Component Design
Structure components cleanly before writing code.
Break it
I need to build [DESCRIBE UI FEATURE]. Break it into a component tree with a name and single responsibility for each component. Show me the TypeScript props interface for each.
Component does too
This component does too many things: [PASTE COMPONENT]. Refactor it into smaller focused pieces separating data fetching, state, and display.
Design compound component
Design a compound component for [DESCRIBE UI, E.G. "A MODAL" OR "TABS"]. Show how parent and children share state through context without prop drilling.
Review component
Review this component for issues: [PASTE COMPONENT]. Flag unnecessary re-renders, prop drilling, missing cleanup, and state that could be derived.
Which fields should
I want to build [DESCRIBE FORM]. Which fields should be controlled vs uncontrolled, where should state live, and which validation approach fits best?
Hooks and State
Extract reusable logic into hooks and manage state correctly.
Write custom hook called
Write a custom hook called use[NAME] that [DESCRIBE BEHAVIOR]. Accept typed parameters, return typed values, and handle cleanup.
Refactor logic
Refactor this logic from my component into a custom hook: [PASTE LOGIC]. Make it reusable and expose the minimum interface needed.
Write useFetch hook
Write a useFetch hook for any URL with loading, error, and data states. Cancel the request on unmount and include a TypeScript usage example.
Component has complex
My component has complex state. Should I use useState, useReducer, or an external store for: [DESCRIBE STATE SHAPE AND TRANSITIONS]? Show the implementation you recommend.
Write useDebounce hook
Write a useDebounce hook and show how to use it to debounce a search input that triggers an API call.
Performance
Stop unnecessary re-renders and speed up your app.
Component re-renders too
This component re-renders too often: [PASTE COMPONENT]. Identify the cause, show where React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback help, and explain which are actually worth adding.
Slow list
I have a slow list of [N] items. Implement virtualization for this component: [PASTE COMPONENT]. What are the key trade-offs?
Context re-renders all
My context re-renders all consumers on every update: [PASTE CONTEXT]. Refactor it to minimise unnecessary re-renders.
Do I need
Do I need React.memo for this component: [PASTE COMPONENT]? Show the parent rendering pattern and tell me what actually triggers a re-render.
Lazy-load this heavy
Lazy-load this heavy component: [DESCRIBE]. Show the React.lazy and Suspense setup with the right fallback.
Data and Side Effects
Fetch data, handle loading states, and manage effects correctly.
Show Show me
Show me how to fetch [DESCRIBE DATA] with React Query. Include the query key design, stale time, error handling, and an optimistic mutation.
Use useEffect
I use useEffect to fetch data and have bugs: [DESCRIBE BUG OR PASTE CODE]. Explain what is wrong, fix the dependency array, and show the correct pattern.
Write server component
Write the server component and client component split for this Next.js App Router feature: [DESCRIBE FEATURE]. Explain what belongs where.
Compare Compare context
I need to manage [DESCRIBE SHARED STATE] across many components. Compare context, Zustand, and React Query for this specific case and recommend the best fit.
Write form
Write a form with React Hook Form for [DESCRIBE FIELDS AND VALIDATION]. Include schema validation, error display, and a typed onSubmit handler.
Frequently asked questions
Can Gemini help design React component architecture?+
Yes. Describe the UI and Gemini will suggest a component tree with clear responsibilities, prop interfaces, and guidance on where to put state and effects.
How does Gemini help with React performance?+
Paste the slow component and Gemini will identify what causes unnecessary re-renders, whether memoisation is warranted, and the correct fix.
Can Gemini write custom React hooks?+
Yes. Describe the behaviour and Gemini will write a typed, reusable hook with proper cleanup, edge case handling, and a usage example.
What React topics does Gemini handle best?+
Component design, custom hooks, performance optimisation, React Query patterns, context vs external state, and Next.js App Router patterns are all strong areas.
Can Gemini help fix React bugs?+
Yes. Paste the buggy component and describe the symptom and Gemini will explain the root cause and the correct pattern to avoid the same problem.
