React best practices for effects involve using them judiciously and preferring render-time computations. This enforces correct effect usage and proper dependency management to keep components predictable and maintainable.

Refactor legacy React components by applying clear rules for hooks, effects, and refs. Audit existing code to ensure effects are used correctly, refs are stable, and hooks are composed for predictable behavior and safer state management.

Yes, this guidance applies across both TypeScript and JavaScript React codebases (.tsx/.jsx). It enforces safety and quality requirements by ensuring correct effect usage and focused custom hooks in either environment.

Use refs in React component design when managing uncontrolled components or needing stable references. This guidance provides best practices for controlled versus uncontrolled components and robust custom hook composition.

The best way to structure custom hooks is to keep them focused and properly composed. This ensures predictable behavior by enforcing correct dependency management and robust hook design patterns across your application.
