# React Composition Patterns
- Composition patterns for building flexible, maintainable React components. Avoid boolean prop proliferation by using compound components, lifting state, and composing internals. These patterns make codebases easier for both humans and AI agents to work with as they scale.

## When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
+
- Refactoring components with many boolean props
- Building reusable component libraries
- Designing flexible component APIs
- Reviewing component architecture
- Working with compound components or context providers
## Rule Categories by Priority
- | Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
- |----------|----------|--------|--------|
- | 1 | Component Architecture | HIGH | `architecture-` |
- | 2 | State Management | MEDIUM | `state-` |
- | 3 | Implementation Patterns | MEDIUM | `patterns-` |
+ | Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
+ | -------- | ----------------------- | ------ | --------------- |
+ | 1 | Component Architecture | HIGH | `architecture-` |
+ | 2 | State Management | MEDIUM | `state-` |
+ | 3 | Implementation Patterns | MEDIUM | `patterns-` |
## Quick Reference
### 1. Component Architecture (HIGH)
- - `architecture-avoid-boolean-props` - Don't add boolean props to customize behavior; use composition
- - `architecture-compound-components` - Structure complex components with shared context
+ - `architecture-avoid-boolean-props` - Don't add boolean props to customize
+ behavior; use composition
+ - `architecture-compound-components` - Structure complex components with shared
+ context
### 2. State Management (MEDIUM)
- - `state-decouple-implementation` - Provider is the only place that knows how state is managed
- - `state-context-interface` - Define generic interface with state, actions, meta for dependency injection
+ - `state-decouple-implementation` - Provider is the only place that knows how
+ state is managed
+ - `state-context-interface` - Define generic interface with state, actions, meta
+ for dependency injection
- `state-lift-state` - Move state into provider components for sibling access
### 3. Implementation Patterns (MEDIUM)
- - `patterns-explicit-variants` - Create explicit variant components instead of boolean modes
- - `patterns-children-over-render-props` - Use children for composition instead of renderX props
+ - `patterns-explicit-variants` - Create explicit variant components instead of
+ boolean modes
+ - `patterns-children-over-render-props` - Use children for composition instead
+ of renderX props
## How to Use
Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples:
```
rules/architecture-avoid-boolean-props.md
rules/state-context-interface.md
```
Each rule file contains:
+
- Brief explanation of why it matters
- Incorrect code example with explanation
- Correct code example with explanation
- Additional context and references
