react js coding standards

community conventions in React js

conventions are essential for maintaining consistency and collaboration in a development environment. 

The React community, like many other programming communities, has established conventions and best practices that developers are encouraged to follow. 

Here are some common community conventions for React development:

1. File and Folder Naming:

   - Use camelCase for file and folder names.

   - Components should have the same name as their file.

   - Use a consistent folder structure, such as grouping components by feature or domain.

2. Component Naming:

   - Use descriptive and meaningful names for components.

   - Use PascalCase (starting with a capital letter) for component names.

            // Example Component Name: UserProfile

3. State Management:

   - Prefer using state management libraries like Redux for complex state logic.

   - Follow common patterns for state management, such as actions, reducers, and selectors.

   -State Variables: Use camelCase for state variables within functional components.

    // Example State Variable: itemCount

4. CSS Styling:

   - Use a consistent approach for styling, such as CSS modules, styled-components, or another popular     styling solution.

   - Keep styles close to the components they are styling.

   -CSS Classes: Use camelCase for CSS class names.

        // Example CSS Class Name: buttonStyle

5. PropTypes:

   - Use PropTypes or TypeScript to define the expected types for component props.

   - Clearly document the expected props and their types.

6. Component Lifecycle Methods:

   - When using class components, follow community guidelines for the usage of lifecycle methods.

   - Be aware of deprecated lifecycle methods and use the recommended alternatives.

7. React Hooks:

   - When using functional components, prefer React Hooks for state management and side effects.

   - Follow established patterns for custom hooks.

   -Hooks: Prefix custom hooks with "use".

        // Example Hook: useCustomHook

8. Code Formatting:

   - Use a consistent code formatting style. Tools like Prettier can automate this process.

   - Set up a configuration file for code formatting rules and share it across the team.

9. Dependency Management:

    - Use a package manager like npm or Yarn for dependency management.

    - Keep dependencies up to date and follow security advisories.
