# React TypeScript Patterns

## Component Types

### Function Components

```typescript
interface ButtonProps {
  label: string;
  onClick: () => void;
  disabled?: boolean;
}

function Button({ label, onClick, disabled = false }: ButtonProps) {
  return (
    <button onClick={onClick} disabled={disabled}>
      {label}
    </button>
  );
}
```

### With Children

```typescript
interface CardProps {
  title: string;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}

function Card({ title, children }: CardProps) {
  return (
    <div className="card">
      <h2>{title}</h2>
      {children}
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Generic Components

```typescript
interface ListProps<T> {
  items: T[];
  renderItem: (item: T) => React.ReactNode;
  keyExtractor: (item: T) => string;
}

function List<T>({ items, renderItem, keyExtractor }: ListProps<T>) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {items.map((item) => (
        <li key={keyExtractor(item)}>{renderItem(item)}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}
```

## Hooks

### Custom Hook Pattern

```typescript
function useUser(userId: string) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    let cancelled = false;
    setLoading(true);

    fetchUser(userId)
      .then((data) => {
        if (!cancelled) setUser(data);
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        if (!cancelled) setError(err);
      })
      .finally(() => {
        if (!cancelled) setLoading(false);
      });

    return () => {
      cancelled = true;
    };
  }, [userId]);

  return { user, loading, error };
}
```

### useCallback with Types

```typescript
const handleSubmit = useCallback(
  async (data: FormData) => {
    await submitForm(data);
    onSuccess();
  },
  [onSuccess],
);
```

### useReducer

```typescript
type State = { count: number; error: string | null };
type Action =
  | { type: "increment" }
  | { type: "decrement" }
  | { type: "reset"; payload: number };

function reducer(state: State, action: Action): State {
  switch (action.type) {
    case "increment":
      return { ...state, count: state.count + 1 };
    case "decrement":
      return { ...state, count: state.count - 1 };
    case "reset":
      return { ...state, count: action.payload };
  }
}
```

## Event Handling

```typescript
function Form() {
  const handleChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    setValue(e.target.value);
  };

  const handleSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    submit();
  };

  const handleKeyDown = (e: React.KeyboardEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    if (e.key === "Enter") submit();
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input onChange={handleChange} onKeyDown={handleKeyDown} />
    </form>
  );
}
```

## Context

```typescript
interface AuthContextValue {
  user: User | null;
  login: (credentials: Credentials) => Promise<void>;
  logout: () => void;
}

const AuthContext = createContext<AuthContextValue | null>(null);

function useAuth() {
  const context = useContext(AuthContext);
  if (!context) throw new Error("useAuth must be used within AuthProvider");
  return context;
}

function AuthProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);

  const login = async (credentials: Credentials) => {
    const user = await authenticate(credentials);
    setUser(user);
  };

  const logout = () => setUser(null);

  return <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, login, logout }}>{children}</AuthContext.Provider>;
}
```

## Data Fetching (TanStack Query)

```typescript
function useUsers() {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ["users"],
    queryFn: fetchUsers,
  });
}

function useCreateUser() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: createUser,
    onSuccess: () => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["users"] });
    },
  });
}
```

## Form Handling (React Hook Form + Zod)

```typescript
const FormSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  password: z.string().min(8),
});

type FormData = z.infer<typeof FormSchema>;

function LoginForm() {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm<FormData>({
    resolver: zodResolver(FormSchema),
  });

  const onSubmit = (data: FormData) => {
    login(data);
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <input {...register("email")} />
      {errors.email && <span>{errors.email.message}</span>}

      <input type="password" {...register("password")} />
      {errors.password && <span>{errors.password.message}</span>}

      <button type="submit">Login</button>
    </form>
  );
}
```

## Performance

### Memoization

```typescript
const MemoizedComponent = memo(function ExpensiveComponent({ data }: Props) {
  return <div>{/* expensive render */}</div>;
});

const memoizedValue = useMemo(() => computeExpensive(a, b), [a, b]);

const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => doSomething(id), [id]);
```

### Lazy Loading

```typescript
const Dashboard = lazy(() => import("./Dashboard"));

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Loading />}>
      <Dashboard />
    </Suspense>
  );
}
```
