# React Patterns > Principles for building production-ready React applications. --- ## 1. Component Design Principles ### Component Types | Type | Use | State | |------|-----|-------| | **Server** | Data fetching, static | None | | **Client** | Interactivity | useState, effects | | **Presentational** | UI display | Props only | | **Container** | Logic/state | Heavy state | ### Design Rules - One responsibility per component - Props down, events up - Composition over inheritance - Prefer small, focused components --- ## 2. Hook Patterns ### When to Extract Hooks | Pattern | Extract When | |---------|-------------| | **useLocalStorage** | Same storage logic needed | | **useDebounce** | Multiple debounced values | | **useFetch** | Repeated fetch patterns | | **useForm** | Complex form state | ### Hook Rules - Hooks at top level only - Same order every render - Custom hooks start with "use" - Clean up effects on unmount --- ## 3. State Management Selection | Complexity | Solution | |------------|----------| | Simple | useState, useReducer | | Shared local | Context | | Server state | React Query, SWR | | Complex global | Zustand, Redux Toolkit | ### State Placement | Scope | Where | |-------|-------| | Single component | useState | | Parent-child | Lift state up | | Subtree | Context | | App-wide | Global store | --- ## 4. React 19 Patterns ### New Hooks | Hook | Purpose | |------|---------| | **useActionState** | Form submission state | | **useOptimistic**
