner />}>
      <HeavyChart data={data} />
    </Suspense>
  );
}

// Lazy load on interaction
function App() {
  const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => setShowModal(true)}>Open Modal</button>
      {showModal && (
        <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
          <Modal onClose={() => setShowModal(false)} />
        </Suspense>
      )}
    </>
  );
}

3. Virtualization for Long Lists

import { FixedSizeList } from 'react-window';

function LongList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
  const Row = ({ index, style }: { index: number; style: React.CSSProperties }) => (
    <div style={style}>
      <ItemComponent item={items[index]} />
    </div>
  );

  return (
    <FixedSizeList
      height={600}
      itemCount={items.length}
      itemSize={50}
      width="100%"
    >
      {Row}
    </FixedSizeList>
  );
}

4. Debouncing and Throttling

import { useDebouncedCallback } from 'use-debounce';

function SearchInput() {
  const [search, setSearch] = useState('');

  // Debounce search (wait 300ms after user stops typing)
  const debouncedSearch = useDebouncedCallback(
    (value: string) => {
      performSearch(value);
    },
    300
  );

  const handleChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    const value = e.target.value;
    setSearch(value);
    debouncedSearch(value);
  };

  return <input value={search} onChange={handleChange} />;
}

Accessibility Patterns

Semantic HTML

// ✅ GOOD: Semantic HTML
<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

<main>
  <article>
    <header>
      <h1>Article Title</h1>
      <time dateTime="2025-01-20">January 20, 2025</time>
    </header>
    <p>Article content...</p>
  </article>
</main>

<footer>
  <p>&copy; 2025 Company</p>
</footer>

// ❌ BAD: Divs everywhere
<div className="nav">
  <div className="nav-list">
    <div className="nav-item"><div className="link">Home</div></div>
  </div>
</div>

ARIA Attributes

// Button (already accessible, no ARIA needed)
<button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</button>

// Custom button (needs ARIA)
<div
  role="button"
  tabIndex={0}
  onClick={handleClick}
  onKeyPress={(e) => e.key === 'Enter' && handleClick()}
  aria-label="Custom button"
>
  Click me
</div>

// Modal
<div
  role="dialog"
  aria-modal="true"
  aria-labelledby="modal-title"
  aria-describedby="modal-description"
>
  <h2 id="modal-title">Modal Title</h2>
  <p id="modal-description">Modal description</p>
</div>

// Loading state
<div role="status" aria-live="polite" aria-busy="true">
  Loading...
</div>

// Alert
<div role="alert" aria-live="assertive">
  Error: Something went wrong
</div>

function Dropdown() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
  const [focusedIndex, setFocusedIndex] = useState(0);

  const handleKeyDown = (e: React.KeyboardEvent) => {
    switch (e.key) {
      case 'Enter':
      case ' ':
        setIsOpen(!isOpen);
        break;
      case 'Escape':
        setIsOpen(false);
        break;
      case 'ArrowDown':
        e.preventDefault();
        setFocusedIndex((prev) => (prev + 1) % items.length);
        break;
      case 'ArrowUp':
        e.preventDefault();
        setFocusedIndex((prev) => (prev - 1 + items.length) % items.length);
        break;
    }
  };

  return (
    <div
      role="combobox"
      aria-expanded={isOpen}
      aria-haspopup="listbox"
      onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
    >
      {/* Dropdown content */}
    </div>
  );
}

Focus Management

function Modal({ isOpen, onClose }: ModalProps) {
  const modalRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const previousFocusRef = useRef<HTMLElement | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (isOpen) {
      // Store previously focused element
      previousFocusRef.current = document.activeElement as HTMLElement;

      // Focus modal
      modalRef.current?.focus();

      // Trap focus within modal
      const handleTab = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
        if (e.key === 'Tab') {
          const focusableElements = modalRef.current?.querySelectorAll(
            'button, [href], input, select, textarea, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])'
          );
          if (!focusableElements) return;

          const firstElement = focusableElements[0] as HTMLElement;
          const lastElement = focusableElements[focusableElements.length - 1] as HTMLElement;

          if (e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === firstElement) {
            e.preventDefault();
            lastElement.focus();
          } else if (!e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === lastElement) {
            e.preventDefault();
            firstElement.focus();
          }
        }
      };

      document.addEventListener('keydown', handleTab);

      return () => {
        document.removeEventListener('keydown', handleTab);

        // Restore focus
        previousFocusRef.current?.focus();
      };
    }
  }, [isOpen]);

  if (!isOpen) return null;

  return (
    <div
      ref={modalRef}
      role="dialog"
      aria-modal="true"
      tabIndex={-1}
    >
      {/* Modal content */}
      <button onClick={onClose}>Close</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Testing Patterns

Unit Tests (React Testing Library)

import { render, screen, fireEvent, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
import { ComponentName } from './ComponentName';

describe('ComponentName', () => {
  // Basic rendering
  it('renders correctly with required props', () => {
    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" />);
    expect(screen.getByText('test')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  // Props handling
  it('applies optional prop correctly', () => {
    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" optionalProp={true} />);
    expect(screen.getByText('Optional content')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  // Event handling
  it('calls onAction when button clicked', () => {
    const mockAction = jest.fn();
    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" onAction={mockAction} />);

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Action button' }));
    expect(mockAction).toHaveBeenCalledWith({ data: 'value' });
  });

  // Keyboard interaction
  it('handles keyboard navigation', async () => {
    const user = userEvent.setup();
    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" />);

    const button = screen.getByRole('button');
    await user.tab();
    expect(button).toHaveFocus();

    await user.keyboard('{Enter}');
    // Assert button action occurred
  });

  // Accessibility
  it('has correct ARIA attributes', () => {
    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" ariaLabel="Custom label" />);

    const region = screen.getByRole('region');
    expect(region).toHaveAttribute('aria-label', 'Custom label');
  });

  // Async behavior
  it('fetches data on mount', async () => {
    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" />);

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(screen.getByText('Loaded data')).toBeInTheDocument();
    });
  });

  // Error states
  it('displays error message on failure', async () => {
    // Mock fetch to return error
    global.fetch = jest.fn(() =>
      Promise.reject(new Error('Network error'))
    );

    render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" />);

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(screen.getByText(/error/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
    });
  });
});

Integration Tests

import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import { MemoryRouter, Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { UserProvider } from '@/contexts/UserContext';
import App from './App';

function renderWithProviders(ui: React.ReactElement, { initialRoute = '/' } = {}) {
  const queryClient = new QueryClient({
    defaultOptions: {
      queries: { retry: false },
    },
  });

  return render(
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <UserProvider>
        <MemoryRouter initialEntries={[initialRoute]}>
          <Routes>
            <Route path="*" element={ui} />
          </Routes>
        </MemoryRouter>
      </UserProvider>
    </QueryClientProvider>
  );
}

describe('App Integration', () => {
  it('renders dashboard for authenticated user', async () => {
    renderWithProviders(<App />, { initialRoute: '/dashboard' });

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(screen.getByText('Welcome back')).toBeInTheDocument();
    });
  });
});

Accessibility Tests

import { axe, toHaveNoViolations } from 'jest-axe';

expect.extend(toHaveNoViolations);

describe('ComponentName Accessibility', () => {
  it('should not have accessibility violations', async () => {
    const { container } = render(<ComponentName requiredProp="test" />);
    const results = await axe(container);
    expect(results).toHaveNoViolations();
  });
});

Error Handling Patterns

Error Boundaries (React)

import React, { Component, ErrorInfo, ReactNode } from 'react';

interface Props {
  children: ReactNode;
  fallback?: ReactNode;
}

interface State {
  hasError: boolean;
  error: Error | null;
}

export class ErrorBoundary extends Component<Props, State> {
  public state: State = {
    hasError: false,
    error: null,
  };

  public static getDerivedStateFromError(error: Error): State {
    return { hasError: true, error };
  }

  public componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo) {
    console.error('Error caught by boundary:', error, errorInfo);
    // Log to error reporting service
  }

  public render() {
    if (this.state.hasError) {
      return (
        this.props.fallback || (
          <div role="alert">
            <h2>Something went wrong</h2>
            <details>
              <summary>Error details</summary>
              <pre>{this.state.error?.message}</pre>
            </details>
          </div>
        )
      );
    }

    return this.props.children;
  }
}

// Usage
<ErrorBoundary>
  <MyComponent />
</ErrorBoundary>

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Props Drilling

// ❌ BAD: Passing props through many levels
<GrandParent data={data}>
  <Parent data={data}>
    <Child data={data}>
      <GrandChild data={data} />  {/* Only this needs it */}
    </Child>
  </Parent>
</GrandParent>

// ✅ GOOD: Use Context or state management
const DataContext = createContext(data);

<GrandParent>
  <DataContext.Provider value={data}>
    <Parent>
      <Child>
        <GrandChild />  {/* Uses useContext(DataContext) */}
      </Child>
    </Parent>
  </DataContext.Provider>
</GrandParent>

2. Inline Functions in JSX

// ❌ BAD: Creates new function on every render
<button onClick={() => handleClick(id)}>Click</button>

// ✅ GOOD: Use useCallback
const handleButtonClick = useCallback(() => {
  handleClick(id);
}, [id]);

<button onClick={handleButtonClick}>Click</button>

3. Missing Keys in Lists

// ❌ BAD: Using index as key (breaks on reorder)
{items.map((item, index) => <Item key={index} {...item} />)}

// ✅ GOOD: Use stable unique identifier
{items.map((item) => <Item key={item.id} {...item} />)}

4. Mutating State Directly

// ❌ BAD: Mutates state
const addItem = () => {
  items.push(newItem);
  setItems(items);
};

// ✅ GOOD: Creates new array
const addItem = () => {
  setItems([...items, newItem]);
};

MCP-Enhanced Development

Context7 MCP Integration

When Context7 MCP is available, access up-to-date documentation for React, Vue, Svelte, and their ecosystems:

// Runtime detection - no configuration needed
const hasContext7 = typeof mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id !== 'undefined' &&
                    typeof mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__get_library_docs !== 'undefined';

if (hasContext7) {
  console.log("✓ Using Context7 MCP for live framework documentation");

  // Get latest React documentation
  const reactLibrary = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id({
    libraryName: "react"
  });

  const reactDocs = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__get_library_docs({
    context7CompatibleLibraryID: reactLibrary.id,
    topic: "hooks",
    tokens: 5000
  });

  console.log("✓ Retrieved latest React documentation");
  // Use current API patterns from official docs
  // - Latest hooks patterns
  // - Current best practices
  // - Up-to-date TypeScript types
  // - Recent performance optimizations

  // Example: Get library-specific patterns
  const libraries = {
    stateManagement: ["zustand", "redux", "jotai"],
    styling: ["tailwindcss", "styled-components", "emotion"],
    forms: ["react-hook-form", "formik"],
    testing: ["vitest", "testing-library"]
  };

  // Fetch docs for specific library being used
  for (const lib of libraries.stateManagement) {
    const libDocs = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id({
      libraryName: lib
    });
    // Get latest patterns for that library
  }

  console.log("✓ All library documentation current and accurate");

} else {
  console.log("ℹ️  Context7 MCP not available");
  console.log("   Install for access to latest framework documentation:");
  console.log("   npm install -g @context7/mcp-server");
  console.log("   Using general knowledge from this skill");
  console.log("   Note: Patterns may not reflect latest framework versions");
}

Framework-Specific MCP Usage

React + Context7

// Get React 19 documentation (if available)
const react19 = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id({
  libraryName: "react@19"
});

const serverComponents = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__get_library_docs({
  context7CompatibleLibraryID: react19.id,
  topic: "server-components",
  tokens: 3000
});

// Use latest RSC patterns from official docs

Vue 3 + Context7

// Get Vue 3 composition API docs
const vue3 = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id({
  libraryName: "vue@3"
});

const compositionAPI = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__get_library_docs({
  context7CompatibleLibraryID: vue3.id,
  topic: "composition-api",
  tokens: 4000
});

// Use current Composition API patterns

Svelte + Context7

// Get SvelteKit documentation
const sveltekit = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id({
  libraryName: "sveltekit"
});

const routing = await mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__get_library_docs({
  context7CompatibleLibraryID: sveltekit.id,
  topic: "routing",
  tokens: 3000
});

// Use latest SvelteKit routing patterns

Combined Approach (Best Practice)

// 1. Use Context7 for framework-specific patterns
const hasMCP = typeof mcp__plugin_essentials_context7__resolve_library_id !== 'undefined';

if (hasMCP) {
  // Get latest framework docs for specific implementation
  const frameworkDocs = await getLatestDocs(framework);
}

// 2. Always apply universal patterns from this skill
// - Accessibility (WCAG doesn't change)
// - Performance principles (fundamentals are stable)
// - Component architecture (SRP, DRY, etc.)
// - TypeScript best practices (core principles)
// - Testing strategies (general approach)

// 3. Merge MCP docs with skill knowledge
// Result: Current framework APIs + proven patterns = production-ready component

Responsive Design Skill

Production-tested patterns for building responsive, performant, accessible web interfaces

This skill codifies best practices from thousands of production deployments covering responsive design, CSS architecture, and performance optimization.

Core Principles

Mobile-First Always: Start with mobile, enhance for larger screens
Performance Matters: Fast loading, smooth animations, minimal CSS
Accessibility Required: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for all visual elements
Progressive Enhancement: Core functionality works without JavaScript
Browser Compatibility: Works across modern browsers with graceful degradation

Mobile-First Responsive Design

The Mobile-First Approach

Always write base styles for mobile, then use min-width media queries to enhance for larger screens:

/* ✅ GOOD: Mobile-first approach */
.container {
  /* Mobile styles (default, no media query needed) */
  padding: 1rem;
  font-size: 1rem;
}

/* Tablet enhancement */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .container {
    padding: 2rem;
    font-size: 1.125rem;
  }
}

/* Desktop enhancement */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .container {
    padding: 3rem;
    font-size: 1.25rem;
  }
}

/* ❌ BAD: Desktop-first (requires overriding) */
.container {
  padding: 3rem;  /* Desktop default */
}

@media (max-width: 1023px) {
  .container {
    padding: 2rem;  /* Override for tablet */
  }
}

@media (max-width: 767px) {
  .container {
    padding: 1rem;  /* Override again for mobile */
  }
}

Standard Breakpoints

/* Mobile: Base styles (no media query) */
/* Covers: 320px - 767px */

/* Small devices (landscape phones) */
@media (min-width: 640px) {
  /* 640px - 767px */
}

/* Tablet */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  /* 768px - 1023px */
}

/* Desktop */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  /* 1024px - 1279px */
}

/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1280px) {
  /* 1280px - 1535px */
}

/* Extra large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1536px) {
  /* 1536px+ */
}

Tailwind CSS Breakpoints

<div className="
  w-full px-4 py-4           {/* Mobile default */}
  sm:px-6 sm:py-6            {/* 640px+ */}
  md:max-w-3xl md:mx-auto    {/* 768px+ */}
  lg:max-w-5xl lg:px-12      {/* 1024px+ */}
  xl:max-w-7xl               {/* 1280px+ */}
  2xl:max-w-screen-2xl       {/* 1536px+ */}
">
  Content
</div>

Responsive Layout Patterns

Flexbox Layouts

/* Responsive navigation */
.nav {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;  /* Mobile: Stack vertically */
  gap: 1rem;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .nav {
    flex-direction: row;  /* Tablet+: Horizontal */
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
  }
}

/* Responsive card grid */
.card-grid {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;  /* Mobile: Single column */
  gap: 1.5rem;
}

@media (min-width: 640px) {
  .card-grid {
    flex-direction: row;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
  }

  .card {
    flex: 0 0 calc(50% - 0.75rem);  /* 2 columns */
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .card {
    flex: 0 0 calc(33.333% - 1rem);  /* 3 columns */
  }
}

CSS Grid Layouts

/* Responsive grid with auto-fit */
.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;  /* Mobile: 1 column */
  gap: 1.5rem;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);  /* Tablet: 2 columns */
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);  /* Desktop: 3 columns */
  }
}

/* Advanced: Auto-responsive grid (no media queries!) */
.auto-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(min(300px, 100%), 1fr));
  gap: 1.5rem;
}
/* This automatically adjusts columns based on container width */

/* Holy Grail Layout */
.layout {
  display: grid;
  min-height: 100vh;
  grid-template-areas:
    "header"
    "main"
    "sidebar"
    "footer";
  grid-template-rows: auto 1fr auto auto;
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .layout {
    grid-template-areas:
      "header header header"
      "sidebar main ads"
      "footer footer footer";
    grid-template-columns: 250px 1fr 200px;
    grid-template-rows: auto 1fr auto;
  }
}

.header { grid-area: header; }
.main { grid-area: main; }
.sidebar { grid-area: sidebar; }
.footer { grid-area: footer; }

Container Queries (Modern Approach)

/* Component responds to container size, not viewport */
.card-container {
  container-type: inline-size;
  container-name: card;
}

.card {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

/* When container > 400px, switch to row layout */
@container card (min-width: 400px) {
  .card {
    flex-direction: row;
  }
}

/* Works regardless of viewport size! */

Responsive Typography

/* Fluid typography using clamp() */
.heading-1 {
  /* min: 2rem (32px), preferred: 5vw, max: 4rem (64px) */
  font-size: clamp(2rem, 5vw, 4rem);
  line-height: 1.2;
}

.heading-2 {
  font-size: clamp(1.5rem, 4vw, 3rem);
  line-height: 1.3;
}

.body {
  font-size: clamp(1rem, 2vw, 1.125rem);
  line-height: 1.6;
}

/* Alternative: Responsive font sizes with media queries */
.title {
  font-size: 1.5rem;  /* Mobile: 24px */
  line-height: 1.4;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 2rem;  /* Tablet: 32px */
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 2.5rem;  /* Desktop: 40px */
  }
}

/* Reading width: Optimal line length for readability */
.content {
  max-width: 65ch;  /* ~65 characters per line */
  margin-inline: auto;
}

Responsive Images

<!-- Responsive image with srcset -->
<img
  src="image-800.jpg"
  srcset="
    image-400.jpg 400w,

}

/* Background images */
.hero-bg {
  background-image: url('hero-mobile.jpg');
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  min-height: 50vh;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .hero-bg {
    background-image: url('hero-tablet.jpg');
    min-height: 60vh;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .hero-bg {
    background-image: url('hero-desktop.jpg');
    min-height: 80vh;
  }
}

/* High DPI displays */
@media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), (min-resolution: 192dpi) {
  .logo {
    background-image: url('logo@2x.png');
    background-size: contain;
  }
}

CSS Architecture Patterns

CSS Modules (Recommended)

/* Button.module.css */
.button {
  padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 0.25rem;
  font-weight: 500;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: background-color 0.2s ease;
}

.primary {
  background-color: var(--color-primary);
  color: white;
}

.primary:hover {
  background-color: var(--color-primary-dark);
}

.secondary {
  background-color: transparent;
  color: var(--color-primary);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-primary);
}

/* Responsive adjustments */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .button {
    padding: 0.75rem 1.5rem;
    font-size: 1.125rem;
  }
}

// Button.tsx
import styles from './Button.module.css';

export function Button({ variant = 'primary', children }) {
  return (
    <button className={`${styles.button} ${styles[variant]}`}>
      {children}
    </button>
  );
}

CSS Custom Properties (Variables)

:root {
  /* Colors */
  --color-primary: #0066cc;
  --color-primary-dark: #0052a3;
  --color-text: #1a1a1a;
  --color-bg: #ffffff;

  /* Spacing scale */
  --space-xs: 0.25rem;
  --space-sm: 0.5rem;
  --space-md: 1rem;
  --space-lg: 1.5rem;
  --space-xl: 2rem;
  --space-2xl: 3rem;

  /* Font sizes */
  --font-xs: 0.75rem;
  --font-sm: 0.875rem;

  --font-lg: 1.125rem;
  --font-xl: 1.25rem;
  --font-2xl: 1.5rem;
  --font-3xl: 2rem;

  /* Breakpoints (for JS) */
  --breakpoint-sm: 640px;
  --breakpoint-md: 768px;
  --breakpoint-lg: 1024px;
  --breakpoint-xl: 1280px;
}

/* Dark mode */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    --color-text: #ffffff;
    --color-bg: #1a1a1a;
    --color-border: #333333;
  }
}

/* Usage */
.component {
  color: var(--color-text);
  background: var(--color-bg);
  padding: var(--space-md);
  font-size: var(--font-base);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-border);
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .component {
    padding: var(--space-lg);
    font-size: var(--font-lg);
  }
}

BEM Naming Convention

/* Block */
.card {
  padding: 1rem;
  border: 1px solid var(--border-color);
}

/* Element */
.card__header {
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border-color);
}

.card__title {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  font-weight: bold;
}

.card__body {
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

.card__footer {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  gap: 0.5rem;
}

/* Modifier */
.card--featured {
  border-color: var(--primary-color);
  box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.card--compact {
  padding: 0.5rem;
}

/* Responsive modifiers */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .card--horizontal {
    display: flex;
  }

  .card--horizontal .card__header {
    flex: 0 0 200px;
    border-bottom: none;
    border-right: 1px solid var(--border-color);
  }
}

Performance Optimization

Critical CSS

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <!-- Inline critical CSS (above-the-fold styles) -->
  <style>
    /* Critical styles for initial render */
    body {
      margin: 0;
      font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif;
      line-height: 1.6;
    }

    .header {
      background: #0066cc;
      color: white;
      padding: 1rem;
    }

    /* ... other critical styles ... */
  </style>

  <!-- Preload non-critical CSS -->
  <link
    rel="preload"
    href="/styles.css"
    as="style"
    onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'"
  />
  <noscript>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/styles.css" />
  </noscript>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- Content -->
</body>
</html>

CSS Code Splitting

// Lazy load component with its styles
const HeavyComponent = lazy(() => import('./HeavyComponent'));

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Spinner />}>
      <HeavyComponent />
    </Suspense>
  );
}

PurgeCSS / Tree Shaking

// postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss'),
    require('autoprefixer'),
    process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' &&
      require('@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss')({
        content: ['./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}', './public/index.html'],
        defaultExtractor: (content) => content.match(/[\w-/:]+(?<!:)/g) || [],
      }),
  ],
};

CSS Optimization Checklist

Minify CSS files
Remove unused CSS (PurgeCSS)
Combine similar rules
Use CSS containment (contain property)
Optimize font loading
Enable Brotli/Gzip compression
Use CSS custom properties instead of Sass variables (runtime flexibility)
Avoid @import (use bundler imports)
Use will-change sparingly (only for animations)
Avoid universal selectors (*)

Animation Best Practices

60fps Animations (GPU-Accelerated)

/* ✅ GOOD: Only animate transform and opacity */
.smooth {
  transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease;
  /* GPU-accelerated properties only */
}

.smooth:hover {
  transform: scale(1.05);
  opacity: 0.9;
}

/* ❌ BAD: Animating layout properties (causes reflow) */
.laggy {
  transition: width 0.3s ease, height 0.3s ease;
}

.laggy:hover {
  width: 200px;  /* Triggers layout recalculation */
  height: 200px;
}

/* Use will-change for complex animations (sparingly!) */
.complex-animation {
  will-change: transform, opacity;
  animation: slide-in 0.5s ease;
}

@keyframes slide-in {
  from {
    transform: translateX(-100%);
    opacity: 0;
  }
  to {
    transform: translateX(0);
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

/* Remove will-change after animation */
.complex-animation.animation-done {
  will-change: auto;
}

Reduced Motion Support

/* Respect user preference for reduced motion */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  *,
  *::before,
  *::after {
    animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
    transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    scroll-behavior: auto !important;
  }
}

/* Alternative: Disable specific animations */
.fade-in {
  animation: fade-in 0.5s ease;
}

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .fade-in {
    animation: none;
    opacity: 1;  /* End state */
  }
}

Dark Mode Implementation

System Preference

/* Light mode (default) */
:root {
  --bg: #ffffff;
  --text: #1a1a1a;
  --border: #e5e5e5;
  --primary: #0066cc;
}

/* Dark mode */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    --bg: #1a1a1a;
    --text: #ffffff;
    --border: #333333;
    --primary: #3399ff;
  }
}

/* Usage */
body {
  background: var(--bg);
  color: var(--text);
}

Manual Toggle

/* Light mode (default) */
:root {
  --bg: #ffffff;
  --text: #1a1a1a;
}

/* Dark mode via class */
.dark {
  --bg: #1a1a1a;

// React implementation
function ThemeToggle() {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState<'light' | 'dark'>('light');

  useEffect(() => {

Accessibility Considerations

Color Contrast

/* Minimum contrast ratios (WCAG AA) */
/* Normal text: 4.5:1 */
/* Large text (18pt+): 3:1 */
/* UI components: 3:1 */

/* ✅ GOOD: Sufficient contrast */
.text {
  color: #1a1a1a;  /* Contrast: 19:1 on white */
  background: #ffffff;
}

/* ❌ BAD: Insufficient contrast */
.low-contrast {
  color: #999999;  /* Contrast: 2.8:1 - fails WCAG AA */
  background: #ffffff;
}

/* Tool to check: WebAIM Contrast Checker */
/* https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ */

Focus Indicators

/* ✅ GOOD: Visible focus indicator */
button:focus,
a:focus,
input:focus {
  outline: 2px solid var(--primary);
  outline-offset: 2px;
}

/* Custom focus style */
.custom-focus:focus {
  outline: none;  /* Remove default */
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(0, 102, 204, 0.5);
}

/* ❌ NEVER do this (removes focus for keyboard users) */
/* *:focus {
  outline: none;
} */

/* :focus-visible for mouse vs keyboard */
button:focus-visible {
  outline: 2px solid var(--primary);
}

/* No outline when clicked with mouse */
button:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
  outline: none;
}

Responsive Text Sizing

/* Never use fixed pixel sizes smaller than 16px */
.body {
  font-size: 1rem;  /* 16px minimum */
}

/* Allow text to scale with user preferences */
html {
  font-size: 100%;  /* Respect browser default (usually 16px) */
}

/* Use rem for scalable sizing */
.heading {
  font-size: 2rem;  /* Scales with root font size */
}

/* User can zoom to 200% without horizontal scroll */
.container {
  max-width: 100%;
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

Touch Targets

/* Minimum touch target: 44x44 pixels (WCAG AAA) */
.button {
  min-width: 44px;
  min-height: 44px;
  padding: 0.75rem 1rem;  /* Generous padding */
}

/* Spacing between touch targets */
.nav-list {
  display: flex;
  gap: 0.5rem;  /* Minimum 8px gap */
}

/* Increase touch targets on mobile */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
  .button {
    min-height: 48px;
    padding: 1rem 1.5rem;
  }
}

Utility Classes Pattern

/* Spacing utilities */
.m-0 { margin: 0; }
.m-1 { margin: 0.25rem; }
.m-2 { margin: 0.5rem; }
.m-4 { margin: 1rem; }
.m-8 { margin: 2rem; }

.mt-4 { margin-top: 1rem; }
.mr-4 { margin-right: 1rem; }
.mb-4 { margin-bottom: 1rem; }
.ml-4 { margin-left: 1rem; }

/* Display utilities */
.hidden { display: none; }
.block { display: block; }
.flex { display: flex; }
.grid { display: grid; }

/* Responsive utilities */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .md\:hidden { display: none; }
  .md\:block { display: block; }
  .md\:flex { display: flex; }
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .lg\:hidden { display: none; }
  .lg\:block { display: block; }
}

/* Text utilities */
.text-center { text-align: center; }
.text-left { text-align: left; }
.text-right { text-align: right; }

.font-bold { font-weight: 700; }
.font-normal { font-weight: 400; }

.text-sm { font-size: 0.875rem; }
.text-base { font-size: 1rem; }
.text-lg { font-size: 1.125rem; }
.text-xl { font-size: 1.25rem; }

Browser Compatibility

Feature Detection

/* Use @supports for feature detection */
.grid-container {
  display: flex;  /* Fallback */
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

@supports (display: grid) {
  .grid-container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));
  }
}

/* Detect container queries support */
@supports (container-type: inline-size) {
  .card-container {
    container-type: inline-size;
  }
}

Vendor Prefixes

/* Use autoprefixer in build process */
/* postcss.config.js */
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('autoprefixer')({
      browsers: ['last 2 versions', '> 1%', 'not dead'],
    }),
  ],
};

/* It will automatically add: */
.box {
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: flex;
}

Testing Responsive Designs

Manual Testing Checklist

Test all breakpoints (320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px)
Test landscape and portrait orientations
Test on actual devices (not just emulator)
Test with 200% browser zoom
Test with different font sizes
Test hover states on desktop
Test touch interactions on mobile
Test with slow network (3G simulation)
Test with JavaScript disabled
Test with screen reader

Automated Testing

// Playwright responsive testing
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

const viewports = [
  { width: 375, height: 667, name: 'iPhone SE' },
  { width: 768, height: 1024, name: 'iPad' },
  { width: 1920, height: 1080, name: 'Desktop' },
];

for (const viewport of viewports) {
  test(`renders correctly on ${viewport.name}`, async ({ page }) => {
    await page.setViewportSize(viewport);
    await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
    await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(`${viewport.name}.png`);
  });
}

State Management Skill

Production-tested patterns for scalable, performant state management in modern frontend applications

This skill codifies best practices from thousands of production deployments covering React Context, Zustand, Redux Toolkit, Jotai, and server state management.

Core Principles

Choose the Right Tool: Context for simple state, Zustand/Redux for complex state, TanStack Query for server data
Performance First: Minimize re-renders with granular subscriptions and proper memoization
Type Safety: All state typed with TypeScript for compile-time safety
Separation of Concerns: Split state by domain (user, cart, ui, etc.)
Testability: Pure reducers/actions that are easy to test

Decision Tree: Which State Management Solution?

Do you need to share state across components?
├─ No → Local component state (useState, useReducer)
└─ Yes
    ├─ Is it server data (API responses)?
    │   └─ Yes → TanStack Query / SWR
    └─ Is it client UI state?
        ├─ Simple state, small app, infrequent updates?
        │   └─ Yes → React Context
        ├─ Medium complexity, good DX, minimal boilerplate?
        │   └─ Yes → Zustand (RECOMMENDED)
        ├─ Large app, need devtools, established patterns?
        │   └─ Yes → Redux Toolkit
        └─ Need atomic state, granular updates?
            └─ Yes → Jotai / Recoil

Solution 1: React Context (Simple State)

When to Use

✅ Good for:

Small to medium apps (< 20 components)
Infrequent state updates
Theme, locale, or user session
Simple form wizards
Feature flags

❌ Avoid for:

Frequently changing state (performance issues)
Large applications (hard to maintain)
Complex async logic
Need for dev tools

Implementation Pattern

// contexts/AppContext.tsx
import React, { createContext, useContext, useReducer, ReactNode } from 'react';

// State shape
interface AppState {
  user: User | null;
  theme: 'light' | 'dark';
  locale: string;
  isLoading: boolean;
}

// Actions (discriminated union)
type AppAction =
  | { type: 'SET_USER'; payload: User }
  | { type: 'LOGOUT' }
  | { type: 'TOGGLE_THEME' }
  | { type: 'SET_LOCALE'; payload: string }
  | { type: 'SET_LOADING'; payload: boolean };

// Initial state
const initialState: AppState = {
  user: null,
  theme: 'light',
  locale: 'en',
  isLoading: false,
};

// Reducer (pure function)
function appReducer(state: AppState, action: AppAction): AppState {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'SET_USER':
      return { ...state, user: action.payload };

    case 'LOGOUT':
      return { ...state, user: null };

    case 'TOGGLE_THEME':
      return {
        ...state,
        theme: state.theme === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light',
      };

    case 'SET_LOCALE':
      return { ...state, locale: action.payload };

    case 'SET_LOADING':
      return { ...state, isLoading: action.payload };

    default:
      return state;
  }
}

// Context
const AppContext = createContext<{
  state: AppState;
  dispatch: React.Dispatch<AppAction>;
} | undefined>(undefined);

// Provider component
export function AppProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(appReducer, initialState);

  return (
    <AppContext.Provider value={{ state, dispatch }}>
      {children}
    </AppContext.Provider>
  );
}

// Custom hook
export function useApp() {
  const context = useContext(AppContext);
  if (!context) {
    throw new Error('useApp must be used within AppProvider');
  }
  return context;
}

// Selector hooks (prevent unnecessary re-renders)
export function useUser() {
  const { state } = useApp();
  return state.user;
}

export function useTheme() {
  const { state } = useApp();
  return state.theme;
}

export function useLocale() {
  const { state } = useApp();
  return state.locale;
}

// Action creators (optional, for consistency)
export const appActions = {
  setUser: (user: User): AppAction => ({ type: 'SET_USER', payload: user }),
  logout: (): AppAction => ({ type: 'LOGOUT' }),
  toggleTheme: (): AppAction => ({ type: 'TOGGLE_THEME' }),
  setLocale: (locale: string): AppAction => ({ type: 'SET_LOCALE', payload: locale }),
  setLoading: (isLoading: boolean): AppAction => ({ type: 'SET_LOADING', payload: isLoading }),
};

Usage

// App.tsx
import { AppProvider } from './contexts/AppContext';

function App() {
  return (
    <AppProvider>
      <YourApp />
    </AppProvider>
  );
}

// Component
import { useUser, useApp, appActions } from './contexts/AppContext';

function UserProfile() {
  const user = useUser(); // Only re-renders when user changes
  const { dispatch } = useApp();

  const handleLogout = () => {
    dispatch(appActions.logout());
  };

  if (!user) return <div>Not logged in</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{user.name}</h1>
      <button onClick={handleLogout}>Logout</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Performance Optimization for Context

// Split contexts to minimize re-renders
// Bad: One giant context
<AppContext> {/* All components re-render on any change */}
  <UserData />
  <ThemeData />
  <CartData />
</AppContext>

// Good: Split contexts
<UserContext>
  <ThemeContext>
    <CartContext>
      <App />
    </CartContext>
  </ThemeContext>
</UserContext>

// Use memo to prevent re-renders
const MemoizedComponent = React.memo(ExpensiveComponent);

Solution 2: Zustand (Recommended for Most Apps)

When to Use

✅ Good for:

Medium to large applications
Need good developer experience
Want minimal boilerplate
Performance-critical apps
Quick prototyping to production

Features:

No providers needed
Small bundle size (~1KB)
DevTools integration
Middleware support (persist, immer)
TypeScript-first
Granular subscriptions

Implementation Pattern

// stores/userStore.ts
import { create } from 'zustand';
import { devtools, persist } from 'zustand/middleware';
import { immer } from 'zustand/middleware/immer';

interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  role: 'user' | 'admin';
}

interface UserState {
  // State
  user: User | null;
  isLoading: boolean;
  error: string | null;

  // Actions
  setUser: (user: User) => void;
  updateUser: (updates: Partial<User>) => void;
  logout: () => void;
  fetchUser: (userId: string) => Promise<void>;
  clearError: () => void;
}

export const useUserStore = create<UserState>()(
  devtools(
    persist(
      immer((set, get) => ({
        // Initial state
        user: null,
        isLoading: false,
        error: null,

        // Actions
        setUser: (user) => set({ user }),

        updateUser: (updates) =>
          set((state) => {
            if (state.user) {
              state.user = { ...state.user, ...updates };
            }
          }),

        logout: () => set({ user: null }),

        fetchUser: async (userId) => {
          set({ isLoading: true, error: null });
          try {
            const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
            if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to fetch user');
            const user = await response.json();
            set({ user, isLoading: false });
          } catch (error) {
            set({
              error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
              isLoading: false,
            });
          }
        },

        clearError: () => set({ error: null }),
      })),
      {
        name: 'user-storage', // localStorage key
        partialize: (state) => ({ user: state.user }), // Only persist user
      }
    ),
    { name: 'UserStore' } // DevTools name
  )
);

// Selectors (for better performance and reusability)
export const selectUser = (state: UserState) => state.user;
export const selectIsLoggedIn = (state: UserState) => state.user !== null;
export const selectIsAdmin = (state: UserState) => state.user?.role === 'admin';
export const selectUserName = (state: UserState) => state.user?.name;

Usage

import { useUserStore, selectUser, selectIsLoggedIn } from '@/stores/userStore';

function UserProfile() {
  // Subscribe to specific state (re-renders only when user changes)
  const user = useUserStore(selectUser);
  const isLoggedIn = useUserStore(selectIsLoggedIn);

  // Access actions (doesn't cause re-render)
  const logout = useUserStore((state) => state.logout);
  const updateUser = useUserStore((state) => state.updateUser);

  // Or get everything (re-renders on any state change - avoid!)
  // const { user, isLoggedIn, logout } = useUserStore();

  const handleNameChange = (newName: string) => {
    updateUser({ name: newName });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      {isLoggedIn ? (
        <>
          <h1>{user.name}</h1>
          <input
            value={user.name}
            onChange={(e) => handleNameChange(e.target.value)}
          />
          <button onClick={logout}>Logout</button>
        </>
      ) : (
        <p>Please log in</p>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Advanced Zustand Patterns

// Slice pattern (split large stores)
import { StateCreator } from 'zustand';

interface UserSlice {
  user: User | null;
  setUser: (user: User) => void;
}

const createUserSlice: StateCreator<UserSlice> = (set) => ({
  user: null,
  setUser: (user) => set({ user }),
});

interface CartSlice {
  items: CartItem[];
  addItem: (item: CartItem) => void;
}

const createCartSlice: StateCreator<CartSlice> = (set) => ({
  items: [],
  addItem: (item) => set((state) => ({ items: [...state.items, item] })),
});

// Combine slices
const useStore = create<UserSlice & CartSlice>()((...a) => ({
  ...createUserSlice(...a),
  ...createCartSlice(...a),
}));

// Computed values with selectors
const selectCartTotal = (state: CartSlice) =>
  state.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price * item.quantity, 0);

// Use in component
const cartTotal = useStore(selectCartTotal);

// Shallow comparison for object/array selectors
import { shallow } from 'zustand/shallow';

const { user, theme } = useStore(
  (state) => ({ user: state.user, theme: state.theme }),
  shallow
);

// Subscribe outside React components
const unsubscribe = useUserStore.subscribe(
  (state) => state.user,
  (user) => {
    console.log('User changed:', user);
  }
);

// Cleanup
unsubscribe();

// Access state outside components
const currentUser = useUserStore.getState().user;
useUserStore.setState({ user: newUser });

Solution 3: Redux Toolkit (Large, Complex Apps)

When to Use

✅ Good for:

Large, enterprise applications
Need time-travel debugging
Team familiar with Redux
Strict architectural patterns
Complex async logic

Features:

Powerful DevTools
Middleware ecosystem
Strict unidirectional data flow
Battle-tested in production
Great TypeScript support

Implementation Pattern

        method: 'PATCH',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify(updates),
      });
      return response.json();
    } catch (error) {

        state.error = null;
      })
      .addCase(fetchUser.fulfilled, (state, action) => {

      })
      .addCase(updateUser.rejected, (state, action) => {
        state.isLoading = false;
        state.error = action.payload as string;
      });
  },
});

export const { setUser, logout, clearError } = userSlice.actions;
export default userSlice.reducer;

// Selectors
export const selectUser = (state: RootState) => state.user.user;
export const selectIsLoading = (state: RootState) => state.user.isLoading;
export const selectError = (state: RootState) => state.user.error;

  if (!user) return <div>Not logged in</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{user.name}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch(logout())}>Logout</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Solution 4: Jotai (Atomic State)

When to Use

✅ Good for:

Need granular state updates
Want React Hooks-like API
Bottom-up state composition
Performance-critical apps
Experimental features OK

Features:

Atomic state model
No providers needed
Tiny bundle size
Great TypeScript support
Built-in async support

Implementation Pattern

// atoms/userAtom.ts
import { atom } from 'jotai';
import { atomWithStorage } from 'jotai/utils';

interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

// Basic atom (with localStorage persistence)
export const userAtom = atomWithStorage<User | null>('user', null);

// Derived atom (read-only computed value)
export const isLoggedInAtom = atom((get) => {
  const user = get(userAtom);
  return user !== null;
});

export const userNameAtom = atom((get) => {
  const user = get(userAtom);
  return user?.name || 'Guest';
});

// Async atom
export const userProfileAtom = atom(async (get) => {
  const user = get(userAtom);
  if (!user) return null;

  const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${user.id}/profile`);
  return response.json();
});

// Write atom (action)
export const logoutAtom = atom(
  null, // No read function
  (get, set) => {
    set(userAtom, null);
    // Additional cleanup
    localStorage.removeItem('auth-token');
  }
);

// Async write atom
export const fetchUserAtom = atom(
  null,
  async (get, set, userId: string) => {
    try {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
      const user = await response.json();
      set(userAtom, user);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to fetch user:', error);
    }
  }
);

Usage

import { useAtom, useAtomValue, useSetAtom } from 'jotai';
import { userAtom, isLoggedInAtom, logoutAtom } from '@/atoms/userAtom';

function UserProfile() {
  // Read and write
  const [user, setUser] = useAtom(userAtom);

  // Read only (doesn't re-render when atom changes that you write to)
  const isLoggedIn = useAtomValue(isLoggedInAtom);

  // Write only (doesn't re-render when atom changes)
  const logout = useSetAtom(logoutAtom);

  return (
    <div>
      {isLoggedIn && <h1>{user.name}</h1>}
      <button onClick={logout}>Logout</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Solution 5: TanStack Query (Server State)

When to Use

✅ Good for:

API data (server state)
Automatic caching
Background refetching
Optimistic updates
Pagination/infinite scroll

❌ Avoid for:

Client UI state (use Zustand/Context)
Global app state

Implementation Pattern

// hooks/useUser.ts
import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';

interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

// Fetch user
export function useUser(userId: string) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['user', userId],
    queryFn: async () => {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
      if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to fetch user');
      return response.json() as Promise<User>;
    },
    staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // Consider fresh for 5 minutes
    cacheTime: 10 * 60 * 1000, // Keep in cache for 10 minutes
    retry: 2,
  });
}

// Update user
export function useUpdateUser() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async ({ userId, updates }: { userId: string; updates: Partial<User> }) => {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`, {
        method: 'PATCH',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify(updates),
      });
      return response.json();
    },
    onSuccess: (data, variables) => {
      // Invalidate and refetch
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['user', variables.userId] });

      // Or optimistic update
      queryClient.setQueryData(['user', variables.userId], data);
    },
  });
}

// Infinite scroll
export function useUserList() {
  return useInfiniteQuery({
    queryKey: ['users'],
    queryFn: async ({ pageParam = 0 }) => {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/users?page=${pageParam}`);
      return response.json();
    },
    getNextPageParam: (lastPage, pages) => lastPage.nextPage,
  });
}

Usage

import { useUser, useUpdateUser } from '@/hooks/useUser';

function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const { data: user, isLoading, error } = useUser(userId);
  const updateMutation = useUpdateUser();

  const handleUpdate = (name: string) => {
    updateMutation.mutate({ userId, updates: { name } });
  };

  if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;
  if (!user) return <div>User not found</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{user.name}</h1>
      <button
        onClick={() => handleUpdate('New Name')}
        disabled={updateMutation.isLoading}
      >
        Update Name
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

Performance Optimization Patterns

1. Granular Subscriptions

// ❌ BAD: Subscribes to entire store
const { user, theme, cart } = useStore();

// ✅ GOOD: Granular subscriptions
const user = useStore((state) => state.user);
const theme = useStore((state) => state.theme);

// ✅ EVEN BETTER: Use shallow for multiple values
import { shallow } from 'zustand/shallow';
const { user, theme } = useStore(
  (state) => ({ user: state.user, theme: state.theme }),
  shallow
);

2. Memoized Selectors

// ❌ BAD: Creates new array on every render
const activeItems = useStore((state) =>
  state.items.filter((item) => item.active)
);

// ✅ GOOD: Memoized selector
import { useMemo } from 'react';
const items = useStore((state) => state.items);
const activeItems = useMemo(
  () => items.filter((item) => item.active),
  [items]
);

// ✅ BEST: Selector outside component
const selectActiveItems = (state) =>
  state.items.filter((item) => item.active);

const activeItems = useStore(selectActiveItems);

3. Split Stores by Domain

// ❌ BAD: One giant store
const useStore = create((set) => ({
  user: null,
  cart: [],
  products: [],
  ui: {},
  // ... 50 more properties
}));

// ✅ GOOD: Separate stores
const useUserStore = create((set) => ({ user: null }));
const useCartStore = create((set) => ({ items: [] }));
const useProductsStore = create((set) => ({ products: [] }));
const useUIStore = create((set) => ({ theme: 'light' }));

4. Debounce Frequent Updates

import { debounce } from 'lodash-es';

const useStore = create((set) => ({
  searchQuery: '',

  // Debounce search updates (wait 300ms)
  setSearchQuery: debounce((query: string) => {
    set({ searchQuery: query });
  }, 300),
}));

5. Avoid Derived State in Store

// ❌ BAD: Derived state stored (recalculates on every update)
const useStore = create((set, get) => ({
  items: [],
  totalPrice: 0, // Derived from items

  addItem: (item) => set((state) => ({
    items: [...state.items, item],
    totalPrice: calculateTotal([...state.items, item]), // Slow!
  })),
}));

// ✅ GOOD: Compute on demand with selector
const useStore = create((set) => ({
  items: [],

  addItem: (item) => set((state) => ({
    items: [...state.items, item],
  })),
}));

// Selector computes on read
const selectTotalPrice = (state) =>
  state.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);

// Usage
const totalPrice = useStore(selectTotalPrice);

Testing State Management

Testing Zustand Stores

import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react';
import { useUserStore } from './userStore';

describe('useUserStore', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    // Reset store before each test
    useUserStore.setState({ user: null, isLoading: false, error: null });
  });

  it('sets user correctly', () => {
    const { result } = renderHook(() => useUserStore());

    act(() => {
      result.current.setUser({ id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' });
    });

    expect(result.current.user).toEqual({ id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' });
  });

  it('handles logout', () => {
    const { result } = renderHook(() => useUserStore());

    act(() => {
      result.current.setUser({ id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' });
      result.current.logout();
    });

    expect(result.current.user).toBeNull();
  });

  it('fetches user successfully', async () => {
    global.fetch = jest.fn(() =>
      Promise.resolve({
        ok: true,
        json: () => Promise.resolve({ id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' }),
      })
    ) as jest.Mock;

    const { result } = renderHook(() => useUserStore());

    await act(async () => {
      await result.current.fetchUser('1');
    });

    expect(result.current.user).toEqual({ id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' });
    expect(result.current.isLoading).toBe(false);
  });

  it('handles fetch error', async () => {
    global.fetch = jest.fn(() =>
      Promise.reject(new Error('Network error'))
    ) as jest.Mock;

    const { result } = renderHook(() => useUserStore());

    await act(async () => {
      await result.current.fetchUser('1');
    });

    expect(result.current.user).toBeNull();
    expect(result.current.error).toBe('Network error');
    expect(result.current.isLoading).toBe(false);
  });
});

Testing Redux Slices

import userReducer, { setUser, logout, fetchUser } from './userSlice';
import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

describe('userSlice', () => {
  it('handles setUser', () => {
    const initialState = { user: null, isLoading: false, error: null };
    const user = { id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' };

    const newState = userReducer(initialState, setUser(user));

    expect(newState.user).toEqual(user);
  });

  it('handles logout', () => {
    const initialState = {
      user: { id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' },
      isLoading: false,
      error: null,
    };

    const newState = userReducer(initialState, logout());

    expect(newState.user).toBeNull();
  });

  it('handles fetchUser.fulfilled', () => {
    const initialState = { user: null, isLoading: true, error: null };
    const user = { id: '1', name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' };

    const newState = userReducer(initialState, fetchUser.fulfilled(user, '', '1'));

    expect(newState.user).toEqual(user);
    expect(newState.isLoading).toBe(false);
  });
});

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Storing Derived State

// ❌ BAD
const useStore = create((set) => ({
  items: [],
  count: 0, // Derived from items.length

  addItem: (item) => set((state) => ({
    items: [...state.items, item],
    count: state.items.length + 1, // Manual sync - error-prone!
  })),
}));

// ✅ GOOD
const useStore = create((set) => ({
  items: [],
  addItem: (item) => set((state) => ({ items: [...state.items, item] })),
}));

const selectItemCount = (state) => state.items.length;
const itemCount = useStore(selectItemCount);

2. Mutating State Directly

// ❌ BAD: Mutates state
const addItem = () => {
  const state = useStore.getState();
  state.items.push(newItem); // Mutation!
  useStore.setState(state);
};

// ✅ GOOD: Creates new state
const addItem = () => {
  useStore.setState((state) => ({
    items: [...state.items, newItem],
  }));
};

// ✅ OR: Use immer middleware
import { immer } from 'zustand/middleware/immer';

const useStore = create(
  immer((set) => ({
    items: [],
    addItem: (item) =>
      set((state) => {
        state.items.push(item); // Immer allows "mutation"
      }),
  }))
);

3. Overusing Global State

// ❌ BAD: Everything in global state
const useStore = create((set) => ({
  modalIsOpen: false,
  accordionExpanded: false,
  tooltipVisible: false,
  // ... UI state that could be local
}));

// ✅ GOOD: Use local state for component-specific state
function Modal() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false); // Local state
}

// Only use global state for truly shared state
const useUserStore = create((set) => ({
  user: null, // Shared across many components
}));
