Quick Reference

Modern Frontend Development - Comprehensive patterns for React 19, Next.js 16, Vue 3.5.

Core Capabilities:

• React 19: Server components, concurrent features, cache(), Suspense
• Next.js 16: App Router, Server Actions, ISR, Route handlers
• Vue 3.5: Composition API, TypeScript, Pinia state management
• Component Architecture: Design systems, compound components, CVA
• Performance: Code splitting, dynamic imports, memoization, Framer Motion animations

When to Use:

• Modern web application development
• Component library creation
• Frontend performance optimization
• UI/UX with accessibility

Implementation Quickstart

React 19 Server Component

Create an async page component that uses the cache function from React to memoize data fetching. Import Suspense for loading states. Define a getData function that fetches from the API endpoint with an id parameter and returns JSON. In the page component, wrap the DataDisplay component with Suspense using a Skeleton fallback, and pass the awaited getData result as the data prop.

Next.js Server Action

Create a server action file with the use server directive. Import revalidatePath from next/cache and z from zod for validation. Define a schema with title (minimum 1 character) and content (minimum 10 characters). The createPost function accepts FormData, validates with safeParse, returns errors on failure, creates the post in the database, and calls revalidatePath for the posts page.

Vue Composable

Create a useUser composable that accepts a userId ref parameter. Define user as a nullable ref, loading as a boolean ref, and fullName as a computed property that concatenates firstName and lastName. Use watchEffect to set loading true, fetch the user data asynchronously, assign to user ref, and set loading false. Return the user, loading, and fullName refs.

CVA Component

Import cva and VariantProps from class-variance-authority. Define buttonVariants with base classes for inline-flex, items-center, justify-center, rounded-md, and font-medium. Add variants object with variant options for default (primary background with hover) and outline (border with hover accent). Add size options for sm (h-9, px-3, text-sm), default (h-10, px-4), and lg (h-11, px-8). Set defaultVariants for variant and size. Export a Button component that applies the variants to a button element className.

Common Rationalizations

Red Flags

• Component renders user-provided HTML without sanitization (XSS vector)
• TypeScript any type used in component props or state definitions
• No loading or error states defined for async data fetching components
• Accessibility attributes (aria-label, role) missing from interactive elements
• Bundle size increased by more than 50KB without justification
• Component has more than 300 lines without extraction into sub-components

Verification

• All interactive elements have accessible names (aria-label or visible text)
• Components handle loading, error, and empty states
• No TypeScript any in new or modified code (show grep results)
• Bundle size impact measured for new dependencies (show analyzer output)
• User-provided content rendered with proper escaping or sanitization
• Components under 300 lines or decomposed with clear sub-component boundaries
