SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents inconsistent loading and pending UI behavior after code changes, which can cause flicker, stuck buttons, missing route fallbacks, or optimistic updates that don’t recover on errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Submit lockout validation: Detects mutation-backed forms where submit buttons are not disabled during pending states.
  • Loading convention consistency: Flags cases where a spinner is introduced in places where the app uses skeletons (or vice versa) to reduce jank and UI inconsistency.
  • Route pending fallback audit: Finds route loaders that lack a pendingComponent and may freeze the prior view.
  • Optimistic update rollback check: Identifies optimistic cache writes without an onError rollback to avoid showing changes that never persisted.
  • Accessible busy-region verification: Reports missing aria-busy on visibly substantial pending regions and suggests safe mechanical fixes when boundaries are unambiguous.

Quick Start

Run code-check-loading-states on the latest UI changes and ask it to "check loading states" for submit buttons, route pending fallbacks, optimistic rollback, and async-region busy accessibility.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check React loading states for async UX regressions?

Audit loading states by scanning diffed TSX files for submit buttons not disabled during pending states, inconsistent loading primitives, missing route pendingComponent fallbacks, optimistic updates without rollback, and missing aria-busy attributes.

Why do my optimistic updates get stuck after a mutation error?

Optimistic updates get stuck when the cache write lacks an onError rollback. Auditing the code for optimistic cache writes without an error handler prevents showing changes that never persisted to the server.

What is route loader pendingComponent used for in React?

Route loader pendingComponent provides a UI fallback while asynchronous route data loads. Route loaders lacking this component may freeze the prior view, causing missing route fallbacks and degrading perceived responsiveness.

How do I prevent inconsistent loading spinners and skeletons in a React app?

Prevent inconsistent loading UI by enforcing loading convention consistency across the app. Flag cases where a spinner is introduced in places where the app uses skeletons, or vice versa, to reduce visual jank.

Does this async UX audit work with plain JavaScript or only TypeScript React?

This async UX audit is designed for React and TypeScript UI updates. It requires scanning diffed TSX files to validate submit lockout, loading primitive consistency, route fallbacks, and accessible busy regions.

When do I need to add aria-busy to pending regions in React?

Add aria-busy to visibly substantial pending regions during asynchronous rendering. Accessible busy-region verification reports missing attributes and suggests safe mechanical fixes when boundaries are unambiguous.
