Component Architecture

Overview

This document defines our React component principles for Next.js projects.

Component Design Principles

Core Principles

1. Single Responsibility

   • Each component should do one thing well
   • Extract complex logic into custom hooks
   • Separate concerns (presentation vs logic)

2. Composition Over Inheritance

   • Build complex UIs from simple components
   • Use component composition patterns
   • Avoid deep component hierarchies

3. Reusability

   • Design components to be project-agnostic
   • Make components configurable via props
   • Avoid hard-coded values

4. Predictability

   • Components should behave consistently
   • Props should be intuitive and well-typed
   • Side effects should be clearly managed
