React Hydration Best Practices ⚠️ CRITICAL
For React 19 SSR Apps - Hydration mismatches cause runtime errors.
❌ NEVER Use Inline Event Handlers
// ❌ WRONG - Hydration mismatch
<s-button onclick={handleClick}>Click</s-button>
✅ Use Data Attributes + useEffect
// ✅ CORRECT
<s-button data-my-button>Click</s-button>
useEffect(() => {
const button = document.querySelector('[data-my-button]');
if (button) {
button.addEventListener('click', handleClick);
}
return () => button?.removeEventListener('click', handleClick);
}, []);
Common Polaris Patterns
1. Index/List Page Pattern
import { useLoaderData } from "react-router";
export const loader = async ({ request }) => {
const { admin, session } = await authenticate.admin(request);
const products = await db.product.findMany({
where: { shopId: session.shop },
take: 50,
});
return json({ products });
};
export default function ProductsPage() {
const { products } = useLoaderData();
return (
<s-page heading="Products">
<s-section>
<s-grid columns="3">
<s-box border="base" borderRadius="base" padding="400">
<s-stack gap="200" direction="vertical">
<s-text variant="headingMd" as="h3">Total Products</s-text>
<s-text variant="heading2xl" as="p">{products.length}</s-text>
</s-stack>
</s-box>
</s-grid>
</s-section>
<s-section>
<s-card>
<s-table>
<s-table-head>
<s-table-row>
<s-table-cell as="th">Title</s-table-cell>
<s-table-cell as="th">Vendor</s-table-cell>
<s-table-cell as="th">Actions</s-table-cell>
</s-table-row>
</s-table-head>
<s-table-body>
{products.map(product => (
<s-table-row key={product.id}>
<s-table-cell>{product.title}</s-table-cell>
<s-table-cell>{product.vendor}</s-table-cell>
<s-table-cell>
<s-button-group>
<s-button>Edit</s-button>
<s-button variant="destructive">Delete</s-button>
</s-button-group>
</s-table-cell>
</s-table-row>
))}
</s-table-body>
</s-table>
</s-card>
</s-section>
</s-page>
);
}
2. Form Pattern
export const action = async ({ request }) => {
const formData = await request.formData();
const title = formData.get("title");
const description = formData.get("description");
await db.product.create({
data: { title, description },
});
return redirect("/app/products");
};
export default function NewProductPage() {
const actionData = useActionData();
const submit = useSubmit();
function handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
const formData = new FormData(event.target);
submit(formData, { method: "post" });
}
return (
<s-page heading="New Product">
<form method="post" onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<s-card>
<s-stack gap="400" direction="vertical">
<s-text-field
label="Title"
name="title"
required
error={actionData?.errors?.title}
/>
<s-text-field
label="Description"
name="description"
multiline={4}
/>
<s-button-group>
<s-button type="submit" variant="primary">Save</s-button>
<s-button url="/app/products">Cancel</s-button>
</s-button-group>
</s-stack>
</s-card>
</form>
</s-page>
);
}
3. Modal Pattern
function ProductModal({ product, onClose }) {
return (
<s-modal open onClose={onClose} title="Edit Product">
<s-modal-section>
<s-stack gap="400" direction="vertical">
<s-text-field label="Title" value={product.title} />
<s-text-field label="Vendor" value={product.vendor} />
</s-stack>
</s-modal-section>
<s-modal-footer>
<s-button-group>
<s-button onClick={onClose}>Cancel</s-button>
<s-button variant="primary">Save</s-button>
</s-button-group>
</s-modal-footer>
</s-modal>
);
}
4. Empty State Pattern
{products.length === 0 ? (
<s-empty-state
heading="No products yet"
image="https://cdn.shopify.com/..."
>
<s-text variant="bodyMd">
Start by adding your first product
</s-text>
<s-button variant="primary" url="/app/products/new">
Add Product
</s-button>
</s-empty-state>
) : (
// Product list
)}
5. Loading State Pattern
const navigation = useNavigation();
const isLoading = navigation.state === "loading";
return (
<s-page heading="Products">
{isLoading ? (
<s-card>
<s-stack gap="400" direction="vertical">
<s-skeleton-display-text />
<s-skeleton-display-text />
<s-skeleton-display-text />
</s-stack>
</s-card>
) : (
// Content
)}
</s-page>
);

<div>Column 2</div>
</s-grid>
</s-stack>
Best Practices
- Use Semantic HTML - Proper heading hierarchy and landmarks
- Accessibility - ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, focus management
- Responsive - Test on mobile, tablet, and desktop
- Loading States - Show skeleton loaders during data fetching
- Empty States - Provide clear guidance when no data exists
- Error States - Show user-friendly error messages
- Form Validation - Validate on submit, show inline errors
- SSR Compatibility - Use data attributes for event handlers
- Performance - Lazy load large components, virtualize long lists
- Consistency - Follow Polaris patterns throughout the app
Checklist
