SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create reusable React hooks that follow Darkroom conventions to standardize client-side logic and improve maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a consistent template and scaffolding for new hooks located under lib/hooks/<name>.ts.
  • Enforces client-side hooks with 'use client', typed options and returns, and named exports.
  • Supports scalable patterns for common hook scenarios (state, effects, and integration with external libraries).

Quick Start

Ask Claude to generate a new hook file in lib/hooks named use<YourName> with proper types and 'use client'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable React hooks with consistent TypeScript conventions?

Scaffold reusable React hooks under lib/hooks/<name>.ts with explicit TypeScript types and named exports. This enforces consistent conventions, standardizes client-side logic, and improves maintainability across varied project contexts.

What conventions should I follow when building a custom React hook?

Follow conventions by including 'use client', frontmatter name and description, explicit types for options and returns, and named exports. Files must be located under lib/hooks/<name>.ts and named with the use prefix.

How do I scaffold a new React hook file in a TypeScript project?

Scaffold a new React hook file by asking Claude to generate use<YourName> in lib/hooks. The generated file automatically includes 'use client', explicit types, and named exports to support scalable patterns for state, effects, and external library integration.

Does this React hook scaffolding approach work for server components?

No, this React hook scaffolding approach does not work for server components. It enforces 'use client' for client-side React apps, targeting reusable hooks for state, effects, and external library integration.

Why do my custom React hooks need 'use client' and explicit types?

Custom React hooks need 'use client' and explicit types to follow Darkroom standards, ensuring the hooks are properly scoped for client-side execution and typed for scalable integration. This standardizes logic and improves maintainability.
