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:

    bash
    python scripts/frontend_scaffolder.py my-app --template nextjs
    
  2. Add optional features (auth, api, forms, testing, storybook):

    bash
    python scripts/frontend_scaffolder.py dashboard --template nextjs --features auth,api
    
  3. Navigate to the project and install dependencies:

    bash
    cd my-app && npm install
    
  4. Start the development server:

    bash
    npm run dev
    

Scaffolder Options

Option Description
--template nextjs Next.js 14+ with App Router and Server Components
--template react React + Vite with TypeScript
--features auth Add NextAuth.js authentication
--features api Add React Query + API client
--features forms Add React Hook Form + Zod validation
--features testing Add Vitest + Testing Library
--dry-run Preview files without creating them

Component Generation

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

Workflow: Create a New Component

  1. Generate a client component:

    bash
    python scripts/component_generator.py Button --dir src/components/ui
    
  2. Generate a server component:

    bash
    python scripts/component_generator.py ProductCard --type server
    
  3. Generate with test and story files:

    bash
    python scripts/component_generator.py UserProfile --with-test --with-story
    
  4. Generate a custom hook:

    bash
    python scripts/component_generator.py FormValidation --type hook
    

Generator Options

Option Description
--type client Client component with 'use client' (default)
--type server Async server component
--type hook Custom React hook
--with-test Include test file
--with-story Include Storybook story
--flat Create in output dir without subdirectory
--dry-run Preview without creating files

Generated Component Example

tsx
'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:

    bash
    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:

    bash
    python scripts/bundle_analyzer.py . --verbose
    

Bundle Score Interpretation

Score Grade Action
90-100 A Bundle is well-optimized
80-89 B Minor optimizations available
70-79 C Replace heavy dependencies
60-69 D Multiple issues need attention
0-59 F Critical bundle size problems

Heavy Dependencies Detected

The analyzer identifies these common heavy packages:

Package Size Alternative
moment 290KB date-fns (12KB) or dayjs (2KB)
lodash 71KB lodash-es with tree-shaking
axios 14KB Native fetch or ky (3KB)
jquery 87KB Native DOM APIs
@mui/material Large shadcn/ui or Radix UI

React Patterns

Reference: references/react_patterns.md

Compound Components

Share state between related components:

tsx
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:

tsx
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:

tsx
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
tsx
// 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

tsx
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

tsx
// 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
tsx
// 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

tsx
// 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

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

Tailwind CSS Utilities

tsx
// 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

tsx
// 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>;
}
