Project Scaffolding

Generate a new Next.js or React project with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and best practice configurations.

Workflow: Create New Frontend Project

1. Run the scaffolder with your project name and template:

   python scripts/frontend_scaffolder.py my-app --template nextjs
   

2. Add optional features (auth, api, forms, testing, storybook):

   python scripts/frontend_scaffolder.py dashboard --template nextjs --features auth,api
   

3. Navigate to the project and install dependencies:

   cd my-app && npm install
   

4. Start the development server:

   npm run dev
   

Scaffolder Options

Generated Structure (Next.js)

Component Generation

Generate React components with TypeScript, tests, and Storybook stories.

Workflow: Create a New Component

1. Generate a client component:

   python scripts/component_generator.py Button --dir src/components/ui
   

2. Generate a server component:

   python scripts/component_generator.py ProductCard --type server
   

3. Generate with test and story files:

   python scripts/component_generator.py UserProfile --with-test --with-story
   

4. Generate a custom hook:

   python scripts/component_generator.py FormValidation --type hook
   

Generator Options

Generated Component Example

'use client';

import { useState } from 'react';
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';

interface ButtonProps {
  className?: string;
  children?: React.ReactNode;
}

export function Button({ className, children }: ButtonProps) {
  return (
    <div className={cn('', className)}>
      {children}
    </div>
  );
}

Bundle Analysis

Analyze package.json and project structure for bundle optimization opportunities.

Workflow: Optimize Bundle Size

1. Run the analyzer on your project:

   python scripts/bundle_analyzer.py /path/to/project
   

2. Review the health score and issues:

   Bundle Health Score: 75/100 (C)
   
   HEAVY DEPENDENCIES:
     moment (290KB)
       Alternative: date-fns (12KB) or dayjs (2KB)
   
     lodash (71KB)
       Alternative: lodash-es with tree-shaking
   

3. Apply the recommended fixes by replacing heavy dependencies.

4. Re-run with verbose mode to check import patterns:

   python scripts/bundle_analyzer.py . --verbose
   

Bundle Score Interpretation

Heavy Dependencies Detected

The analyzer identifies these common heavy packages:

React Patterns

Reference: references/react_patterns.md

Compound Components

Share state between related components:

const Tabs = ({ children }) => {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(0);
  return (
    <TabsContext.Provider value={{ active, setActive }}>
      {children}
    </TabsContext.Provider>
  );
};

Tabs.List = TabList;
Tabs.Panel = TabPanel;

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

Custom Hooks

Extract reusable logic:

function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay = 500): T {
  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);

  useEffect(() => {
    const timer = setTimeout(() => setDebouncedValue(value), delay);
    return () => clearTimeout(timer);
  }, [value, delay]);

  return debouncedValue;
}

// Usage
const debouncedSearch = useDebounce(searchTerm, 300);

Render Props

Share rendering logic:

function DataFetcher({ url, render }) {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch(url).then(r => r.json()).then(setData).finally(() => setLoading(false));
  }, [url]);

  return render({ data, loading });
}

// Usage
<DataFetcher
  url="/api/users"
  render={({ data, loading }) =>
    loading ? <Spinner /> : <UserList users={data} />
  }
/>

Next.js Optimization

Reference: references/nextjs_optimization_guide.md

Server vs Client Components

Use Server Components by default. Add 'use client' only when you need:

• Event handlers (onClick, onChange)

• State (useState, useReducer)

• Effects (useEffect)

• Browser APIs

  // Server Component (default) - no 'use client' async function ProductPage({ params }) { const product = await getProduct(params.id); // Server-side fetch

  return ( <div> <h1>{product.name}</h1> <AddToCartButton productId={product.id} /> {/* Client component */} </div> ); }

  // Client Component 'use client'; function AddToCartButton({ productId }) { const [adding, setAdding] = useState(false); return <button onClick={() => addToCart(productId)}>Add</button>; }

Image Optimization

import Image from 'next/image';

// Above the fold - load immediately
<Image
  src="/hero.jpg"
  alt="Hero"
  width={1200}
  height={600}
  priority
/>

// Responsive image with fill
<div className="relative aspect-video">
  <Image
    src="/product.jpg"
    alt="Product"
    fill
    sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
    className="object-cover"
  />
</div>

Data Fetching Patterns

// Parallel fetching
async function Dashboard() {
  const [user, stats] = await Promise.all([
    getUser(),
    getStats()
  ]);
  return <div>...</div>;
}

// Streaming with Suspense
async function ProductPage({ params }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails id={params.id} />
      <Suspense fallback={<ReviewsSkeleton />}>
        <Reviews productId={params.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

Accessibility and Testing

Reference: references/frontend_best_practices.md

Accessibility Checklist

1. Semantic HTML : Use proper elements (<button>, <nav>, <main>)
2. Keyboard Navigation : All interactive elements focusable
3. ARIA Labels : Provide labels for icons and complex widgets
4. Color Contrast : Minimum 4.5:1 for normal text
5. Focus Indicators : Visible focus states

// Accessible button

<button
  type="button"
  aria-label="Close dialog"
  onClick={onClose}
  className="focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500"
>
  <XIcon aria-hidden="true" />
</button>

// Skip link for keyboard users
<a href="#main-content" className="sr-only focus:not-sr-only">
  Skip to main content
</a>

Testing Strategy

// Component test with React Testing Library
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';

test('button triggers action on click', async () => {
  const onClick = vi.fn();
  render(<Button onClick={onClick}>Click me</Button>);

  await userEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
  expect(onClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
});

// Test accessibility
test('dialog is accessible', async () => {
  render(<Dialog open={true} title="Confirm" />);

  expect(screen.getByRole('dialog')).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(screen.getByRole('dialog')).toHaveAttribute('aria-labelledby');
});

Quick Reference

Common Next.js Config

// next.config.js
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [{ hostname: 'cdn.example.com' }],
    formats: ['image/avif', 'image/webp'],
  },
  experimental: {
    optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', '@heroicons/react'],
  },
};

Tailwind CSS Utilities

// Conditional classes with cn()
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';

<button className={cn(
  'px-4 py-2 rounded',
  variant === 'primary' && 'bg-blue-500 text-white',
  disabled && 'opacity-50 cursor-not-allowed'
)} />

TypeScript Patterns

// Props with children
interface CardProps {
  className?: string;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}

// Generic component
interface ListProps<T> {
  items: T[];
  renderItem: (item: T) => React.ReactNode;
}

function List<T>({ items, renderItem }: ListProps<T>) {
  return <ul>{items.map(renderItem)}</ul>;
}
