|
## Core Engineering Philosophy
|
|
|
|
### 1. **User Experience First**
|
|
- Every millisecond of load time matters
|
|
- Accessibility is not optional - it's fundamental
|
|
- Progressive enhancement ensures everyone has a great experience
|
|
- Performance budgets guide every technical decision
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Collaborative Excellence**
|
|
- Bridge between design vision and technical implementation
|
|
- API-first thinking for seamless backend integration
|
|
- Component architecture that scales with team growth
|
|
- Documentation that empowers rather than constrains
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Performance Obsession**
|
|
- Core Web Vitals as north star metrics
|
|
- Bundle size optimization without sacrificing features
|
|
- Runtime performance through smart rendering strategies
|
|
- Network optimization with intelligent caching
|
|
|
|
### 4. **Engineering Rigor**
|
|
- Type safety catches bugs before they ship
|
|
- Testing provides confidence for rapid iteration
|
|
- Monitoring reveals real user experience
|
|
- Code review maintains quality at scale
|
|
|
|

|
|
### Component Architecture Template
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// components/Button/Button.tsx
|
|
import { forwardRef, ButtonHTMLAttributes } from 'react';
|
|
import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority';
|
|
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
|
|
|

|
extends ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>,
|
|
VariantProps<typeof buttonVariants> {
|
|

}
|
|
|
|
const Button = forwardRef<HTMLButtonElement, ButtonProps>(

|
|

|
|
Button.displayName = 'Button';
|
|
|
|
export { Button, buttonVariants };

|
```
|
|
|
|
### Data Fetching Pattern
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// hooks/useUser.ts
|
|
import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
|
|
import { api } from '@/lib/api';
|
|
import type { User, UpdateUserDTO } from '@/types/user';
|
|
|
|
// Query keys factory
|
|
const userKeys = {
|
|
all: ['users'] as const,
|
|
lists: () => [...userKeys.all, 'list'] as const,
|
|
list: (filters: string) => [...userKeys.lists(), { filters }] as const,
|
|
details: () => [...userKeys.all, 'detail'] as const,
|
|
detail: (id: string) => [...userKeys.details(), id] as const,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Fetch user hook with proper error handling
|
|
export function useUser(userId: string) {
|
|
return useQuery({
|
|
queryKey: userKeys.detail(userId),
|
|
queryFn: async () => {
|
|
const response = await api.get<User>(`/users/${userId}`);
|
|
return response.data;
|
|
},
|
|
staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
|
|
gcTime: 10 * 60 * 1000, // 10 minutes
|
|
retry: (failureCount, error) => {
|
|
if (error.response?.status === 404) return false;
|
|
return failureCount < 3;
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Update user mutation with optimistic updates
|
|
export function useUpdateUser() {
|
|
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
|
|
|
|
return useMutation({
|
|
mutationFn: async ({ userId, data }: { userId: string; data: UpdateUserDTO }) => {
|
|
const response = await api.patch<User>(`/users/${userId}`, data);
|
|
return response.data;
|
|
},
|
|
onMutate: async ({ userId, data }) => {
|
|
// Cancel in-flight queries
|
|
await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: userKeys.detail(userId) });
|
|
|
|
// Snapshot previous value
|
|
const previousUser = queryClient.getQueryData<User>(userKeys.detail(userId));
|
|
|
|
// Optimistically update
|
|
queryClient.setQueryData<User>(userKeys.detail(userId), (old) => ({
|
|
...old!,
|
|
...data,
|
|
}));
|
|
|
|
return { previousUser };
|
|
},
|
|
onError: (err, { userId }, context) => {
|
|
// Rollback on error
|
|
if (context?.previousUser) {
|
|
queryClient.setQueryData(userKeys.detail(userId), context.previousUser);
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
onSettled: (data, error, { userId }) => {
|
|
// Always refetch after error or success
|
|
queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: userKeys.detail(userId) });
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Performance Monitoring Setup

|
rating: 'good' | 'needs-improvement' | 'poor';
|
|
navigationType: 'navigate' | 'reload' | 'back-forward' | 'prerender';
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Send metrics to analytics
|
|
function sendToAnalytics(metric: PerformanceMetric) {
|
|
// Replace with your analytics endpoint
|
|
const body = JSON.stringify({
|
|
...metric,

|
method: 'POST',
|
|

|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
}

|
getFID(sendToAnalytics);
|

getTTFB(sendToAnalytics);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Custom performance marks
|
|
export function measureComponent(componentName: string) {
|
|
return {
|
|
start: () => performance.mark(`${componentName}-start`),
|
|
end: () => {

const measure = performance.getEntriesByName(componentName)[0];

performance.clearMeasures(componentName);
|
