📝 Contribution Guidelines

Code Style

  • Use TypeScript for new components
  • Follow React Hooks patterns
  • Use Tailwind CSS for styling
  • Implement proper error handling
  • Add loading states for async operations
  • Write semantic HTML

Component Structure

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { motion } from 'framer-motion';
import { useFlowStore } from '../store/flowStore';

const ComponentName = () => {
  const { data, loading, error } = useFlowStore();
  
  // Component logic
  
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
      className="component-wrapper"
    >
      {/* Component JSX */}
    </motion.div>
  );
};

export default ComponentName;

Store Management

  • Use Zustand for state management
  • Keep stores focused and modular
  • Implement proper error handling
  • Add loading states
const useFeatureStore = create((set, get) => ({
  // State
  data: null,
  loading: false,
  error: null,
  
  // Actions
  fetchData: async () => {
    try {
      set({ loading: true, error: null });
      // Fetch logic
      set({ data: result, loading: false });
    } catch (error) {
      set({ error: error.message, loading: false });
    }
  },
}));

Testing

  • Write unit tests for components
  • Test store functions
  • Add integration tests for critical flows
  • Use React Testing Library
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import Component from './Component';

describe('Component', () => {
  test('renders correctly', () => {
    render(<Component />);
    expect(screen.getByText('Expected Text')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});
